Iranian Volleyball Players Are Exhausted: Igor Kolakovic

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran national volleyball team coach Igor Kolakovic said his men are exhausted after a long tournament.

Iran lost to Poland 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-16) at the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup at Hiroshima Green Arena on Tuesday.

“First of all, congratulations to the Polish team for the silver medal and for this victory. It was a game in which we could learn a lot, because we played against one of the best - maybe in this moment the best team in the world, even though they took a silver medal here," Kolakovic said. 

“We are exhausted after this long tournament. Some young players are also so tired and that led to some special things in this game. Today, they had an opportunity to play against the best team in the world and they couldn’t give all of their energy to play until the end."

“I can understand this because some of them have some injury problems, some of them are without experience, and some of them were without such good preparation for this tournament. So I think this game is important because Poland could celebrate the silver medal,” he concluded.
