Fallah: Qasimpour is not Superman and had an unequal battle with Snyder/ we could have become a hero with a better elbow

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Akbar Fallah said about the performance of the national freestyle wrestling team in the World Cup: We must consider that the World Cup is different from the Olympics and the World Championship, and the teams are looking at a not so important preparatory competition. They look at it. The fact that we used our younger players in these competitions is a beautiful thing and we gave them a field to show themselves. The more these younger players participate in the competitions, the better support they are for the national team. In general, the combination of younger and experienced players was a good thing and the kids wrestled well in their own way. In my opinion, the younger ones gained good experience from these competitions.

He said about the defeat of Jordan Burrows in this competition for the first time by an Iranian: We always had a tough competition with the Americans in wrestling and they also have good players. Swadekohi also wrestled well, but we still had to beat Jordan Burrows, 34, 35 years old. Anyway, he is old enough, we should not wait for him to fail himself. It would be bad if we didn’t defeat him.

The wrestling expert said about Kamran Qasempour’s defeat against Snyder: “I think that the arrangement made by the national team’s staff was wrong about Kamran.” He should have wrestled at the same weight of 92 kilos. This was a war of inequality. Our wrestler also wrestled in the 85 league. Maybe if he wrestled at 92 kilos, he could have won and we would have more chances to win the championship.

Regarding why you think this decision was made, Fallah said: I think the staff had the idea that Qasimpour could win in 97 kg. Maybe they think that Kamran is Superman!

In the end, he said: I emphasize again that younger players should be given a chance, even if they don’t get results. In my opinion, if we go to Asia with these kids, we can prepare them for the important competitions of the World Championship and the Olympics.
