"I'm going to keep bumping into you."

 

The men's volleyball team, led by coach Ramirez Isanaye, lost to Japan at the second match of the 2024 Korea Cup international men's volleyball tournament at Jecheon Gymnasium on Sunday with a set score of 2-3 25-23 25-20 19-25 23-25 13-15. The team, which recorded one win and one loss, will play its third match of the tournament against Australia on Saturday after a day off.

 

In place of Hwang, Han Tae-joon of Woori Card took charge of the match as the main setter. Amid the management of Han's match, the national team won the first or second set, but failed to prevent the team's defeat by faltering a bit from the third set.

 

"Japan had a different strategy from the third set," Han said after the match. "We had a tough match, failing to respond quickly. The middle blocker has changed, and the seats before and after the left have also changed. I think we need to study and train a little more on how to proceed when the game is not going well."

 

Han played as the main setter for Woori Card last season. Even though he was born in 2004, he has displayed skillful game management and tossing. However, the international stage is different. Middle blockers are high in height and quality. "Middle blockers have different reading skills between V-League and international competitions. I feel like I am following them all. No matter what form I put up, I feel like I am following them," Han said.

 

However, I do not intend to be complacent. "I feel that I am not good enough, but I think I am getting more from failure like this," said Han Tae-joon. "I try to keep bumping into each other. That way, the door will open. I hope you will support me until the door opens."
