"V-League competitiveness, made me want to play."

Before the start of the second half of the year, KB Insurance announced a move to replace its new coach Leonardo Aponso. It replaced Australian outside heater Max Staples with Bahrain outside heater Mohamed Yaqoob as a substitute.
Mohamed Yakub, a volleyball fan, has heard of this name at least once. Born in 1994 and measuring 187 centimeters tall, Jakub is a former member of the Bahraini national team, who was named the best outside heater of the 2022 Asian Volleyball Federation (AVC) Cup and the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup best outside heater. Notably, he failed Korea to advance to the finals by scoring 23 points in the match against Korea at the 3-4th place in the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup.

In addition to the Bahrain League, Jakub, who has played in the Saudi Arabian League for a while, will take on a new challenge in the V-League.

"The V-League is one of the strong leagues in Asia. As far as I know, I'm the first Bahrain player to make the V-League stage. I feel good because it's my first time," Akub said in an interview with a reporter on the 13th. "I'm not in a bad condition at the moment. However, there is a six-hour difference between Korea and Bahrain. If I adapt quickly to my sleep pattern, I think I'll be in better condition."

Why did you choose to challenge yourself to the V-League? "V-League competitiveness made me want to play," said Yakub, "I will try to gain experience and grow in Korea. I met the Korean national team in the third and fourth place match of the 2023 AVC Challenge Cup. It was a really difficult match, and the Korean players' teamwork was very good. I want to adapt quickly to the Korean league."

KB Insurance didn't see any impact in the Asian quarter. Last season, the team's first Asian quarter Rio Hongmin showed no impact with a success rate of 40.77 percent of 126 points in 32 games. Staples also failed to display notable performance as the team lost ground in injury and competition to become a starting member. It only had a success rate of 44.44 percent of 35 points in 13 games.

"My goal is not to specify a specific role, but to become a necessary player for my team," he said. "It's my first time in the V-League, but I'll have no regrets. I want to make good results with KB Insurance fans." 메이저사이트

Meanwhile, he changed his V-League registration name from Mohammed to Yakub. When asked why, he said, "I agonized over 'Yakub' because it was my father's name. However, I decided on 'Yakub' as my registration name because I thought the name could give more impact to fans of the V-League. As much as I play with my father's name on my uniform, I will do my best to show good performance."

While KB Insurance requested KOVO to announce its player registration on Friday, it is expected that Jacob's debut match will take place at the OK Savings Bank match to be held at the Kyungmin University Memorial Hall in Uijeongbu on Sunday. KB Insurance ranks third in the league with 31 points (11 wins and 9 losses). The team is fiercely chasing the top two teams with six consecutive wins, the most consecutive wins and ties since its foundation. Will Jakub be a big help to KB Insurance when it is looking at high places.
