France Better than Iran in All Aspects: Raul Lozano
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian national volleyball team's coach Raul Lozano says that their opponents’ good all-round performance was their biggest problem in the match.
Iran lost to France in straight sets (25-20, 25-18, 25-22) at the Men’s World Olympic Qualification Tournament at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium on Tuesday.
“We did not pass or receive well. France was better than us in all aspects of the game. They were better in service, reception and attacks,” the Argentine coach said.
“This is why the result was 3-0. Amir Ghafour has some inflammation in his knee and we decided to rest him today and save him for tomorrow's match. He is fine,” Lozano told fivb.com.
Iran has been scheduled to meet host Japan on Wednesday.
