South Korea currently ranks sixth in Group C
4th consecutive loss in the beginning, Game 5 against Colombia

 Winning a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics has gone far. It collapsed in the first four consecutive losses in the group stage Group C of the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifying round in Uchi, Poland. Now meet opponents worth a try. South Korea, led by Cesar Hernandez González, is seeking a turnaround.

South Korea, ranked 36th in the world, met with strong players one after another at the beginning of the preliminary round. He lost the first game against Italy, ranked fifth in the world, 0-3 on set points, and lost the second game against home team Poland ranked seventh in the world. In the third game against Germany, ranked 12th in the world, they were unfortunately pushed back after a full-set battle, and lost 1-3 in the fourth game against the U.S., ranked 3rd in the world.

As expected, it was very difficult at the beginning. But it also showed possibilities in its own way. As serve and defense organization improved, they were not unilaterally pushed back. He won the set in all three games except for the first game against Italy. Compared to the Volleyball Nations League VNL and the Asian Championship, the players' teamwork is much better.

Now we're going on a victory hunt. The team will meet Colombia, the lowest-ranked team in Group C, on Tuesday. Colombia is ranked 22nd in the world and is currently ranked 8th in Group C. Like Korea, they lost all four of the first games. It lost 0-3 in the first leg against the United States and 1-3 in the second leg against Germany. They lost Game 3 against Poland and Game 4 against Italy.

He's an opponent who can beat him enough. There is nothing to lose even if you indirectly compare your performance with your opponents before this tournament. You have to shake your opponent with sharp serve and steadily accumulate points with various and accurate attacks. If they perform well as the defensive organization that was revived from the second game, they can get good results.

Korea is currently ranked sixth in Group C. He is in sixth place, beating Slovenia and Colombia, which have lost four games. Although he lost to all the strong teams, he did well and won the set four times and won one point. After the match against Colombia, the team will face Thailand 13th in the world on the 23rd and Slovenia 28th in the world on the 24th. He will then fly to Hangzhou, China, to participate in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
