Gwangju Pepper Savings Bank, which had been at the bottom for three consecutive seasons since its foundation, has had the best luck in the draft. Will it be able to achieve bigger dreams by escaping from the bottom this time.
Pepper Savings Bank acquired Croatian apogit spiker Barbara Jabic as the first choice in the 2024 KOVO Women’s Foreign Player Draft held at Dubai Science Park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on the 9th.
Including the clubs that completed the priority contract, the order of nomination was divided into 7th place Pepper Savings Bank (35), 6th place Gimcheon Korea Expressway Corporation (30), 5th place Hwaseong IBK Industrial Bank (25), 4th place Seoul GS Caltex (20), 3rd place Daejeon Jeonggwanjang (15), 2nd place Incheon Heungkuk Life Insurance (10) and Suwon Hyundai Engineering & Construction (5). The order of nomination was then decided in order of Jeonggwanjang, Korea Expressway Corporation, IBK Industrial Bank, GS Caltex, Heungkuk Life Insurance and Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
Pepper Savings Bank recruited Chinese middle blocker Zhang Yu, who is 197cm tall, with the luck of winning the first pick in the Asian quarter draft on the 1st, and again this time, he brought Apojit Jabic, who is 191cm, to gain a clear advantage in Xinjiang.
According to KOVO, Jang Soo-yeon, the new manager of Pepper Savings Bank, said, “It’s good to pick the players I wanted. I picked several players since I came from Korea, and they were my favorite players,” adding, “They are competitive in terms of height and power.” He has a high understanding of volleyball. He had an excellent life as well as a scholarship for the past four years in the U.S. What caught my attention when I came to the site was that he had a good understanding of volleyball, even when the coaches explained about the evaluation exercise to other players. He also praised his life as he received scholarships in the U.S. for four years.”
“It is difficult to play when you are pushed back from the height. It was well established when we recruited Jangwi in the Asian quarter, and foreign players continued to play,” he said. “I think training to utilize that height should be conducted. I focused on Apogit Spiker, but I saw a wide range of players because it could narrow down too much.” 안전놀이터 추천
