We will pay for the use of young players/ Mousavi is our staff – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, in the fateful year of 1402, the Iranian national volleyball team participated in four important events of the League of Nations 2023 in the countries of Japan, Holland, America and Poland (June 16 to August 1), Asian men’s championship in Iran (August 27 to September 4). He participates in the Asian Games in China (September 28 to October 4) and the Olympic qualifiers in Brazil (October 8 to 16).
After training today (Wednesday, May 13th), Behrouz Atai said to the media: “We started training with high pressure on 27th of Farudin, and because we had informed the players about this in advance, we had an acceptable preparation.” They entered the camp. We continue in the same direction. The pressure and physical work is high and I hope this path will go well and we will reach the peak of the team’s preparation.
He added: We have started working as a group and we are ahead of our plans. During the camps, some players suffered minor injuries and they are undergoing medical treatment, and I hope they will be able to train in the coming days. The day before the match against Japan, we will play against the French national team.
Regarding the joining of the Polish coach to the national team’s technical staff, he explained: the contract of Pavel Mateusz Viski requires the supervision of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. The work was done and the visa of this coach was prepared. He will be available to the national team from Friday.
Atai said about the use of young players: the cycle of producing players in the volleyball federation continues and we see them in every season. I am interested in using young players, but in a period of 10 years, very few new players were added to the main team composition of the national team, and during this period, we started and finished most of the international competitions with eight players, but in the last league, we won the Nations League with 22 players. We tested and got an acceptable result. I believe that young players can help the national team and all the famous countries of the world are on this path, although it is a fact that the use of young players has its own reward. We pay this price so that the process of this production continues.
In response to the question why he did not agree to the presence of Hazratpour as a player of the Shahdab team to participate in the Asian Men’s Club Championship, while Mozen is apparently not injured, he said: “We put all the players of the Shahdab team at the disposal of their team and The absence of a player to be added to a team as an assistant. Last year, Pikan and Shahdab participated in the Asian Clubs Tournament, and seven days before the tournament, we provided the players to the teams. This year, from the beginning of the camp, the Shahdab players were at the disposal of their team, according to the information we received about Muzen’s injury and the invitation of three liberos, I could not reduce the number of liberos to one player. It was natural for me to disagree with this. In addition, the interval between the last game of Shahdab team and the start of the League of Nations is two weeks. If a player was injured, we could not use him and it was a big loss, but there was no other problem and we had the most cooperation with Shahdab Yazd.
Atai explained about the presence of Milad Ebadipour’s name in the list of 30 players present in the League of Nations: We have 30 players in the list of the League of Nations, and Milad requested not to be present and I agreed, but I told him that Milad might be used in the final stages. That’s why I didn’t risk it and put his name on the list.
In response to the question that he had a conversation with Seyed Mohammad Mousavi several times during training and it seems that he counted on this player’s help as a captain, he said: Mohammad Mousavi is definitely one of the great volleyball players of the country and anyway As a captain, he can be a crutch in the coach’s hand.
The head coach of Iran’s national volleyball team, referring to the replacement of Masafir and Chapperli, said: these players were not injured. We try to use the players we invited in training and achieve the goals we want. These two players had good training, but we decided to test other players as well.
Atai also said about the time when Berdia Saadat and Morteza Sharifi joined the national team: these two players will join the camp after the Turkish clubs’ matches.
In the end, he answered the question whether Akbar Mohammadi has a problem to get a visa or not? He said: The team leader has no problem and the task of visas will be determined in the future. Mustafa Karkhana will be with the team as a technical consultant in the League of Nations.
