Pepper Savings Bank in trouble for women in the V-League

Pepper Savings Bank won a set score of 3-2 (23-25, 24-26, 25-22, 27-25, 15-9) in an away match against Korea Expressway Corporation in the sixth round of the 2023-2024 V-League held at Gimcheon Indoor Stadium in North Gyeongsang Province at 7 p.m. on Sunday. After escaping from 23 consecutive losses, Pepper Savings Bank achieved 10 points (3-28).

It was an uphill battle. Pepper Savings Bank was pushed to the brink by dedicating the first and second sets to the Korea Expressway Corporation. However, it gained strength in the third and fourth sets to dramatically tie the set score, and ended its grueling 23rd consecutive loss thanks to performances by Yasmin Bedardt and Park Jeong-ah in the fifth set.

Pepper Savings Bank won the victory that it wanted so much. Still, there are still unfavorable factors to be resolved. It is internal conflict within the team.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) held a reward and punishment committee for the human rights violations of Pepper Savings Bank player A at 10 a.m. in the conference room of the federation.

Pepper Savings Bank player A is known to have constantly bullied B and C, who are juniors in the same team, last year. B and C, who were bullied, left the team last year. The fact was disclosed when an anonymous reporter reported the act to KOVO, and a reward and punishment committee was held on the same day. However, the reward and punishment committee decided to resume the meeting on July 27 as it determined that further investigation is needed.

For this reason, the worst atmosphere was expected, but fortunately, Pepper Savings Bank took a breather by overcoming its 23rd consecutive defeat. Concerns were raised that Pepper Savings Bank's record of most consecutive losses (25 consecutive losses) in a single season, which was set by the Korea Electric Power Corporation during the 2012-2013 season, and that it could break the record of 27 consecutive losses set by the Korea Electric Power Corporation over two seasons, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009, but it avoided disgrace by winning the match on the day. Of course, Pepper Savings Bank's 23 consecutive losses remain the record of the most consecutive losses in a single women's season.

However, apart from the victory of the match, it is also necessary to resolve the internal conflict of the team as soon as possible, as the fact of internal strife in the team has been leaked to the outside world. It is expected that it will be important to stabilize the team as soon as possible, even in order to repay the fans for their good performance in the remaining games.

Pepper Savings Bank has already disappointed its fans due to 23 consecutive losses and conflict among its players. Fortunately, it avoided the worst disgrace by winning the game. However, there are still team issues to be resolved. Attention is focusing on whether Pepper Savings Bank, which has overcome one crisis, will be able to overcome another and take a leap forward for the rest of the season.  토토사이트넷
