Coach Hu said, “Every year, I heard that the height of the middle blocker was a weakness,” and added, “To reinforce the height, I started with Min Han and Yo-han Choi, and they followed the off-season training well.”
Meanwhile, Coach Hu was also concerned about the condition of main gun Andrés Vijena (registered name Viena).
Coach Hu said, "I injured my calf muscle while playing for the Spanish national team.
I was worried about myself, so I couldn't train much.
