Poland Volleyball Coach Antiga Praises Iranian Fans

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Polish national volleyball team's coach Stephane Antiga lauded the Iranian fans attending the FIVB World League.

Poland lost to Iran in five sets 3-2 (25-21, 23-25, 21-25, 25-16, 15-11) Friday night.

“It is unbelievable here. We could not even communicate with each other and it is nice for volleyball,” Antiga said in the post-match news conference.

“I am disappointed especially with the first set. We had the opportunity to win. We made mistakes in our reception and spikes. I got the feeling that this game was in their control."

“We were playing very good; I think, better than Iran. Then, unfortunately, Iran played much better than us in the fifth set. We didn’t spike well. We were doing a good job serving, but we couldn’t stop their spikes," he noted.

“They spike well and it is logical that they won the set. Anyway. It was a tough game between Poland and Iran. I am sure we will play better on Sunday,” he added.
