(Sports Seoul | Ansan = Reporter Park Jun-beom) It seems that OK Savings Bank’s new foreign player Chris will not have many opportunities to play.
OK Savings Bank will face off against Woori Card in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League Men’s Division at Ansan Sangnoksu Gymnasium on the 12th. OK Savings Bank carried out a foreign exchange. They ambitiously brought in Luconi, but it did not meet expectations, so they brought in Chris as a replacement foreign player. Chris is aposite with a height of 210cm.
However, Coach Ogino Massage said before the game, “(Chris) will not play much. I guess I didn’t have much time to train. I think he will be used as a one-point blocker today. “I brought Chris here with the idea that it would be nice to feel the atmosphere of the V-League or the stadium,” he said.
OK Savings Bank remains in last place with 1 win and 4 losses amid Luconi’s slump. Coach Ogino said, “The work to do is the same. It’s all gone until it falls, and all that’s left to do is climb up. Since new foreign players have arrived, we will use new tactics and strategies. “In order to get off to a good start in the second round, we need to maintain a good atmosphere,” he emphasized.
With Chris joining the team, we also need to think of a new way to utilize Shin Ho-jin, who played Apogit instead of Luconi. Coach Ogino said, “Shin Ho-jin is playing as an apositem, so we need to think about using him as an outside hitter. I will think about it through training. There are 2-3 formations and I think we need to guess which one is best. “I will try to squeeze it in,” he explained.
In response to this, Woori Card coach Mauricio Paes said, “The players will gain confidence. My mood has improved and although I feel tired, I think positively. “Some people prefer this,” he said. “It is time for OK Savings Bank to have a new atmosphere with the replacement of foreign players. It’s not good for us. “Chris clearly has potential and growth potential,” he said. beam2@sportsseoul.com
