His experience in the Polish league last season has led to his growth. He has sloping shoulders and impressive trapezius muscles.

MB1: Yuri Semenyuk

Ukraine

Born May 12, 1994 (31 years old)

94 points (61 attacks, 6 serves, 27 blocks)
Attack Effectiveness Rate: 51%

A Ukrainian big man ranked #1 in blocks. With his height, width, persistent blocks and powerful quickness, he is also the top middle blocker in the points rankings. In any case, even just sticking to the net, his presence and pressure are amazing. As the iron wall of Ukraine, he is supporting the team's good performance.

MB2: Agustin Rosell

Argentina
198cm
Born October 12, 1997 (27 years old)

80 points (55 attack, 3 serve, 22 block)
Attack Effectiveness Rate: 51%

Although he is small at just under 2m, he is a mobile middle player who makes up for his height with his outstanding athletic ability and scores a lot. His combination with setter Sanchez, who he has played with since their under-19 days, is a must-see. Since this year, he has been serving as captain and supporting the young team. At the Chiba tournament, keep an eye out for his teammate showdown with Ishikawa Yuki.
