'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.

Amplification of Heung-Min Son's claim to go to the bench

How long will Tottenham manager Antonio Conte endure? Voices calling for Hisalisong to start as a starter instead of Son Heung-min, who are in a slump, are growing louder. Heung-Min Son played 74 minutes in the fourth round of the league match against Nottingham on the 28th (local time) and was replaced by Hisalisson. It is a substitute for 3 games in a row without scoring in 4 games in a row. Richalisong made an impressive performance while playing for Heung-Min Son. He also assisted for Harry Kane's goal against Nottingham. Soccer experts have argued that Conte should exclude Son Heung-min from the starting lineup. Such an atmosphere has been detected since last week. As Son Heung-min could hardly get out of the slump, some British media argued that Hisalisson should start. However, Conte's trust in Son Heung-min was exceptional. He encouraged Son Heung-min by saying, "There are no problems, but we are creating problems." Nevertheless, the media outlets are now pou...
