Seyed Mohammad Mousavi: The meeting with Thailand was more difficult than many other games – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to Mehr reporter from Hangzhou, Seyed Mohammad Mousavi said after the national volleyball team advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Games: “This game is more difficult for us who play than playing in front of the best teams of this tournament, and if we play with all our strength Do not play, something may happen and you will be surprised.

The Iranian national player continued: “In these games, we neglected only one set against Bahrain. It is difficult to play against a weaker team and have their motivation and play at 10 in the morning. I hope we will be successful in the next stage and win the gold medal.”

Regarding Iran’s possible opponent in the next round being Qatar, he said: “Whatever team comes, we must give 100% of our strength. We just need gold, and it gives us confidence before the Olympics.”

Mousavi said about the long trip to Brazil to participate in the world selection tournament: I am not very aware of the details of the flight, but we are in the air for about 28 hours. We have a 15-hour time difference and we have to live professionally and train well during this time. On the days of the games, we lift weights to keep our bodies at the peak of the Olympic selection, and the work is hard and we have a hard journey ahead of us. The first two games are very important and I hope we get there two days earlier.
