Mohammad Mousavi Praises Iran’s Fighting Spirit
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran middle blocker Mohammad Mousavi lauded fighting spirit of Team Melli.
Iran defeated Netherlands in straight sets (25-18, 25-23, 30-28) in 2021 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) on Sunday.
“We knew that Netherlands are a good team and at the VNL there are no weaker opponents. We have to give our maximum and push to gain victory,” Mousavi said in the post-match conference.
“We fought until the end for our country. With our National Team we always want to win big matches and fight hard for every point, like in this match. I'm happy about this victory. Our fighting spirit was a key to success,” he added.
“We struggled in reception and also in attack. In the first two sets we served very well and we managed to put the ball far from our opponent's setter and we played fast, but in the last set we stopped serving and it was a problem,” he concluded.
