Volleyball coach: The federation should not rush to choose the head coach of the national team – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news


In an interview with Mehr reporter, Abdolreza Alizadeh, the head coach of Urmia municipality, said about the situation of the Urmia municipality team in the Premier Volleyball League: “From the day I was entrusted with the leadership of the Urmia municipality team, I promised to change the conditions of the team, thank God, this happened.” In the return round, the team improved game by game. In the game against Giti Pashand, we played badly and lost due to the injury of several players, but in the game against Horsan Ramsar, the players made up for the previous defeat with all their efforts.

He said: “In the game against Horsan, we had good receptions and services, and these two factors made us win.” Thank God, the situation changed a lot in the second round and all the players sympathized with each other to get a better result. The players are also tactical and we have considered good training for them. Thank God we got a good result with these conditions and I hope it will continue.

The head coach of the Urmia municipal team said about the quality of the premier league: the quality of the premier league this year is relatively good, young players are playing in the teams and volleyball is changing generations, but they are raising the quality of the league behind the women’s line, but four behind the line Iran’s volleyball women are not playing in the league this year, definitely if these players and the legionnaires played in the league, the quality would be much better than this. However, compared to previous years, I felt that the quality of the league has decreased, but with the young players who play in the teams, the situation is a little different and it is going well.

Alizadeh also pointed to the decision of the league organization and holding two out of three matches in the playoff final and said: In the past few years, the playoff stage is held as two out of three matches, and only one or two years it was held as a single match. In my opinion, holding two out of three matches is acceptable, because maybe in a single game there will be a question of luck and the right will not be awarded, but when two out of three matches are held, we will no longer see lucky events.

The head coach of the Urmia municipal team emphasized: I think that the long league until April 1403 is a very good thing, most of the players are involved in the league matches. Players in all age groups and even teenagers and young people play in the league and this makes them ready and helps the national teams a lot.

He said about the conditions of the national volleyball team and the uncertainty in the selection of the head coach: “The situation in the national team has become very difficult. I was with Atai at one point, and unfortunately a series of incidents happened that I do not intend to enter into, but Atai was not to blame for all the incidents.” And the truth must be told. The duties of the head volleyball coach must be determined so that the team can reach its peak days again. People live sports and react to the team’s wins and losses. We should not rush and choose a great coach.

The head coach of Urmia municipality said: The officials of the federation should not rush and not make a decision at any point. The best coach should be chosen who will also be in ideal condition for at least 10 years. Of course, some people believe that time has been lost, but if the head coach is chosen today, will the national team camp be held to say that we have lost time? The head coach of the team will definitely not hold a camp until the end of the league, so it will not cause a problem if this happens in another month.

Alizadeh emphasized: Of course, the Ministry of Sports should pay more attention to the volleyball federation and help them with the costs of hiring a head coach. It is necessary to pay for players and coaches and provide them with facilities. It is true that the players are soldiers of the country and are at the disposal of the national team, but we cannot expect them to be empty-handed. Now, the federation should provide the coach and players with the right facilities to get a good result.

Regarding the match against Ifasram Ardakan, he said: Today we have a match with Ifasram Ardakan in Urmia, Ifasram is a good team and is currently in the third place, it has been in the Premier League since last year and has good players. But the conditions are different in Urmia and I hope we can play a good game with the help of the fans.

Alizadeh responded to Mousavi’s criticisms regarding the long duration of the league until April 1403, saying: Mousavi is a great player and is the captain of the national team. But in my opinion, when a player rests for 15 to 20 days after the league, he gets away from the preparation and needs to train again in three months to reach the peak of preparation. Therefore, holding games in Nowruz and participating in league matches is beneficial for all players.
