Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which enjoyed the luck of being nominated twice in a row in the Asian Quarter and the Foreign Player Draft, announced a different 2023-2024 season.
Earlier, on the 27th of last month, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance selected Mongolian Eddie (198 cm) by winning the first pick through the same lottery odds in the Asian Quarter Draft.
In the foreign player draft held in Istanbul, Turkey on the 8th, he was able to bring Cuban Yosbani Hernandez (201 cm) by exercising the ‘substantial first choice right’.
This is because OK Financial Group, which was selected ahead of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, decided to renew the contract with Leonardo Leyva Martinez (registered name Leo).
Samsung Fire & Marine Manager Kim Sang-woo made up his mind to rebuild the ‘traditional home’ with the two foreign players as the main axis.
Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance stayed at the bottom last season and failed to advance to the V-League postseason for five consecutive years since the 2018-2019 season.
Coach Kim said, “It is fortunate that the team color can be changed to be more aggressive because the foreign player has also nominated a player that he had been thinking of (before) following the Asian quarter player.” .
He said, “This is the beginning. As for the training intensity, there is a long way to go to achieve what we are pursuing.”
Yosubani also responded that he would devote himself to the team’s leap forward.
Yosubani said, “I know that Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance was at the bottom, but that’s not a problem” and expressed his aspirations.
After joining OK Savings Bank (now OK Financial Group) in the 2018-2019 season and forming a relationship with the V-League, Yosbani played for Hyundai Capital in the 2019-2020 season and Korean Air in the 2020-2021 season. 토스카지노
Woori Card coach Shin Young-cheol, who was the only one among the seven clubs to designate a “new face,” explained that he highly evaluated Matei Kok (Slovenia, 199cm) for his defensive power.
Director Shin said, “Yosbani has better (attack) performance, but when it comes to receiving, Matei Kok is better,” and “I had to think about defense, so I chose Matei Kok.”
“I didn’t expect (the nomination) at all,” said Matei Kok, “I will work as hard as I can in Korea to become a leader.”
Hyundai Capital coach Choi Tae-woong, who nominated Ahmed Iqbairi (registered name Ikbairi), who played for Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance last season, said, “We are thinking of giving Iqbairi a change because the team style is different. We will maximize the advantage of quick feet.” foreshadowed
The other four clubs renewed contracts with players who played for their teams in the 2022-2023 season.
Before the draft began, Lincoln Williams (Korean Air, registered name Lincoln), Tais Dull Host (Korea Electric Power Corporation, registered name Thais), Leo (OK Financial Group), and Andres Viyena (KB Financial Group, registered name Viyena) were selected respectively. Re-contract confirmed.
The annual salary for foreigners in the V-League men’s division is $400,000 for the first year and $550,000 for players who have renewed contracts.
