In an interview with IRNA reporter on Thursday, Mohammad Reza Eslami emphasized: In order to have a good and motivated team, the opportunity and opportunity should be provided for the youths to join the national team if they are qualified and work together with the experienced ones to improve the sport of basketball. Fortunately, in this period, the management of the federation and the national team have provided these conditions for the young players and they are looking for success with a double motivation.
He continued: “Accordingly, today we are witnessing that the Iranian national basketball team with its young players, along with the experienced players of the national team, has gone to Japan to play two friendly matches against them, although we had a long journey and it is only a few hours since we arrived at the venue of the match.” We have arrived, but the players held their first training session with double motivation.
Referring to the opportunity given to young players, the coach of Iran’s national basketball team said: “This is an ideal opportunity for young, talented and creative players who want to join the national team to prove their capabilities.” Not only basketball in Iran, but basketball everywhere in the world moves in the same style and context, which is taken very seriously and the technical staff of the national team always has technically and physically ready players so that they can pursue their goals.
Islami pointed out: We need to introduce a new generation to basketball and this happens all over the world. We need to plan the national team in such a way that we are always comfortable with replacing players and the generation change happens slowly but without problems. so that Iranian basketball always maintains its position.
It should be mentioned that Iran’s national basketball team, which went to Japan to hold two friendly games, had a weight training session on its agenda this morning, and will hold its training in the afternoon under the supervision of Saeed Armaghani. Tomorrow, the national team will train in order to be fully prepared against the Japanese national team on Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23.
