Iran's Volleyball to Fight for Victories in Chicago: Igor Kolakovic
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran national volleyball team coach Igor Kolakovic says they will fight for victories in the final round of the 2019 FIVB Men’s Volleyball Nations League in Chicago.
Iran lost to USA 3-0 (27-25, 25-21, 25-20) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria Sunday evening.
“USA was much better than us especially in service. Congratulations to them, however I am happy because nobody else got injured in such a competitive and close match,” Kolakovic said.
“At the moment we have four injured players who have to recover for the Finals in Chicago. We are going there to fight for victories, match by match and we will see what is going to happen,” he added.
Iran player Milad Ebadipour also said that Team Melli will participate in the final round for winning a medal.
“We didn’t play our best game against USA but it was a good training for us. The most important thing is to achieve victories in the Finals. We had brilliant performances in the tournament so far and we proved that we are one of the best teams in the world. But it is not enough for us” Ebadipour said.
“We have to show the same during the Final Six in Chicago. We have a big chance to take the gold there or at least a medal but we are going there to fight and to play and win game by game,” he added.
