Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on Thursday, when the fourth round of the 2023-2024 V-League between GS Caltex and Heungkuk Life Insurance staged a showdown. The focus of the match was on foreign player Elena Mzeranovic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who has shown sluggish performance recently. Recently, Yelena has noticeably seen her attack efficiency decline. In the match against Korea Expressway Corporation on July 12, she only scored eight goals while playing four sets. The success rate of her offense was only 20 percent. The efficiency of her offense fell to -10 percent. This means that her offense was a loss to her team. Although Elena had several success rates in attacks at around 20 percent range, it was the first time that she only scored in single digits in a match against Korea Expressway Corporation.
Even in pre-match interviews, questions were raised about Yelena. "Yelena was okay in the early part of the season, but she seems to have failed in the second round. I hope her team will help her and bring good results. I hope her team will calm down the criticism by scoring a goal like Apogit Spiker," she said. "If a player's performance is not good, of course, I can criticize him," she said. "Even if the V-League tries to replace a foreign player, it should only be brought in by tryouts. As the market itself is not open, it cannot bring in players that it wants to bring in," Avondan said.
When the game started, Yelena's position was not in the court but in the warm-up zone. Coach Avondanja used Yelena as a double switch at the end of the first set and made her play as a substitute in the second set. His performance seemed somewhat better than the previous game, but he still fell short of expectations
From the third set, Jelena started. She aimed to take advantage of Jelena's 196 centimeters tall blocking wall. In the third and fourth sets, Jelena's report card gave her 12 points including one blocking. Her attack success rate was 37 percent, which was even better than that of the Korea Expressway Corporation, but GS Caltex's Silva scored 37 points with 47.9 percent of the time.
On this day, Heungkuk Life Insurance fought hard between Kim Yeon-kyung (23 points) and Raina (17 points), but the team's atmosphere was chaotic and Raina's open attack was blocked in a three-set deuce battle, losing the set score 1-3.
After the match, Avondanja left a meaningful comment on Yelena. When asked how Yelena performed, Avondanja said, "There are many questions about Yelena, but as you can see, her performance is not good right now. As you can see from the analysis sheet and statistics after the match, it is no secret that she has shown poor performance. Everyone knows this," and added, "Yelena has some skills to support her teammates even though her performance is not good enough. Her attitude is a little disappointing, however. She needs to work harder."
Avondanja's remarks have significant implications. Due to repeated slumps, the team took measures to start games in the warm-up zone, but its performance did not improve significantly. Moreover, if the team takes issue with its attitude, it means that the team can make a decision to replace Yelena.
Coach Marcello Avondan of Heungkuk Life`s pro volleyball team made harsh remarks against foreign player Yelena Mrazenovic. Despite repeated slumps in recent months, the team even gave a "extremely weak" measure to start matches on the bench, but there has been no rebound. It seems that the time is approaching to make a decision on "alien replacement."
Heungkuk Life Insurance has now finished the first half with 50 points (18 wins and six losses). Since the first-runner Hyundai Engineering & Construction (55 points, 18 wins and five losses) is far ahead of Pepper Savings Bank in an objective match on Friday, adding three more points widens the gap to eight. As it takes three games to catch up with the eight points, the gap is not an easy to turn around. Moreover, the gap with third-ranked GS Caltex (43 points, 15 wins and nine losses) has narrowed to seven. Now, we need to worry about second-ranked Mercury, not retaking the lead. https://edwardsrailcar.com/
