According to Mehr’s reporter, Azizullah Tabati, a wrestling expert, said about the quality level of the Azad Wrestling League: I wish the organizers of the Azad Wrestling League would have explained clearly what was the purpose of the wrestling league under these conditions, other than making money for the wrestlers? I believe that everything should be done purposefully; It means that every competition that is held must have a purpose behind it.
He emphasized: If one of the goals of holding the league is to provide financial benefits for the wrestlers, the second goal should be the technical achievement of this tournament for Iranian wrestling in the Olympic year. Currently, three weights in freestyle wrestling have not yet won the Olympic quota, and in the other three weights that we managed to win the Olympic quota, we did not have good conditions.
The Iranian league had only financial benefits for wrestlers, not technical
The freestyle wrestling expert said in an interview with Sports Radio: “The conditions are not good at all in the finals of 57 and 74 weights, while in these two weights we must win the Olympic quota, while Sarlak and Emami, the wrestlers of these two weights, lost against the Russians. they ate In my opinion, holding the league under these conditions does not help Iranian wrestling and has only brought money to the wrestlers and organizers of the league.
The Russians took good money and dictated their power to us
Tabehani emphasized: “League matches were not a technical achievement for Iranian wrestling, and we lost wrestling to the Russians.” In fact, the Russians earned good money from the ship and tested themselves technically and tactically and won the field. They warned us that if they are going to participate in the Olympics with this condition, don’t be too optimistic about getting a platform.
The ship officials are not responsible
The Iranian wrestling expert said: Unfortunately, none of the officials of the wrestling federation are accountable. In the World Championships, none of them gave an explanation for the results obtained. In this year’s league, apart from financial issues, technical goals should also be considered, especially since we are in the year leading up to the Olympics.
He said: The Russians have shown that since Gatsalov took over the leadership of this team, they have been on the path of progress. In the finals of the Iran Wrestling League, they showed us their technique, tactics and preparation in front of the eyes of thousands of viewers who were waiting for an equal fight, and on the other hand, they pocketed good money. In fact, the victory of the Russians was a serious warning for the Iranian ship, which I hope the officials of the ship will pay attention to.
All Iranian wrestlers regressed technically
Tetehani said: The members of the technical staff and Pejman should have closely followed the fight of the wrestlers in the seventh hall of Tir, they should have seen and analyzed the wrestling. All the wrestlers were technically, tactically and technically backward compared to the world. This shows that we are not paying attention to the first level wrestlers at all. These issues were all the facts that the wrestling league showed us.
He said: There is no time left until the Olympics in eight months and the wrestlers have to fight for medals, before that we have to get a quota in three weights, are the conditions for these two important goals smooth?! The officials of the ship should be responsible for many issues, but unfortunately there is no place where they can be responsible.
Iran Open Wrestling League was held between two teams
In response to the question of how the league should be organized in order to help the national team, Tedayani said: After financial issues, a technical goal should be determined for the league. Due to their financial strength, the two teams attracted all the first-class wrestlers, paid in dollars for the finals, and hired the Russians. Therefore, with these conditions, the league has been held between two teams, which unfortunately is not stable because these two teams may not be in the league next year.
He said: holding the league should improve the tactical and technical level of wrestlers. After the World Championships, the wrestling union reviews all the techniques and tactics and techniques of the wrestlers, which resulted in the wrestlers and the team’s strategy being changed. But unfortunately nothing happened in our teams.
The bylaws of the league organization must be changed
Tabehani said: Russians and Americans are progressing, but Iran’s wrestling, as one of the contenders in the league matches, showed that it has not done anything. Apart from money, technical issues should also be considered. The spectators of the wrestling finals yesterday showed by their presence that they are still interested in this sport, but in the end they were not happy because they only saw the defeat of the Iranian wrestlers. Who is responsible for these issues?! I hope the officials of the wrestling federation will follow this issue more seriously; The bylaws of the league organization should be changed so that the league will be held in a more serious way for next year.
