The Volleyball Game is Changing

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's Kim Sang-woo and OK Financial Group's Ohgino Masah third are looking at the tryouts.

This is the butterfly effect caused by the moment's choice.

The 2024 KOVO Men's Foreign Player Draft organized by the Korea Volleyball Federation KOVO has been completed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Most of the seven foreign players' lineup, which will be enjoyed next season, has predictable names. However, their teams went beyond the expected category. This means that the draft was full of unexpected events.

"The Choice"

A total of three days include foreign tryouts and drafts. The most important time is on the second day at 6 p.m. This is because the deadline is for teams of existing players who re-apply for the draft to announce whether they will renew their contracts. Attention was focusing on whether Leonardo Leyva former OK Financial Group and Yosvani Hernandez former Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance would renew their contracts this year.

OK Financial Group's manager, Ogiino, and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's manager, Kim Sang-woo, repeatedly made their final decision with only one minute left before the deadline. They were "the choice" to laugh at all expectations. Both teams gave up renewing their contracts, and only KB Insurance decided to extend their partnership with Andres Villena.

"There is a player who is more suitable for the volleyball that we are aiming for," Ogino said. Kim Sang-woo also replaced the explanation by saying, "We have a wide range of choices." The explanation was made in consideration of the "safety measures" that Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance may re-nominate Yosvani in case of an emergency, as it receives 30 marbles, the second largest number out of a total of 140.

A storm of chaos

Everything was twisted. This is due to the drawing of the order of nominations, in which "unexpected events" occurred one after another. Out of 140 marbles distributed in reverse order of performance last season, Korean Air's orange ball, which contained the fewest five, was the first to pop out, causing chaos in the market. It was not the end. Hyundai Capital 20, which was ranked fourth, was the second with blue beads. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance was pushed back to the sixth place. It was the moment that manager Kim Sang-woo's winning move, which he attempted based on his chance, went up in smoke. OK Financial Group 10 also accepted the final order.

After surpassing 3.57 percent chance, Korean Air didn't hesitate to call Yosvani. Although it lost Lim Dong-hyuk military service, it gained just as much spear as it did. Hyundai Capital also chose Leo with a big smile. It is a Cuban-made cannon that is attached to the Jeon Kwang-in-Hyesubong line. The Aces that would shake the game of the league flew to the nest, and both teams have emerged as presidential candidates.

Tommy Tilikainen, head coach of Korean Air, and Fabio, coach of Hyundai Capital, smile brightly after the draft.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance was embarrassed. It was the only one who called the time. The result of "crying and eating mustard" was Mattei Kok. He impressed Woori Card last season, but failed in the middle due to injury. Still in the rehabilitation process, he couldn't even play a proper practice match in the tryout. This proves that Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance didn't have as many options.

Coach Ogino of OK Financial Group, who released Leo, called out Manuel Luconi from Italy, who rated him as "the right player for speed volleyball." Although his presence is not without merit, critics say his presence is regrettable in various aspects, including height and power. The runner-up team of last season was also full of question marks. 스포츠토토

One choice upended all the scenarios. It was Dubai, a mix of unexpected luck and regret.
