Head coach of the French basketball team: “Haddadi” plays amazingly at the age of 36
According to IRNA, “Vincent Cole” said in a press conference after the match against Iran on Saturday: “I am happy that we passed this stage of the competition with a good performance.” In fact, we went through the first week in good condition and now all our focus is on the quarter-final stage.
He continued: “We had the chance to play very well, but we do not ignore the fact that our defense was under pressure.
The head coach of the French national team, in response to a reporter’s question about the performance of the Iranian team in this game and compared to the previous two games, said: Iran played well against us. Especially Hamed Haddadi who is a great player. Haddadi is 36 years old and plays great at this age. Overall, the Iranian team did well, although three games are not enough to fully analyze a team.
“It is natural that there is a difference between Iran and the United States,” Koleh said, referring to Iran’s second game against the United States. But the United States was not against Iran as usual, not because they were worried about the Iranian national team, but because they were stressed and worried about the game against us.
The head coach of the French national basketball team also referred to the first game of Iran and stated: in the game with the Czech Republic, he did his best. Note that this is the Olympics, and three games is not the right measure of a team’s performance. Iran is one of the best in Asia.
Reacting to Arsalan Kazemi’s words that France is the main chance to win, Koleh said: “It is too early to think about the end of this tournament.” We have three days to face an opponent whose team I do not know at the moment. We are currently facing the quarter-final stage and only this game that is ahead of us is important. From now on, we have no more than two choices. Or go home; Or to win and stay in the Olympics.
