"I will show you by action, not by words."
Korea Expressway Corporation, led by head coach Kim Jong-min, will be joined by Kazakhstan's outside heater and apogee spiker Unieska Battista (registered name Unies).
Born in 1993, uni is a dual Kazakhstan and Cuban national with experience in various leagues including Cuba, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Greece, Poland, Israel and Turkiye. This is the first V - League.
Kim Jong-min, who chose Uni as the third overall pick in the 2024 Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) Women's Asian Quarter Draft held on Jeju Island in May, said immediately after the nomination, "You look good in personality. You look like a cat bell. You can play both the apogit and the outside heater, and you didn't look bad on the video. You will play diagonal line with Kang. It seems like you are hitting the ball with technique, but I also think you have power."
Uni, who came to Korea on the 1st and immediately joined the team training, is spending a lot of time on team training with Korean players along with jet lag. For now, he is expected to play as an outside heater.
"I really like Korea. The food is good, the city is pretty, and the people are nice. I also went to a back meat restaurant in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, and had delicious meat. I am so satisfied with my life in Korea so far," Yuni said while talking with a reporter at the Korea Expressway Corporation's practice gymnasium in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province.
He has played in many leagues so far. Why did he choose to challenge himself in the V-League this time.
"I've been to so many countries and I have many friends. Among them, I have friends who played in the V-League for four to five years. I was curious why they played in Korea for so long. Korea is a really far away country for me. So I have more questions," he said. "I've heard a lot from Yosvani and Leo as well."
"I think the V-League is a very competitive and fierce league. I also felt a lot from watching Kim Yeon-koung (Heungguk Life Insurance) as a world-class player."
Korea Expressway Corporation (KTO) accomplished its dream of becoming a V2 player in the 2022-23 season. After finishing third in the regular season, it beat Hyundai Engineering & Construction in the playoffs to advance to the championship game, bringing the reverse sweep to Heungkuk Life. KOC was the first team that lost the first and second rounds of the championship.
However, the team ranked sixth last season. Tanacha Suk-sot (registered name Tanacha), who played in the team's first Asian quarter last season, played in all 36 games, but scored only 365 points. He had high expectations for the Thai national team, but had ups and downs.
Since it is a road construction looking higher, Uni should be supportive of the road construction by forming a triangular formation with Kang So-hwi and foreign player Merelin Nicolova.
"I will show you by action, not by words. I will not say that I will win first place or third place. I will do my best in every match," Yuni said. "If I describe myself in one word, I am a fighter. 토토사이트 모음 I will do my best to unite with my teammates and show good teamwork, and I will do my best to have my team become a champion. I also came to Korea to become a champion, so I will play in the event to my death."
