“They put a lot of focus on defense and indeed you can see the results of that, because sometimes I spike over the block but their liberos are doing some crazy things and can get the most difficult balls. You also have to adjust a bit to a different style and speed, so I still have to find the right timing and chemistry with our setter, but things are improving day by day. They do a lot of exercises which they repeat a hundred times, like machines, and do not seem to get tired at all. The physical preparation, on the other hand, is almost in line with what we do in Europe because some other teams have Brazilian trainers who have brought their expertise whilst our guy spent some time in Australia,” Štokr admits that Asian volleyball is a lot different than European.
He also emphasized that European players like to compete against each other in Korean league, especially because the regulations there allow only one foreigner per team. And due to that, it is expected from them to be key players in offense.
“That is especially true for Grozer and sometimes it looks like he is almost the only player spiking in his team. And it is true: when two European or foreign players meet, they end up engaging in a duel on who scores the most points and we also try to block each other at the net, so it really feels like playing one against the other,” Czech giant said.
