'Do You Still Remember Me?'...A Veteran Cuban Player That Korean Fans Were So Grateful For'

A player who did not even play in the game received applause from volleyball fans.

This happened in the quarterfinals between Cuba and Chile at the 2022 FIFA World Volleyball Challenger Cup Men's Tournament held at Jamsil Students' Gymnasium in Seoul on the 28th of last month.

Before the match, the announcer in the hall introduced the players of both teams. Among the unfamiliar names, a name that seemed to have been heard somewhere was called, and the volleyball fans who visited the stadium cheered.

Who was it that volleyball fans welcomed it so much? It was Michael Sanchez (36). Sanchez played for Korean Air from the 2013 season to the 2015 season and for KB Insurance in the 2019 season, and was loved by Korean fans. A powerful serve at the time, he even took first place in the 2013-2014 season with 0.463 serves per set.

Although he did not play, he did his best as a veteran in the warm-up zone, encouraging his teammates and setting the team atmosphere.

Sanchez, who came to Korea after three years, was so grateful to the Korean fans who still remembered him and welcomed him warmly.

Cuba won lightly against Chile with a set score of 3-0 (25-20 25-19 25-19). However, Sanchez, who had not played in the game, was asked for an interview, and Sanchez took the microphone with a shy look. In an interview, Sanchez continued to show affection for Korea, saying, "I came to Korea after three years, and I felt it even when I was with Korean Air and KB Insurance, but Korea seems to be growing all the time." And he said, "I didn't get the chance to play, but I came to help the team," he said, showing a veteran figure emphasizing teamwork.

Meanwhile, Cuba won the Volleyball Challenger Cup and qualified for next year's Volleyball Nations League. Sanchez has also been selected for the Cuban national team and is preparing for the World Championships to be held in Poland and Slovenia from the 26th.

In addition to Sanchez, Simon 토토사이트, who is welcomed by Korean fans, also joined the Cuban national team. Sanchez, born in 1986, and Simon, born in 1987, are veteran players who are now in their mid-30s, but they are determined to dedicate themselves to the team, saying, "Until the team needs my help, I will be happy to help." Cuba is aiming to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics with two veterans.

Ben Simmons Shall we fly more with Harden, the jewel of the shadowed PHI?

The Philadelphia 76ers picked Tyrese Maxi from the University of Kentucky with the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Maxy, who fell behind in the nomination rankings than expected, expanded his presence in the NBA by playing as the Sixth Man in his debut season. Although his sophistication was lacking, Maxi left a lot of impression with his bold appearance that did not hesitate to break through. He also scored 39 points in a game against Denver on January 10, 2021, when key players were largely absent in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. An opportunity came ahead of last season for Maxi, who was gradually improving his abilities. Ben Simmons, who was the starting point guard, refused to play in the game after a quarrel with the team. This meant that Maxi would soon have more opportunities. Maxy, who ran freely on the court, was reborn as a Philadelphia treasure during the breakout season. Maxi, who kept Philadelphia from collapsing despite all kinds of bad news...

Did you forget 2 goals, "Man Utd is pushing for a comeback after 5 years"

The possibility that Memphis Depay (28, FC Barcelona), who was once called Dutch Cristiano Ronaldo, will return to Old Trafford has been raised. Depay has recently been linked with Juventus, but is having trouble negotiating. Manchester United, who are currently suffering from a lack of a goalkeeper, have joined the bid for a signing. Spain's Marca reported that "Man United are considering signing Depay for around 10 million euros (13.3 billion won)." Depay moved to Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in July 2015. At the time, he recorded a transfer fee of 34 million euros (45.3 billion won). Contrary to his expectations, he did not adapt, and he left for Olympique Lyon after a year and a half, staying on two league goals. As time goes by, after five years, United try to embrace Depay at a price that has tripled.
