GS Caltex, the women's professional volleyball team, could not avoid losing consecutive games despite the strong performance of "main gun" Gisele Silva (registered name Silva).
GS Caltex lost to the Korea Expressway Corporation (29-31 25-16 22-25 25-188-15) in an away game in the fourth round of the Dodram 2024-25 V-League Women's Division at Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium on the 15th.
As a result, GS Caltex, which lost two consecutive games, remained at the bottom with its 19th loss of the season (2 wins, 10 points). GS Caltex, which broke its 14th consecutive loss against the leading Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 7th, seemed to be on the rise, but it fell back into a losing streak as it failed to overcome the crisis of a full set match for two consecutive games.
Although GS Caltex has Silva, the best foreign player in the women's team this season, it seems that it is a long way from escaping to the bottom.
Silva is currently ranked second in overall score in the V-League after Victoria (IBK Industrial Bank). Victoria has 530 points in 20 matches and Silva 520 points in 17 matches, effectively ranking first.
Notably, Silva showed stellar performance at the match with Korea Expressway Corporation, scoring 51 points, the most in a single game by an individual player. His attack share stood at 52.12 percent, accounting for more than half of his team's attacks.
Silva also scored 51 points in the match against Heungkuk Life on the 7th, the first game of the second half, playing a decisive role in GS Caltex's escape from the quagmire of 14 consecutive losses.
However, the limitations were clear as Silva's dependence continued to be too high in the later games, and eventually fell back into a losing streak.
Against the Korea Expressway Corporation, GS Caltex played its part by scoring only about 13 points for Kwon Min-ji, but other Korean players were disappointed. Kwon Min-ji's attack share stood at 16.36 percent and Yoo Seon-yeon's attack share at 18.79 percent, making it highly dependent on Silva.
On the other hand, Korea Expressway Corporation's foreign player Nicolova scored 24 points, the most in the team, but her attack share was 24.71%, lower than native ace Kang So-hwi (33.53%).
In addition, the Korea Expressway Corporation contrasted with GS Caltex, where attacks were concentrated on Silva, with Nikolova, Kang So-hwi's twin guns, Bae Yuna, and Tanacha scoring double-digit points.
It seems urgent to escape to the bottom, but GS Caltex is also forced to consider the future of the team as it is highly likely to fail to advance to volleyball in the spring.
However, if the dependence on Silva is high as it is now, the opportunity for prospects in the team to grow will inevitably decrease.
It is not as easy as it sounds to catch both the last place and the development of prospects, but it is also a part that needs to be considered when the moment of choice and concentration comes. 먹튀검증
First of all, it was concluded that Silva alone could not win the last two games. It is time for domestic players to work harder.
