Japan Volleyball Coach Yuichi Unhappy about Loss against Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Japan volleyball coach Nakagaichi Yuichi is unhappy about the team's loss against Iran in the 2019 Volleyball Nations League Week 2.
Japan lost to Iran in straight sets (25-22, 25-21, 25-19) at the Musashino Forest Sport Plaza in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday.
"As we will play Iran in the future tournaments including the World Cup, we were eager to win the game. I would say Iran is one of our big rivals in Asia. With Iran lacking two players due to injury, I thought that there was chance for us to win. However, we lost very easily,” Yuichi said in the post-match news conference.
“There were no scenes in the game where we were in the lead. Iran has gotten better than before especially with their serve receives, therefore we could not break them down with our serves," he added.
The 2019 FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League is the second edition of the FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League, an annual international men's volleyball tournament contested by 16 national teams.
