00:00 The Choco Mucho Flying Titans have high hopes of winning a medal in the Premier Volleyball League.
00:07 On the opening of the new season in October,
00:09 the Cuponan will build their experience from the VTV Cup where they won a bronze medal.
00:17 That and more to be expected from the CMFT team in their next game,
00:21 Alamin, in Ulatik, Asuncion.
00:25 Since 2019, the Cuponan has not won a medal in the Premier Volleyball League.
00:33 But in the upcoming 2nd All-Filipino Conference in October,
00:38 one of their coaches, Jesse Lopez, believed that they have a chance to be in the top 3 teams.
00:45 This is because of their bronze medal finish in the 2023 VTV International Women's Volleyball Cup
00:50 held in Vietnam last week.
00:53 Lopez said that within the 7 months of joining the 2021 and 2022 PBL Open Conference 4th Placers,
01:01 he saw the confidence of the team.
01:04 The system of the new coach is that before they adapt, they will be the lowest in the 6th place.
01:10 I think they have adapted.
01:12 And with the exposure that happened to them,
01:15 I feel like they can reach the podium finish.
01:17 But we still haven't promised because it's hard to say the result.
01:21 The most important thing is, what they learned there,
01:24 the most sure thing is that they will bring all of their experience to the next PBL Conference.
01:29 Because they have added their confidence,
01:33 they have added their experience internationally,
01:38 they have all of that.
01:39 According to 2019 SEA Games Silver Medalist, Lopez,
01:43 the condition of their bodies, which was a problem for them back then,
01:47 because they were not used to playing every day.
01:50 So Coach Dante saw that our players need to get used to that kind of tournament system.
02:00 Like that, what was done in Vietnam, every day there's a game.
02:03 So we can see that there's still a lack of conditioning because
02:08 one of our outside players is running out of energy,
02:11 Isa is changing, one of our middle players is running out of energy,
02:14 sometimes Maddie has a problem,
02:18 sometimes Bea is not playing, Maika is not playing.
02:21 So there, we can see that in that tournament,
02:30 that our lack of conditioning is a bit obvious.
02:34 In the first All-Filipino Conference showing of CMFE,
02:38 they were 7th place from the 8 volleyball squad that joined.
