Lost to France in straight sets. No surprise there

They lost to the Germans and finished 15th out of 16 teams, lol. we now have to rebuild around this team for next year. We need a good coach.

Our U20 team won the Asian Championship handily.

Who cares? They won every young title and shit in the bed in senior team

Would you rather we have no good young players?

What matters is that the conveyer belt continue to work.

These are not low level players. They just need some elite mental work at the senior level.

Teams like China and Japan literally say our dream was to have players like yours (physically).

It's the same problem our successful u17 football team have, they fall in a black hole after. If we don't solve the senior and youth/senior transition problems, all these youth title will be useless

Volleyball is different.
We have consistently good performances at all youth levels including world champiionships.

Remember in volleyball our expectations are to compete with the very best.

Whereas in football, we just want to be there and beat the B teams.

we just can't figure out how to use these talents in the national team. we need to figure out what we are doing wrong.

Roberto Piazza is the new iran coach. Finally a competent foreign coach.

Hopefully our football will learn very quickly from it and correct the GN mistake

[PrinceAli]

The new coach is ranked 12th in the world according to https://volleybox.net/coaches/ranking

for comparison, the previous coach is ranked 107th

Behrouz Ataei (the coach before that) is ranked 389th

Foreign TM coach Velasco is 10th in these rankings

Hopefully this new competent coach will be able to help turn our fortunes around and get our volleyball back on track

[Nokhodi]

He's ok. He's not as great as people think.
We are Iranians though so naturally our players will listen more simply because he's a foreigner.
