The effect of Kim Yeon-kyung, who also surprised Abondanza director… “Heungkuk fans are the best in the world, Incredible”
Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Marcello Abondanza (Italy), a world-renowned master, also raised his thumbs up for the tremendous support of fans thanks to the ‘Kim Yeon-kyung effect’. Heungkuk Life Insurance, with Kim Yeon-kyung at the forefront, went straight to the championship match, catching both the box office and performance in the 2022-23 season.
Heungkuk Life Insurance won with a set score of 3-0 (25-15 25-13 25-16) in the Dodram 2022-23 V-League Women’s Round 6 away match against IBK Industrial Bank held at the Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 15th.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, who won that day, won 26 wins and 9 losses (79 points), and regardless of the results of the remaining games, it widened the gap with second place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (70 points) and confirmed first place in the regular league.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, who reached the top of the regular league in four seasons after the 2018-19 season, achieved first place in the regular league for the 6th time in its career. Heungkuk Life Insurance competes for the championship trophy with a three-out-of-five system from the 29th with the winner of the playoffs facing the 2nd and 3rd places. Heungkuk Life Insurance, who achieved a combined championship in the 2018-19 season, aims for the 5th championship in 4 years.
It was possible that Heungkuk Life Insurance could not collapse even in a turbulent atmosphere such as the resignation of the manager in early January because of the fans who supported it with enthusiasm in every game.
Coach Abondanza, who achieved first place in the regular league three weeks after taking office last month, also expressed his gratitude repeatedly, saying, “I have been to many countries and clubs around the world, but (Heungkuk Life Insurance) fans are really amazing and the best.”
The ‘Kim Yeon-kyung effect’ is also proven by records메이저사이트.
Kim Yeon-kyung, who left for China last season after finishing runner-up in the 2020-21 season, returned to her hometown team after a year and caused a box office hit on the V-League court.
Heungkuk Life Insurance mobilized a total of 75,598 people in 17 home games this season. The average number of spectators is 4447. Incheon Samsan Gymnasium, the home of Heungkuk Life Insurance, boasted more heat than any other stadium.
It is an overwhelming figure even compared to GS Caltex (17 games total 46,269 people, average 2722 people), which ranks second in average home attendance in the women’s division. This is 2,000 more than the average number of spectators (2,476) for the women’s division.
Heungkuk Life Insurance players were able to exert their strength in every game as many cloud spectators gathered not only at home games but also at away games. On the 15th, even though it was an expedition to Hwaseong, fans of Heungkuk Life Insurance held pink cheering tools and applauded the players generously.
Even though it hasn’t been a month since I came to Korea, even in the eyes of coach Marcello, Heungkuk fans are proud and thankful.
He smiled, saying, “I am very surprised when I see the fans.”
Now, Kim Yeon-kyung and Heungkuk Life Insurance are looking at a ‘integrated victory’. Heungkuk Life Insurance is aiming for ‘V5’ after 4 seasons after the 2018-19 season.
Kim Yeon-kyung received the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in both the regular league and championship match after winning the combined championship with her Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 2005-06 season and 2006-07 season. In the 2008-09 season, he missed 1st place in the regular league, but reached the top of the championship game and lifted the 3rd trophy of his career.
Kim Yeon-kyung said, “It was unfortunate that we finished runner-up two years ago, but this season, despite a lot of hardships, we overcame it well and are proud of the results. We will prepare well and rise to the top until the final championship match.”
Head coach Abondanza also said, “We have risen to first place in the regular league, but there are still interesting challenges left.”
