# Hyundai Coach Kang Seong-hyung, Won All the Trophies said, “Thank you to the Players who Overcame the Pressure”

In the 2021-2022 season, we will not be able to ‘celebrate’ even if we finish first in the regular league.

Kang Seong-hyung (53), manager of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, had the ‘regular league first place ceremony’ he had dreamed of.

The Hyundai Engineering & Construction players playfully ‘tap’ Coach Kang.

Although it may have been painful, Director Kang had a smile on his face.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction defeated Pepper Savings Bank with a set score of 3-1 (23-25 25-15 26-24 25-19) in the professional volleyball Dodram 2023-2024 V-League women’s visiting match held at Gwangju Pepper Stadium on the 16th, and advanced to the regular league. 1st place confirmed. **[토토사이트 순위](https://www.outlookindia.com/plugin-play/2023년-11월-스포츠-토토사이트-순위-및-추천-사설토토-먹튀검증-top15-news-328577)**

In a desperate situation where they had to give up first place in the regular league to Heungkuk Life Insurance even if they gave up just one more set, Hyundai Engineering & Construction maintained first place in the regular league by winning 3 points.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s winning point is 80 (26 wins, 10 losses), and Heungkuk Life Insurance’s winning point is 79 (28 wins, 8 losses).

Coach Kang Seong-hyung said through the club after the game, “It was a really difficult game, but the players showed their strength.

I am thankful to the players for overcoming the pressure, which must have been great.

It was difficult because there were injured players during the season, but the coaching staff guided us well, so we achieved a good result.”

There was,” he said.

After taking first place in the regular league, Coach Kang also stands on the stage for his first personal championship game.

[Coach Kang Seong-hyung](https://outlookindia7.hashnode.dev/kia-tigers-50th-win-with-thrilling-comeback), who took the helm at Hyundai Engineering & Construction in the 2021-2022 season, produced overwhelming results and came close to taking first place in the regular league.

At that time, Hyundai Engineering & Construction accumulated 82 points (28 wins, 3 losses) through the first game of the 6th round.

If the V-League women’s division had not ended early, first place in the regular league could have been confirmed in the match against Pepper Savings Bank, which was scheduled to be held at Suwon Gymnasium on March 22nd.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction needed only 1 point to secure first place in the regular league.

The Hyundai Engineering & Construction club prepared a banner commemorating first place in the regular league, and the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) also planned to hold a small awards ceremony the moment first place in the regular league was confirmed.

However, a day earlier, on March 21, the KOVO board of directors decided to ‘end the women’s division early’ in the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and Hyundai Engineering & Construction finished the season as ‘No. 1 in the regular league’ that year without holding a ceremony.

There was also no women’s postseason.

At the time, Director Kang was disappointed and said, “I think my luck ends here.”

In the 2022-2023 season, they finished second in the regular league and went straight to the playoffs, but lost to [Korea Expressway Corporation](https://scrapbox.io/outlookindia/Ulsan_with_Hong_Myung-bo_Leaving_K-League_1,_Falls_to_3rd_Place_After_Losing_0-1_to_Gwangju) and failed to advance to the championship match.

In the third season with coach Kang Seong-hyung, Hyundai Engineering & Construction competed fiercely with Heungkuk Life Insurance for the lead and confirmed first place in the team’s last game of the regular season.

This time, an awards ceremony was held for first place in the regular league.

After finishing the awards ceremony in a good mood, coach Kang Seong-hyung wears the armband of ‘No. 1 in the regular league’ and prepares for the championship match.

Coach Kang said, “In the second set today, Jeong Ji-yoon was in a position where she had to receive the serve, and she overcame the pressure well.

It will have a positive effect in the championship game as well.”

He added, “Yang Hyo-jin has neck pain, and her shoulder condition is not perfect.

“We will give (registered name Wipawi) a long break,” he said.

He also shared his main training plan, saying, “I will prepare for the championship game through receive and strong serve training.”

Coach Kang often said, “I am playing happy volleyball” while leading [Hyundai Engineering & Construction](https://outlookindia.diary.ru/p222139681_korean-weightlifting-all-5-candidates-for-medal.htm).

The completion of ‘happy volleyball’ is a combined championship (1st place in the regular league and victory in the championship game).
