Iran’s Shahrdari Varamin into Asian Club Volleyball C’ship Semis
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Shahrdari Varamin kept alive its high hopes on competing in the final showdown of the 2019 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship.
The Iranian team swept host Taichung Bank in straight sets 25-20 25-15 25-20 at the University of Taipei (Tianmu) Gymnasium on Wednesday.
Alireza Jalali led Shahrdari with 10 points from 7 attacks and team-leading 3 blocks, while Kao Wei-Cheng emerged as the top scorer of Taichung Bank, whose age average is 21.4 years, with 11 points including 9 attacks, one block and one ace. Captain Wu Tsung-Hsuan added 9 points, all from powerful attacks.
“It was (an) important match since we were fighting in the quarter-finals. I think this young Chinese Taipei team have a good future and they showed good volleyball. We will play Chennai Spartans in the semi-finals. They are a strong teams with good players. I think we will have a great fight. It’s very difficult to expect our match against the Indians. However, I think they have some weak points we can find out the way to play them,” Shahrdari Varamin coach Rahman Mohammadi said.
