"Silva is working so hard." I'm about to cry when I'm watching."

a predicted last place. This is the view of the volleyball community looking at GS Caltex this season.

All four internal FAs left the last FA market, and failed to recruit a prominent big player.




There's a silver lining to meHandle was expected to be difficult to get out of the bottom of this season, and the reality is the same. He has been at the bottom of the season with 5 wins and 21 losses (19 points) this season.

As it is a team with many young players, some in the volleyball world say to press the 'Reset' button early.

However, GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek has a different opinion. Still, there are players who can bring few wins even with weak power, and they are struggling with their whole body without complaining. The explanation is that we cannot demand further sacrifice.




It's about foreign player Silva. With 704 points in 22 games, he is ranked first overall, beating Victoria (670 points in 26 games) due to his injury absence this season. At the start of the fourth round, he scored 151 points in three games, and struggled with 55 points in the last match against Pepper Savings Bank.

"The squad is young as a whole, and there are many players who need to grow. But Silva works so hard every game...Watching from the side makes me cry, too. I'm sorry to ignore Silva's sacrifice just because he's raising young players. "I think it's right to be the best member we can be in every game."

Coach Lee Young-taek made a fatal mistake in the last Pepper Savings Bank match. During the second set, when Silva was leading 23-17 and 24-21, he suffered a upset loss after replacing Silva, mistaken the number of replacements, and faced an unfortunate upset loss after hesitating because he had to replace the setter. It was even more regrettable because he lost the set score 2-3 after a close game in the full set.




Coach Lee Young-taek said, `It was a bit like that until that evening, and now it's past, so I'm trying to forget everything. I am worried that the players are tired because they have only two days to spare, but I prepared well to win as it is the last home game this weekend," he stressed.

As for rookie Lee Ju-ah, "He is tall, aggressive, and has sufficient potential. But I think it's right to prepare a little more and put it in," he replied. As for Kim Joo-hyang, who was recruited as an FA, he expressed regret, saying, `I think I couldn't find confidence because I had a time to rehabilitate because I had a back injury at the beginning of the season.'
