The "bread" has disappeared, but the entire V-League is still dominated by foreign players.
According to the volleyball community on Monday, foreign players' injury directly affects the team's performance, which is causing mixed feelings. Some point out that the result is that Korean players' performance is not good enough, which could accelerate the Korean volleyball crisis.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, the "Dokju" team, also failed to escape. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had been continuing its high flight by winning 14 consecutive games this season, recently suffered three consecutive losses due to injuries to two foreign players. Foreigner Apogit spiker Tutku bourgeois Yuzgenk suffered a knee injury in the Jeonggwanjang on April 17, and even Asian quarter middle blocker Anilis Peach was absent from the match against Korea Expressway Corporation on April 24.
In the absence of the two foreign players, Kim Yeon-koung's offense became dull as she was also under intensive checks by the opponent's defense, and the overall teamwork of the team is also faltering. Heungkuk Life Insurance is reportedly looking at alternative foreign players, judging that their injuries will be prolonged.
GS Caltex, the lowest ranking women's team, also experienced the worst slump. It advanced to the semifinals at the World Cup championships ahead of this season, drawing keen attention from the team with better-than-expected performance. However, the team experienced the worst slump as Stephanie Weiler and Gisele Silva both got injured at the same time in the Asian quarter. Silva has returned to the court, but is the only team among the seven teams to remain at the bottom, remaining in single-digit points.
The effect of foreign players is also a must for men. copyright, which came in second place, had foreign striker Yosvani Hernández injured after playing in only two games, but immediately replaced Maksim Zigalov as a substitute.
In contrast, KEPCO, which had five consecutive wins in the opening game for the first time, suffered the brunt of Lewis Elian Estrada's injury. His performance plummeted due to delays in recruiting substitute foreign players. Although the team belatedly recruited Apogit spiker Krouchuk Mateus, it still needs to sharpen its strides.
OK Savings Bank, which is ranking at the bottom, is also largely attributable to sluggish performance of foreign Apogit spiker Christian Balzac (registered name: Chris). His height of 210 centimeters raised expectations, but he has not displayed strong performance in 12 games (132 points), showing a 39.85 percent attack success rate.
Critics point out that as the proportion of foreign players is increasing, opportunities for Korean players to grow are gradually disappearing. In particular, both men and women have been sluggish in recent international competitions and have lost competitiveness. The problem is that everyone is aware of the crisis, but there are no clear improvements.
Although domestic players should be given a chance to grow in the 메이저놀이터 V-League, the reality is that foreign players who are guaranteed to score are given an opportunity. The club must make performances right away, and the more it does, the less likely it is for exceptional Korean players to appear. It is a crisis that exists behind Korean volleyball, which desperately needs "post-Kim Yeon-kyung."
