According to Mehr reporter, the men’s volleyball tournament of the 19th Asian Games will be held in the city from 28 September to 4 September Hangzhou It will be held in China. Iranian national volleyball team on the morning of Friday 24 Shahrivar to Tehran Hangzhou leaves to go to the field for the third consecutive championship in their 11th appearance in these games.
Mohammadreza Davarzani, head of the volleyball federation, along with Vahid Moradi, the vice-chairman, attended the training of the national team this morning.
At the beginning of training, the referee said to the national team: “Don’t be tired, I tell you.” You had a difficult year and you went through a lot of pressure. 7 or 8 teams are fighting to get Olympic quota. We Part of We are 4 teams that are seriously fighting for the Olympics. The Cubans are fighting to catch up with us. I know you all have the motivation to become an Olympian.
He said: “The Asian Games do not affect our ranking, but they are important in terms of the prestige and credibility of Iranian volleyball and sports.” God willing, we can get good results in Brazil as well.
The head of the volleyball federation emphasized: “It is not impossible to get a quota for the Olympics, although we do not have a 100% chance.” There is no pressure on you to get a quota at this stage, but it is important to maintain the ranking in order to be in good condition.
He continued: 12 Nations League games next year are also important and you have the most motivation for the Paris Olympics. I hope you get through these 2 events with good health, I also thank Atai, who works despite the great pressure of cyber space, media and public opinion.
The referee noted: You yourself have raised expectations and your responsibility has become heavy. I myself say that Seyed Mousavi trained with a broken finger and bruised joint because he is motivated. You all proved to be among the best.
Referee Mohammad Reza Davarzani said in a gathering of reporters about registering for the Women’s Volleyball Federation elections: “My serious concern is the Asian Olympic Games.” I am investigating the state of entry into the volleyball federation elections, but I have not reached a conclusion yet, but the point raised is that the internal rules and statutes are a different matter. We have interacted with the Ministry of Sports and tried not to challenge this decision of Ramanger. We hope that with the decision that the parliament will make and seen in the seventh program, the sports of the country will be able to use different capacities.
He emphasized: The issue that has been discussed in the parliament for the past year should be a good change in the sports of our country. Federations, as defined in developed countries, are not considered jobs and are considered a position. The heads of federations of advanced countries are those who bring resources when they come. to make the federation small and weak; Not on the right track.
The president of the volleyball federation said: “What is happening now in the parliament is good and it should be approved in the floor.” I have not yet reached the conclusion for registration. Let’s see what happens on Sunday, but this removal of the restriction is a good thing. It is good that the Olympics will be transferred to the Olympics, and Iran’s sports will be given a good opportunity to work. However, it goes back to the interaction between the federation and the ministry and we listen to the minister’s decision.
A referee said about the difference between football and other sports: Because I am in charge of volleyball, I will not talk about myself, but we are the first in group sports in our country by a long distance. We are all sad that we became runners-up in the Asian Championship, but this is the value for us. The runner-up has been defeated for us, but let’s go back; What did we expect 15 years ago? These expectations of the federation have created, which discipline has become the world champion in the foundations? We are among the best teams in the world and should be among the top 4 teams in the world and among the best Olympic teams. I repeat and I believe that this is the capacity of our youth, but we must fight and strive for it. The will of the country should be for this to happen because we have the capacity.
He said: “Sports is not only football, we respect all disciplines, but in terms of scope, we are the first in the country.” 600 million viewers in the League of Nations is not a small number. They cannot censor us; If the government and parliament look at volleyball as much as they do, we will be among the top 4 teams in the world. We are helped as much as a normal federation, not as much as volleyball.
The head of the volleyball federation said: People expect to win from volleyball and it doesn’t matter what team is playing in front of us. We need serious support. Now we determine 86% of the financial resources ourselves and 14% is provided by the government. We return the same to the government as taxes. We need serious support in the country. A few days ago, we had the championship match of the coastal country, which we said to broadcast live, but it required financial payment. Now we are negotiating to broadcast the Olympic selection on radio and television! Of course, the national media helped, but we expect not to worry about this issue and the infrastructure.
The referee stated: Our only hall infrastructure is this 12 thousand people with a capacity of 6 thousand seats. We are looking to host the world championships and this claim is true. We have to update the infrastructure and we don’t have to pay rent for the hall. We don’t need government help in our obvious needs, but we need help in infrastructure.
In response to the prediction of the National Olympic Committee, which has considered the silver medal for the national volleyball team, he said: Based on the results of Urmia, friends have predicted silver in the Asian Games, but we are going to China for gold and a hat-trick of championships. It is important for the second Japanese team to come, but we have good conditions now. The most pressure has come on the players and they have done the best. I think that by winning the games and going to the Olympics, the children will show people that our volleyball is the same.
The head of the volleyball federation said about business class tickets from Hangzhou to Brazil: We could not get business class tickets from Hangzhou to Brazil for all the children. Maybe 10 times what the government has given, we have provided resources. The collection of public opinion is made by the media, and if the government and parliament’s view of volleyball is serious and common, we will do our work more easily. We don’t need the government’s help for executive programs; The infrastructures for the development of volleyball need support to improve this situation which has upset the government men. Is the Japanese government’s view of volleyball the same as ours? We need this good thing to happen in Iran because we deserve it and we have to show it to the world.
In response to Mehr’s reporter, the referee said about the poor performance of women in the Asian Championship: Our general policy is to strengthen and support women. Last year, we had a significant percentage of resources paid to women. We did not have a number of players due to injuries this year, but we should use a more prepared generation for the future. The conditions of confrontation between the good teams of the world and our women’s national team are not the same, and if they are equal, we do not have much difference. However, our girls are fighting and moving forward with all their strength. In the future, we will invest in basic categories. We also have plans to attract foreign coaches.
