Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikainen said ahead of the Hyundai Capital game held at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 14th, “We really prepared hard for today.
"Not only me, but all the players are excited," he said.
Korean Air, which won three consecutive combined championships until last season, is attempting to make history by becoming the first men's team to win four consecutive wins this season.
Coach Tilkainen also has a habit of saying 'History'.
He said, "I am firm in my goal of writing history.
The important thing is the direction of how to reach that goal," and revealed that he will keep in mind not just victory as his goal, but also 'how to win.'
Jeong Ji-seok, the team's main gun, cannot play in the opening game due to back pain.
Coach Tommy Tilkainen said, "The back problem must be approached carefully.
It was not included in the entry at all.
I check the situation every week, but honestly, I am not an expert, so it is difficult to say when I will return.
However, our team has a lot of members, so it is to some extent possible." He expressed confidence, saying, “I will be able to fill the void.”
Hyundai Capital is determined to block Korean Air’s dominance.
At the men's media day on the 11th, Hyundai Capital coach Choi Tae-woong was the only player to predict that Korean Air would not advance to the championship game.
At the time, Coach Choi provoked, saying, “OK Financial Group defeated Korean Air to advance to the championship game and meet us, who took first place in the regular league.”
On this day, Coach Choi expressed his determination, saying, "I said that because that was the best scenario for our team.
I want to defeat a team that has a goal (4 consecutive wins).
I will show an interesting side and I will not give up until the end."
Hyundai Capital's starting setter Kim Myeong-kwan will not be able to play in today's opening game due to an ankle injury.
Coach Choi said, "We've only been training together for about a week.
It's true that our hands and feet are a little out of sync," and added, "We're trying to lower the tension in the first game as much as possible."
Jeon Kwang-in is also not in good shape.
Coach Choi said, "Jeon Kwang-in's jumping is not perfect due to the aftermath of his injury.
Instead, I hope he will focus on defense."
