copyright is the best team that dominates the men's team in the V-League. It has become the first team to win four consecutive championships from the 2020-2021 season to the 2023-2024 season. It has surpassed Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance Co.'s previous championship title of three consecutive championships. Until then, copyright had only won one championship game (2017-2018 season), but now it is the best prestigious team.메이저놀이터
At the center of it is the Finnish head of the team, head coach Tommy Tilikainen. Taking the helm of copyright from the 2021-2022 season following former coach Roberto Santilli, he has led the past three integrated wins by deploying his own unique leadership in the V-League. He is a young coach born in 1987, younger than his team members Han player or Yoo Kwang-woo, but his charisma on the court is comparable to anyone.
His outstanding results have opened a new chapter in the V-League. Masayoshi Ogino (Japan) took the helm of OK Savings Bank last season, and three more "foreign coaches" will be added this season, bringing a total of five foreign coaches to the men's division of the V-League.
Coach Tilikainen said, "As the number of matchups for foreign coaches increases, the league has become very interesting personally," adding, "It's really interesting to see how the new coaches change the team. I hope it will help increase the competitiveness of the V-League and Korean volleyball in the long run."
As he is a leading player in the trend, his feelings are unique. "The club wanted volleyball that was different from what it used to be, and it matched my style. I am happy to be a leader in Korea," he said, recalling the moment when he joined hands with copyright. "More foreign coaches are also a great experience for me. At the same time, I feel a great sense of responsibility to do better."
What is the most difficult part about a coach working in another country? "Communication is the most difficult part because there is no common language. However, I have been with copyright for a long time and have created my own language on volleyball courts, and I will continue to do so. I have come to the level where I can naturally understand each other," he said with a smile.
Looking back on the past time, "It takes time to get used to coaching in other cultures," he said, "The most difficult yet important thing is to 'sell' ideas to teams. We have to constantly find ideas that players want to buy and accept. That's how everyone believes they are doing the right thing toward their goals."
Lastly, he said, "The new coaches are clearly showing their ideas on the court. It's very useful for me and the players and the entire league to have a lot of new ways of thinking about volleyball," and expressed his hope, "I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I hope it works in a positive way for Korean volleyball."
