A rising star in the Belgian midfield. His weapons are broad attacks and blocks from a high hitting point, using his long arms to the fullest. As you can see from the photo, he is full of passion (lol). His club will be leaving Belgium next season and transferring to French champion Mulhouse.

Continuing with the Belgian representative. My volleyball friends also said that Belgium has a high rate of beautiful women. Her original position is outside hitter, but her performance as a scorer in VNL2021 was so amazing that I made her an opposite (lol). She is the overwhelming No. 1 in the best scorer rankings of this tournament, scoring a total of 314 points in 15 games. That's an average of more than 20 points per game (lol). The second place female player scored 250 points. The best male scorer, Nimir from the Netherlands, also scored 218 points, so you can see how amazing he is (but I feel like he's been overworked (lol)). He's not that tall at 182 cm, and he looks cute, but he's extremely powerful. He's already a member of the prestigious Italian club Novara, and contributed to the team's runner-up finish in the league last season. I have a feeling that he'll be an even more star player from now on. I wonder if he'll come to the V League. By the way, his dog on Instagram is cute (lol).
Setter: Britt Bongaarts (Netherlands)

The next generation of setters for the Netherlands. I've been secretly supporting him for a few years, but he hasn't had many opportunities to play because the Netherlands has a great setter named Dijkema. However, he played in most of the matches in the VNL2021 as a starter. Although he finished in 7th place, he gained valuable experience in preparation for the next Paris Olympics, including a straight win over Japan, who finished 4th. He played in Germany and Poland at his club, and will finally make his debut in the Italian Serie A next season. The growth of the Netherlands national team depends on this player. The alpacas are cute too.
