Factory: League of Nations is more different than before/the team should be given time – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
In an interview with Mehr’s reporter, Mustafa Karna said about the performance of the Iranian national volleyball team in the first week of the League of Volleyball Nations: The players worked hard, we also know the weak points of the team, but the team will definitely perform better in the second week. Unfortunately, the national team entered the field with the least amount of preparatory matches and this made the work difficult. If we had more preparatory games, the technical staff could get to know the players better. If we put the performance of the national team on the graph, it is clear that we progressed game by game and the players were better and more fluent on the field in each game than the previous game. The team may not have performed well in terms of results, but we played with teams that are all among the best.
The technical advisor of the national team stated: We don’t have some experienced players in the team and there has been a generational change in the national team, so the people and volleyball fans should be a little patient. Atai is Mazloumi’s coach; He participated in this sensitive tournament with young players, didn’t experienced players like Mousavi, Ghafoor, Maruf, etc. play well from the beginning?! They gradually gained experience until they reached this stage. Therefore, young players should be given a chance to find themselves.
By stating that the League of Nations is more different than the previous periods; He stated: In this period, due to the global ranking and proximity to the Olympics, the games are followed with great sensitivity. But we must not forget that our team is young and we need time for the players to believe in themselves more. A mental recovery has been done by the technical staff, the players and the technical staff need support and support and the people have to wait.
The technical advisor of the national team said about Iran’s opponents in the second week of the competition: Iranian volleyball has a long way to go and is on a difficult path. Defeats should not hinder our team’s progress and we should trust this team because both the staff and the players themselves know what they are doing. In the second week, our work is much more difficult; We have to compete with strong teams like the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and the United States, all of which are among the top teams in the world, but volleyball players have repeatedly shown that they will get results in better conditions.
In response to the question of whether there will be any changes in the second week and what are the conditions of the injured players, he said: We will probably have a change in the team composition. Maysam Salehi and Falah, who were injured, are training with the team and we have to see how their conditions will be.
