I was surprised by Manaf Hashemi’s words
In response to Mehr reporter’s question about the talks Manaf Hashemi, the secretary of the National Olympic Committee, stating that the referee is a member board It is executive But He did not talk about the problems of volleyball, he said: We had consultations with the National Committee and the Ministry of Sports But Me too when you talk Manaf I was surprised when I read Hashemi. The problem of volleyball cannot be solved with 1 billion and 2 billion. I can’t put all my energy into trying to convince the National Olympic Committee to help volleyball. Our main discussion is the help of parliament and government to volleyball. I believe that we should not compare sports with each other. We By no means We do not have a position on helping other disciplines. But I believe that the government and parliament should take a more serious look at volleyball.
Volleyball does not depend on the player and the boss
The head of the volleyball federation said about the Iranian volleyball stars turning their backs on the national team: I don’t believe that these players have turned their backs on the national team. Anyway, all the players worked hard for the national team. Volleyball is on a path that should continue. This development path goes forward without referees or without players, and this discipline does not need a boss or players. We cannot lower people’s expectations from volleyball. From the beginning, when I came to the federation, the goal was and should be long-term planning According to Let’s go ahead. This field is on the path of growth and fortunately, it has never been dependent on anyone.
We need a sponsor that is not dependent on the government
The referee mentioned about attracting a sponsor: Iranian volleyball needs a sponsor that does not need the government and can help us. Currency fluctuations have become a problem for sending teams, and that’s why we are thinking of attracting an external sponsor so that we can have a dollar contract. The federation is not idle to attract sponsors. The success of volleyball in the last 15 years has been the winning card of the Islamic Republic, in the meantime, some are looking for marginalization for this team, but we do not pay attention to the margins of the opposition networks.
We have high hopes for the under-16 women’s team
The head of the volleyball federation emphasized on setting goals for women’s volleyball: I think the turning point for men’s volleyball happened when they made it to the League of Nations. In the case of women, we must try to get to the League of Nations, it is definitely a very difficult task. But Our goal setting for women is the same, I am a professional sports manager and I work to make people happy. Fortunately, with the connections we had, the help of the World Federation is open for women, we are very hopeful for the under-16 women’s team, we have planned camps for them to be on the path of growth.
Premier League teams are no different for us
The referee also said about the Premier League of Volleyball: All Premier League teams have the same conditions for the Federation. Shahdab Yazd team won the league and should have been strengthened in Asian clubs. None of the teams are different for us. In the past, he was the head coach of a foreign national team and did not manage a team in the Premier League. But In the last two years, when Atai is the coach of the national team, the conditions have changed and he is managing the same team in the league. It is normal for a coach to have a contract with one club and sign a contract with another team for the new season.
Some domestic players compare their salary with legionnaires
He said about the ceiling of player contracts and the high cost of having a team in the Premier League: We have to balance supply and demand in the league. There are some expensive players in the world. Some positions are key for clubs and club managers are willing to pay a lot for these players. Some players also play abroad, unfortunately some domestic players compare themselves with them.
Maybe the premier league will be held with 12 teams
The referee added: In such a situation, we are obliged to reconsider the number of Premier League teams. Even this year, I have told the officials of the league to hold the league with 12 teams if possible. In fact, the role of the federation is a moderator. We must balance supply and demand so that these problems do not arise. Regarding the playoffs, the clubs themselves decided and signed. I agree that we need to fix the weaknesses of the league.
Sometimes the margins in the Premier League start from the bench of the teams
The head of the volleyball federation also said about the inappropriate behavior of some spectators in the Premier League matches: Unfortunately, many of the incidents start from the sidelines of the teams’ benches. The coach wants to get results with the force of the audience. Therefore, we must revise the rules of the disciplinary committee so that the clubs are obliged to answer for the behavior of the spectators.
The National Olympic Committee promised a business flight
He stated that the National Olympic Committee has promised a business flight for the national volleyball players, and said: Considering the distance from China to the Olympic qualifiers held in Brazil, and only 4 days between these two tournaments, the Olympic Committee has made this promise. It has given us that national players travel from China to Brazil by business flight to have a chance to recover.
Winning the Asian Games will help the soldier players
The head of the volleyball federation responded to the question, “Wouldn’t it be better if another team participated in the Hangzhou Asian Games this year, considering the intensity of the volleyball competitions?” He said: Volleyball in the Asian Games 2014 And 2018 He won a gold medal. According to these conditions, the expectation of the people is definitely to win the third gold medal. In addition, we have some soldiers in the team and winning the championship in this tournament can help them to win the championship. After the Asian Games, the technical staff will decide on the Olympic qualifiers. We have a very hard job in these competitions But Our goal is to get points, because in October, the task of getting the Olympic quota will be determined, and 4 teams with high rankings can go to the Olympics. Therefore, we must participate in all tournaments, especially the Asian Championship, and gain points to improve the ranking or maintain the same position.
My four-year course will end in November
The president of the volleyball federation emphasized about the end of his four-year term in the federation and also the discussion of his retirement: My four-year term will end in November of this year, according to the international statutes, I can still be present in the federation because the retirement age according to the international federation statutes is 75 years. Is, But Our internal laws set the age of 65 for retirement, which I am subject to these laws and we are not looking to challenge it. We are looking to interact with the Ministry of Sports and the National Olympic Committee But This issue is not the sole responsibility of the ministry and the government should also help.
The new management generation should be added to volleyball
Stating that he is interested in adding a new generation to Iranian volleyball, the referee said: I would like to provide the path for the new generation so that volleyball is on track. I believe that volleyball does not depend on a particular person. As the generational change happens in national teams, this should also happen in the management and executive body. No one is willing to uproot the strong tree that he built, it is natural that we all want the success of volleyball to continue. But We have young managers who can serve in volleyball.
According to the constitution of the world federation, I can stay in the federation
In response to the fact that he was not in volleyball for two years and strange things happened to this discipline, he said: What happened in the two years that I was not in volleyball is a subject to be considered and there is no place to discuss it. But We have a universal constitution that I have no problem staying under. According to the constitution of the assembly, the type of election and the people who participate are clearly defined. But On the other hand, based on regulatory institutions, federations are among public institutions and are considered executive institutions. Therefore, if the Parliament or other institutions approve the constitution of the World Volleyball Federation, I have no problem continuing the work, like what happened to the Football Federation.
I do not intend to try to stay in the federation
The referee emphasized: But I don’t want to get the impression that I am trying to stay in the federation, I will continue working as long as I am and I will also register for the presidency of the federation. But If the conditions for my stay are not provided By no means I will not go to international institutions. All countries are required to comply with the constitution of their world federations But We do not intend to enter the challenge.
I follow the legal way
The head of the volleyball federation emphasized: If the federations are removed from the list of public institutions and considered independent, I can continue my work in the federation. But If this does not happen, we should not challenge the country. We follow the legal way. As long as federations are public bodies in our laws, we are bound by the laws. The solution of this issue is not in the hands of the Ministry and the National Olympic Committee.
