According to Mehr’s reporter, the elimination stage of the Asian Championship will start from today, Wednesday, and the national volleyball team of our country will face the Pakistan team at 19:15. In the group stage of the tournament, Atai’s students advanced as the top team after passing the teams of Iraq and Hong Kong. The Pakistan team also advanced as the second team with a victory against Bangladesh and a loss against South Korea.
Considering that the Iranian national volleyball team achieved an unexpected result in the League of Nations, in the upcoming competitions, Atai and his students are trying to make up for the failure in the League of Nations, and it seems that the Iranian team will have an easy time against Pakistan.
The main rival of Iran’s national volleyball team in this tournament is Japan, which advanced to the elimination stage as the first team. The Samurais have become one of the contenders for volleyball in the old continent and were also called the wonder of the League of Nations. This Asian team was able to reach the bronze medal of the League of Nations for the first time and now it is considered as a tough opponent for Iran.
Of course, Iran has a more difficult task to reach the finals of the Asian Championship than Japan. In the semi-final stage, Iran’s opponent will be one of the 4 teams of South Korea, Indonesia, China and India. In the first elimination round, the South Korean volleyball team will play against Indonesia, and China and India will face each other. The winner of these 2 games will play together and the winning team will be Iran’s opponent in the semi-final stage.
The Japanese team must face Bahrain in the first elimination stage, and it seems that Samurai have an easy job against this team and will win the field. After that, the Japanese team will have to face one of the four teams of Qatar, Thailand, Chinese Taipei and Iraq, and considering the level of Japanese volleyball, this team can easily reach the finals of the Asian Championship by passing their opponent.
