Who said we're the weakest? A sign that Wyler is going to be a big hit...GS Caltex to emerge as the core of the sensation

Someone called us weak.

GS Caltex's energy is unusual. He was classified as a weak player this season due to the departure of the main players, but he is causing a stir in the cup competition.

GS Caltex produced an extraordinary win with a 3-1 set score in the second group match against Hyundai Engineering & Construction of the 2024 Tongyeong Dodram Cup professional volleyball tournament at Tongyeong Gymnasium on the 1st.



What's wrong with you. Hyundai Engineering & Construction is the champion of last season, and has maintained its power this year as well. On the other hand, GS Caltex announced a rebuilding season centered on young players, as its main players, such as Kang So-hwi and Han Da-hye, transferred to the FA.

However, GS Caltex is writing an unexpected drama. He won 3-2 against Kang So-hwi, who left the Korea Expressway Corporation match, the first game of the cup competition, and even sank Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Lee Young-taek's claim, which he strongly said before the Cup, was not false.



First of all, GS Caltex's blocking, which was considered a chronic disease, is improving. As many as 18 blocks came out before the road construction. Starting with middle blocker Oh Se-yeon catching three, all players evenly blocked the opponent's attack. It should be said that the effect of Lee, a former national middle blocker, was revealed from the first game.

On top of that, Wyler in the Asian quarter is truly a sign of a big hit. A team of bad luck that had little effect in the Asian quarter last season. This season, Wyler from Australia was selected with ambition. an unusual resume from beach volleyball. During off-season training, it was evaluated that it took a little more time to adapt to Korean organizational volleyball, and he acknowledged it himself, but he was a real player. First of all, the height is overwhelming, and the hitting power is more than expected. If he gets better at breathing with the setter, he will be able to properly erase GS Caltex's Asian quarter nightmare. He flew 23 points against the road construction and 24 points against the Hyundai Construction.



GS Caltex is very likely that Silva, the strongest foreign player in the league, will perform unchanged as a fixed constant. If setter Kim Ji-won and new main libero Han Soo-jin show stability, GS Caltex is likely to become the core of the regular season sensation.
