The South Korean men's volleyball team, led by head coach Isanaye Ramirez, recorded 1-1 defeat in the warm-up match against the Netherlands at Cheonan Yu Gwan-sun Gymnasium on the 6th and 7th. It was the national team that saw its potential toward the future as it achieved its desired results in a friendly match against a European powerhouse prepared by the Korea Volleyball Association to revive the international competitiveness of Korean volleyball, which has fallen.
The Netherlands is a strong team that ranks 13th in the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB). It also has experience in winning gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Players are also attractive in person. Mihil Ahi, who served as captain of Woori Card last season and will join Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance this year, and Benny Tunstra, who is known as one of the best strikers in Europe by ranking No. 1 in Dutch attack share in the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Nations League. This is why Ramirez's team was expected to have a difficult match.
I got through it brilliantly. On the 6th, the first game was defeated by a set score of 1-3, reducing the gap in skills, but it was immediately returned to a 3-1 victory on the 7th. It overcame the inferiority in the center, which it exposed in the first game, and the triangular formation of Heo Soo-bong (Hyundai Capital), Kim Ji-han (Woori Card) and Lim Dong-hyuk (National Military Sports Unit) exploded evenly.
He overcame the evil spirit of injury. The team, which had been participating in the training for early days, lost both its main setter Hwang Taek-ui and out seed heater Lim Sung-jin and Na Kyung-bok (KB Insurance) duo. Their shoulders, knees and wrists are not in normal condition, respectively. Jung Ji-seok (copyright) was already suffering from a broken shin due to fatigue. Ramirez, who overcame the negative factor of losing all four of his key cards at the exhibition match, looked forward to positive factors and smiled brightly.
All that remains is for the men's team to advance. Since the VNL demotion in 2018, the men's team has yet to present its business card to major international competitions such as the Olympics. The team even humbled to win a medal in 61 years at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games (to be held one year later). "Young players have gathered due to generational change in the national team. It is time to show the results. This season has to be different," Huh Soo-bong, the MVP of the V-League's men's team, said ahead of this year's international competition.
With the desperation of restoring the honor, opportunities come. The 2025 Asian Volleyball Federation (AVC) Cup of Nations will be held in Bahrain starting from the 17th. In September, he will make his first appearance at the World Championships in the Philippines in 11 years. This is because the World Championships took the last train of luck, increasing the number of participating countries by 32. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he should gradually increase his world ranking and recover his competitiveness on the international stage.
Ramirez is aiming to win the Nations Cup title against Bahrain, Qatar, Pakistan, and Australia. Although he ranked third in the championship last year, he is committed to reap the fruits that he wants based on his growth. "I regret losing to Pakistan (in the semifinals) last year, but I want to win this year. I can do it enough," the coach said.
