Ahead of the men's professional volleyball playoff (PO), the head coach of copyright and KB Insurance, who will play an outpost in the regular league, had a subtle war of nerves over the recruitment of copyright's top foreign player Kyle Russell.

Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu, where copyright and KB Insurance are scheduled to face off in the sixth round on the 18th.

Since the two teams have to play the first round of PO at the same place on the 26th, eight days later, this game is an important game to gain the upper hand with a 'previewed PO'.

copyright coach Tommy Tilikainen previously expressed his position on the issue of recruiting Russell by KB Insurance coach Leonardo Afonso.

"That's his personal opinion. We did it within the league. Each team has a different perspective. For me, I thought that was the best way to proceed," Tilikainen said, dismissing the coach's opinion as personal opinion.

Earlier, Coach Afonso pointed out that copyright recruited Russell in the sixth round ahead of the PO, saying, "It is not a good rule to replace foreign players without limiting the deadline."
"If we can replace foreign players at any time, wouldn't we be able to recruit a world-class player just before the postseason and try to win the championship?" coach Afonso said. "In order for the V-League to develop, all volleyball players need to think about this."

copyright recruited Russell on the 8th after existing foreign player Yosvani Hernandez (registered name Yosvani) was unable to play in the aftermath of a knee injury.

"I believe copyright acted within the set regulations. If KB Insurance was in a similar situation to copyright, we would have made a similar choice," Afonso said before the match.

However, he explained, "It's not that I'm not conscious of Russell, but the concern is that there is only two sets of information about Russell (the last time he played). It points out the difference in the balance of information compared to the accumulation of information that Villena has played nearly 36 games." 스포츠토토

He added, "As I said before, if we set the deadline for replacing foreign players up to the fourth round, we will be able to resolve the information imbalance and have time for the player to adapt to the Korean league."
