"I said I'd come without thinking about it."

Ryohei Iga, 30, played as the best libero in men's V-League last year. He ranked No. 1 in dig (2.842 per set) and No. 2 in receiving efficiency (50.75 percent) as a member of Korea Electric Power Corp. and was listed as the "Best 7" and "Libero" in regular league.

After receiving the best recognition in the V-League, he signed with AS Khan of the French league after the season and made his European debut. It was his first foray into the European leagues.

Then, he came back to Korea. This time, he will play in the uniform of copyright, the defending champion. Ahead of the start of the second half of the year, copyright broke up with Moradi Aref, a former Apogit Spiker, and announced the news of recruiting Ryohei.

As he did not play with his teammates from the beginning of the season, he did not display 100 percent of performance. However, he still displayed outstanding defense capabilities based on solid basic skills.

In the "Friendly" KEPCO match on the 17th, Ryohei showed stable defense and led the set score to a 3-1 victory.

"I recognized that we were close friends, but I didn't mind much," Ryohei said. "I met with KEPCO players and exchanged jokes lightly. Still, I think it was hard for them to know my strengths and weaknesses because I am a former member of the team." 메이저놀이터

Ryohei, who finished his life in Europe and wore a copyright uniform, looked slimmer than before. "That's right. I lost weight," Ryohei said. "I didn't eat well while living in Europe. I think I lost weight in that part."
I was so happy to see copyright's "love call" just in time. "I was so happy to see copyright offer to recruit me. There are so many great players, and I looked forward to it. I was curious how it would be if I could play with them since there are so many young Libero players. I didn't even think about it before coming here," he said with a smile.

As expected by Ryohei, life in copyright is satisfactory. "I think I am comfortable in my life. I enjoy eating, too. I am careful not to gain weight now," he said with a big smile.

copyright's Kang Seung-il, Song Min-geun and Park Ji-hoon were listed as Libero this season, but they didn't have much experience. Concerns continued. At the beginning of the season, Jung Ji-seok, who had an injury, was sent out to Libero, and Kwak Seung-seok later came forward.

Ryohei's recruitment was a stroke of genius that completely erased vulnerable positions. "He is really stable. I feel comfortable as a setter because I think I will get it somehow. I can imagine various plays in my head a little more, and I think he has the advantage of not making people nervous," Ryohei said.

Ryohei said, "I'm glad that you gave me a good evaluation. I want to practice a lot so that I can improve and grow a little more."

copyright, which currently has 13 wins, eight losses and 43 points, is 15 points behind Hyundai Capital (20 wins, two losses and 58 points), which is in second place. Recovering the top spot in the regular league is not an easy mission, but it is committed to chasing after him until the end.

The recruitment of Ryohei is expected to give another boost to copyright in the second half of the year. Ryohei also expressed his desire to win the title. "It's hard to talk about my individual performance in the middle of the season, but as a player with a team, I will aim to win the title," he stressed.
