The team is on their way to write miracles, but there are players who can't focus solely on volleyball. It is Ali Hagparast (22, Seoul Woori Card) of Iranian nationality.

Park Chul-woo (41), acting head coach of Woori Card, met with reporters ahead of the sixth round of the men's match between Incheon Korean Air and Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 6th and said, "(Aliga) seemed to be very worried. I think I check it through articles or SNS, but I'm not showing it mentally," he said.

This is an announcement that cannot be free from the recent chaos of the international situation. Based on the strong stance of U.S. President Donald Trump, concerns over war are growing as he has launched an offensive against Iran with Israel. In Iran, the supreme leader, Ali Hossein Khamenei, has died and many casualties have been caused.

Ali, an Iranian player, is also in a state of confusion. For now, the worst has been avoided. "I was worried a lot recently that bombs had fallen in the city, but my parents said there was no big problem because they were okay," he said.

This is Woori Card, which desperately needs Ali's concentration. Woori Card, which is cruising with 10 wins and 4 losses under acting coach Park Chul-woo, is aiming to advance to dramatic spring volleyball.

While winning five consecutive games, he left a regret by losing to Uijeongbu KB Insurance in the full set, and if he catches the leader Korean Air and takes three points, he will enter the spring volleyball qualification round by narrowing the gap between the third-place KB Insurance and Suwon KEPCO (49 points) with 50 points.

Acting Park Chul-woo said, "I think the opportunity came because KB Insurance lost to Hyundai Capital yesterday and the point gap did not widen," but added, "That doesn't mean it goes up, but the point gap narrows only when it wins." He will do his best today and the players will know well. Every game was like today. I'm going to do my best to concentrate on the game," he said.

Not only Kyle Russell but also Jung Ji-seok are showing explosive power. Acting Park said, "I want to make Araujo stick to the front of Jung Ji-seok as much as possible, but I think the order should fit well," adding, "Russell also has (Kim) Ji-han and Ali high, so I think I can play well." These days, Lim Dong-hyuk also has good form. Korean Air serves so well that how long the receiving line holds out will be important. We are trying to keep the existing (starting) members as much as possible, but depending on the situation, we are also thinking about how to turn one seat quickly," he said.

Korean Air coach Hennan Dal Zotto also has no time to spare. This is because Hyundai Capital, ranked second, is chasing under the chin by the first point with a victory the previous day. Coach Henan said, "There are still a lot of things that can happen in the future, and I think it's that time," adding, "The first thing to do is to win today. So I'll think about it later. As a new story unfolds in every game, I also sent a message to the players to focus more and just watch today's game," he explained.
