1st candidate Maso didn’t come… The decision to renew the contract was also postponed, but the team refused. Yosubani No. 1 potential

The long-awaited player eventually did not attend.

메이저놀이터 On the 8th (hereafter Korean time), the last day of the men’s tryouts hosted by the Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO), Burhan Pelex Sport Complexi Gymnasium in Istanbul, Turkey. In the last practice game held before the draft, attention was focused on only one player. It was Jose Masso (26, 2m4) of Cuba. During the three-day tryout, Matso informed that he would attend only on the last day, and because of this, seven clubs reached an agreement and even postponed the decision to renew the contract by one day. It was evaluated as having a jump and power similar to that of Keita, who shook the V-League, and took the top spot in the club preference survey.

However, no matter how much I looked during the warm-up, I could not find a player wearing a vest with the number 12 assigned to him. KOVO said, “Initially, the current club allowed Maso to attend the last day, but the club suddenly refused permission the day before.”

As the players who participated in this tryout failed to show their skills beyond the existing players, expectations for Matso were higher. There was even an evaluation saying, “In the video, it is about 80 to 90% of Keita’s skill.” As the teams who were thinking about renewing the contract with the existing player decided to look at Maso and make a decision, the question of what Maso’s real skill would be grew. However, due to the current team’s refusal to participate, the draft was made without knowing the reality of Maso.

On this day, Barotti (32, 2m6), who played in the previous V-League, and Christian Lawrence (20, Puerto Rico, 2m2), who are at the top of the team’s preference, joined the practice game, but Maso, who was expected to be the first pick, did not attend. Kim had no choice but to fall. With this, Yosubani has emerged as the most influential candidate in the first place.

At 7:00 p.m. (1:00 p.m. local time) after the practice game ends, each club decides whether to renew the contract for the existing players. Afterwards, at 10:00 pm (4:00 pm local time), new foreign players to play in Korea in the 2023-2024 season will be decided.
