Atai: Iran was a bit careless and unmotivated in the second set – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to Mehr News Agency, citing the Volleyball Federation, Iran’s national volleyball team faced Bahrain in its second match of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou and defeated this team 3-1 to advance to the next stage as the leader.

Behrouz Atai, the head coach of Iran’s national volleyball team, said about this match: In today’s match, two teams were trying to be the top group. For Bahrain, the game against Iran was very important, and we were also looking to end the result in our favor to advance to the next stage as the leader of the group. In the first two sets, Iranian players played very authoritatively, but in the third set, they underestimated their opponent and despite being ahead of Bahrain in points, they did not finish this set well due to lack of accuracy and lack of motivation, although they started with determination in the fourth set. And they won.

Emphasizing that throughout the match, Iran dominated the game more than the opponent, he said: We have prepared ourselves for tomorrow’s match against Thailand. During the match, I also used Pouria Hossein Khanzadeh, Mehdi Jaloh and Javad Karimi so that most of the players were in the game, their preparation was maintained and their status was recorded.

In the end, Atai noted: Tomorrow’s match against Thailand is an elimination match and I hope it will be a good match. Thailand is an acceptable team and had a win in the previous round and lost 3-1 against Qatar. He also had a good game in Urmia. We hope that the national team will play a good game tomorrow and leave the field successfully.
