The Iranian head coach of the country's volleyball team: participation in the Asian Club Cup was the best training class
The head coach of our country's Com Air team, who is participating in the Asia Club Cup volleyball tournament in Yazd, said in a conversation with the media: "Participating in this competition was the best training session for the inexperienced players of the Afghanistan team."

On Saturday, Hamid Mohadi stated that the players of the Afghan team did not have the experience of participating in international competitions and added: "It has been a month since we formed the Afghan team by testing the players. Unfortunately, due to the lack of facilities, we could not get the results we should have; even In training, we used old balls.

Stating that we entered this tournament without a preparatory game, he continued: We performed well in this tournament compared to the little experience the team had. We are trying to get better results in the next competitions in Central Asia by gaining experience in these competitions.

Regarding the continuation of the cooperation with the Afghanistan Cam Air team, Mohadi said: The players are talented, they just need more training and experience.

He added: On the third day of the Asian Club Cup volleyball tournament, we managed to defeat the Iraqi team 3-0, which was far from the expectations of many. In the quarter final stage against Kazakhstan, it was a life and death game, the sensitivity and stress of the game did not allow our less experienced kids to overcome their stress and show their main performance.

He said: The teams present in this tournament are very strong and the level of the tournament is very high. Also, two Iranian teams, Shahdab Yazd and Folad Sirjan, are playing a great game, and other teams have strengthened their teams with foreign players. In any case, we are happy. We participated in these games because it is the best training class for our team.
