Happy news for Iranian volleyball/ Atai passes through Japan? – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, the men’s volleyball tournament of the 19th Asian Games will be held from September 28 to October 4 in Hangzhou, China, and Iran’s national volleyball team has started training to participate in this competition.
The national volleyball team led by Behrouz Atai participated in two important tournaments from the beginning of this year, and the performance of the national team in both matches caused dissatisfaction among volleyball fans and fans. In the League of Nations, the national volleyball team ended their work by placing in the 14th place and suffered a heavy defeat against the Japanese team. While Atai’s students presented very poor results, the Japanese were the surprise of the tournament and won the bronze medal of the League of Nations for the first time by placing in third place.
In the Asian Championship hosted by Urmia, the national volleyball team could not beat the old continent’s claimant team again and ended up as the runner-up with a heavy defeat of 3-0, and Japan stood on the championship platform in Iran. After winning the runner-up title in Asia, a wave of criticism was sent to Behrouz Atai and the volleyball federation, but the federation fully defended its head coach and thus Atai was retained as the head coach of the team.
Now, on the eve of the Asian Games, which is very important for the Iranian caravan, the national team is going to go to the field with all its strength to make up for the failures of the past two events, but the good news for Iranian volleyball is that the Japanese national volleyball team will participate in the Asian Games with its original composition. Hangzhou will not be present, and maybe this is a chance for Iran’s volleyball head coach to defeat the second Japanese team!
Considering that the Olympic qualifiers hosted by Brazil will be held four days after the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Japanese, in a principled plan, gave the opportunity to the “B” team to participate in the Asian Games in order to appear in the Olympic qualifiers with all their strength, but Iran’s national volleyball team will be sent to the Asian Games with the main composition, and after that it will have to go to Brazil immediately. Road fatigue and lack of recovery will definitely affect the performance of the players in this match.
