Iranian Young Players Showed Their Quality against Canada: Kolakovic
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran national volleyball team coach Igor Kolakovic says that the young players showed their quality in the match against Canada at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup on Friday.
Iran came from behind to beat Canada 3-1 (18-25, 25-23, 27-25, 25-19) at Nagano White Ring Arena.
“After two defeats this was a really important victory for us because our confidence was down a little bit. After the first set we started to play with our energy and I’m so happy because some players showed their quality, especially players from the bench and the young players who are really the future of Iranian volleyball. I hope that we can keep this kind of energy for the next games,” Kolakovic said after the match.
The Montenegrin coach praised Aliasghar Mojarad who led Iran with 15 points in this match.
“Mojarad is more of a blocker than an attacker. I’m not satisfied with his block, because he can be much better in the block, even though he made some points in attack. But he surprised me with his service, because he didn’t make as many mistakes as usual, and for that reason I am happy with his performance,” he added.
