I don’t believe in “gambling” in volleyball/ they easily passed the name of Ebadipour – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news



In an interview with Mehr reporter, Amir Khoshkhabar said about the conditions of volleyball: “Unfortunately, it has been a while since we heard good news about the national team, which is the showcase of volleyball in the country.” All behavior and results are highly exposed to public attention, we do not hear good news from this team. In the past, the national team was not without borders, it was possible for players to fight with players, or occasional crises would arise in the team.

He added: Anyway, a group of players were in the camp for a long time and there might be a difference, but what was important for all of us was to maintain the framework of the national team. The red line must be observed, otherwise any team may face a crisis, but the important thing was to solve these crises.

The national team was weak in solving crises

The former head of the national volleyball team said: I think the national team was weak in solving crises. An example of that was Milad Ebadipour. The first decision they made about this player should have been the last resort, but unfortunately we saw that they easily passed over a great player like Milad and left him out. In fact, they did not bother to solve the crisis. I think the national team was affected by these issues. The framework of the national team was not strong. While in the past, the national team had a framework that was impenetrable.

The framework and red line of the national team was not strong

Khoshkhabar said: The framework and red line of the national team was not very strong in these two years. The places that collapsed were rebuilt, but it was uneven and did not heal the pain from volleyball. The national team has sanctity because it receives the attention of a large group of people and media abroad, and we cannot easily auction its issues and witness its collapse. Because in the end, it caused the team to lose a lot of points and we fell in the ranking at this point in time. While other teams are collecting points bit by bit to have their chance for the Olympics.

I don’t believe gambling and VIP players in the camp

He mentioned about the gambling of the players and the presence of the player with VIP in the national team camp: In the past, these issues were not covered in the media in this way. I don’t really know the truth of this matter, but I doubt that a great player who has worked hard to make it to the national team would behave like this in the camp. I don’t believe these things because I haven’t seen them. In the past, these issues were our red line.

In the past, the privacy between the player and the technical staff was not violated

Khosh Khabar said: Even in the past, if there was any ambiguity, we would resolve the issues through the captain of the team so that the privacy between the players and the staff would not be violated. In no way did such issues enter the team and the players did not allow themselves to have these behaviors. Issues such as gambling or attending national team training with Vape are unbelievable to me. I don’t think a player would ever do these things if he wears unconventional clothes or has a vape in his hand. I do not believe these things.

The conditions of the national team for the experience volleyball federation were increased

He mentioned about the future of Iranian volleyball: I see the future of volleyball as bright. I think the conditions of the national team became a great experience for the volleyball federation. Refereeing is a skilled manager and Iranian volleyball can definitely return to its usual strength in the future. The recent successes of the grassroots teams also showed that a good generation is growing. But what everyone expects is that the conditions of the national team will change in the short term, and that is why the referee and his team are looking for a foreign head coach. The federation still has a glimpse of the low chance of the national team to participate in the Olympics, and that is why it is planning.

The illusion of antagonizing the staff made the situation difficult

The former manager of the national team said: The referee did not interfere in the technical issues of the teams and only provided them with the conditions. Of course, it might be better for him to get into the issues at times. The members of the technical committee and the board of directors approached the national team and gave more intellectual help. In these two years when the team was led by Atai, the federation provided all the conditions for the national team, but unfortunately some illusions and some issues did not allow the head coach to do his job. All the elements of the federation were in the service of the national team and implemented all the demands of Atai. But the illusion of making enemies and saying that someone did not allow me to work is not true.
