I don't play on the national court anymore, but I wanted to help. So, he decided to coach the players and serve as an advisor to the entire national team, including leaders and support staff.
Kim Yeon-kyung was busy even before the game even though she was an advisor. She arrived at the stadium three hours earlier than the players and confirmed her opponent's strength by watching other countries' games. And when the Korean players arrived, they went down to the court and stood behind the bench to help their juniors train. I couldn't directly help him because I wasn't a coach, but I took the lead in growing the national team by cheering and clapping loudly from behind.
Kim Yeon-kyung, who was outside the court with her bag on her back, felt awkward. However, the fact that Kim Yeon-kyung is next to her seems to be a great help to juniors. Players often approached Kim Yeon-kyung and asked questions and were encouraged.
At the end of the training, adviser Kim Yeon-kyung couldn't sit on the bench and moved to the stands with the players who were excluded from the final list of the tournament to watch the game.
However, the women's volleyball team was lethargic despite Kim Yeon-kyung's support. Following the match against Bulgaria, he also knelt in the match against the Dominican Republic. Kim Yeon-kyung and the players also looked embarrassed by the bigger-than-expected difference in skills. In the end, Korea was humiliated by winning 25 consecutive VNL titles.
As it is the third week of VNL in Korea, I want to show my home fans winning, but it is not expected to be easy. The national team is set to play its last two matches against China on July 1 (6th) and Poland on July 2nd (2nd). Will Kim Yeon-kyung and Korean women's volleyball be able to enjoy their first win in front of Korean fans.
