"Ahi is as responsible or encouraged as a captain as a Korean player."

Woori Card was led by a foreign player Ahi this season. This is the first time a foreign player is the captain. Ahi took his first step into the V-League through this season. He has the full trust of Mauricio Paes.
Ahi scored 37 points and had an attack success rate of 56.45 percent in the match against OK Savings Bank on Sunday. Ahi was responsible for the attack even though he lacked Asian quarterback Ali. Ahi has 156 points and attack success rate of 54.85 percent in six matches. His attack share stands at 37.64 percent.

He is ranked first in scoring, third in offense, and fourth in rear-end offense. "I'm glad that I got three points," he said after the game with OK Savings Bank. "I'm proud that all of my team members can participate in the game as much as possible. I will focus on the second round and move on."

Above all, Ahi talks and encourages with his teammates harder than anyone else on the court. "It is my belief to enjoy volleyball and I want to show it on the court. It is not because I am a captain, but because I am a foreign player, I have encouraged him since I was in Belgium," he said, stressing that he has always done so. 스포츠토토

Middle blocker Lee Sang-hyun, who came into the press conference together, said, "I think it's Ahi's strength to cheer up and let's do it when the atmosphere is cluttered or we don't get what we want," adding, "There is no big difference between being a domestic player and a foreign player, but Ahi seems to be as responsible or encouraging as a captain as other domestic players."

When Woori Card appointed foreign players as its vice-captain, veteran Lee Kang-won and Song Myung-keun were appointed as its vice-captain. "I think Ahi's personality comes first and communicates well with the coach," Song said. "Since Kangwon and I are good players, we talk about what Ahi should say first and ask again. We seem to respect each other in such communication as well. We have such a role to play, and we will take the initiative through Ahi."
