It was Nejad’s spiritual right to be in the team/we should not sleep under the shadow of youth – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
In an interview with Mehr reporter, Farhad Nazari Afshar said about the defeat of the Iranian national volleyball team against the United States: In the first set against the United States, the players worked well and had a balanced game, and even if they had a little experience and luck, they could have won. Of course, the main weakness of the national team in the last few games was in receptions, when a good reception does not reach the passer, fast players also fail, in the game against America, the team’s problem was in the first reception and return balls. Right first and second, the main weakness of the team was in returning and receiving balls.
The players of the team were not fresh and our main problem is receiving
National player formerly Volleyball team Iran stated: One of the team’s problems in the game against America was the lack of freshness. Players play with stress and are afraid of the result and being judged; Unfortunately, this problem is in the technical staff and players clearly It can be seen, of course, maybe this feeling from the side technical staff Or virtual space is transferred to players, they should not be involved in these issues at all and only think about the quality of their game. Unfortunately, the return of players to the game is another problem of the team; When the players are a few points behind They are motivated They do not need to return and compensate for it. In the game against Italy, we were 4 points ahead But We could not finish the game; And when we are behind in points, we don’t have the necessary fight. I believe that these issues are the weakness of the national team.
A fair decision should be made in choosing the player
Afshar’s opinion in response to the main problem of the national team in receiving and also the strange decision technical staff In relation to the fouling, Mawani Nejad said: I think there are other issues involved in the selection of players, which makes a player who has won the Asia Cup and was one of the best in the clubs easily fouled. His game is one of the best players in Iran; Khanzadeh has the same situation and I am very happy that the young players of the national team have such a situation. But I believe that in selecting players for such an important match, we should act fairly and choose the right players by examining all aspects, and we should not allow other issues to get involved and think about the national goal. People are interested in volleyball and when the team doesn’t get results, they get upset about the losses. Meisham Salehi is far from ideal conditions due to his injury, of course, he will pass this period and come back to the field with full strength. But In my opinion, according to these conditions, it was Nejad’s spiritual right to be with the team; But again, the technical staff has an opinion and they must be accountable.
Talks about the youth of the team are repeated
He said: “People are happy with the results of the national teams and they are so persistent and fans of volleyball that they get upset with every defeat of the national team.” In my opinion, some talks that the team has become young are repeated talks; We have to build some infrastructure in volleyball, like the same period when Velasco led the national team and made improvements. Many events in volleyball should not be formal, but we should look for support by forming different teams.
Iranian volleyball fell behind even Asian teams
National player formerly Iranian volleyball stated that the goals of the staff should be determined from the change and transfer of players, and stated: American and Italian volleyball teams work with planning; That is, if they brought a player to the tournament, they played the same player and did not give the opportunity to other players; What is wrong with the national team’s technical staff? The purpose of changing and transferring players should be specified; If the goal of the technical staff is to gain experience in these competitions, this happened last year and the players gained experience. Iran’s position in the world ranking is very important this year. Rejuvenation should have taken place in the national team But In addition, we had to build support. We cannot be satisfied with the statement that the team is young, Iranian volleyball has distanced itself even from the Asian team like Japan and this has sounded the alarm.
Now is not the time to correct the mistakes of the players
Nazari Afshar commented on Iran’s game against the Netherlands: The Netherlands’ playing style is similar to the national team. Amin Ismailnejad leaves the national team, the team falls apart. If Amin catches a cold or is injured, which player will replace him? I hope that if there is any criticism, there will be a listening ear. There is definitely a lot of pressure on the technical staff and players now, and this stress causes mistakes to occur sometimes; But People who are out there can comment better, I hope these criticisms will be listened to. In these few days, I hear some talk that players’ faults should be corrected, if now is not the time and we have to protect the players’ morale. The reforms should have been made earlier and we already knew what tournament we were going to play in and we had to plan for it. It is clear which team worked in this period and which team did not.
