Captain Says Iran U-21 Was Well Prepared to Win Championship
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran U-21 captain Amirhossein Esfandiar says the team had difficult preparation to win the FIVB Volleyball Men’s U-21 World Championship.
Iran claimed gold in the FIVB Volleyball Men’s U-21 World Championship after an intense tie-break triumph (17-25, 25-17, 25-23, 22-25, 15-12) against Italy on Saturday evening at Bahrain’s Isa Sport City.
“This medal means all our hard work during training; all our blood, sweat, and tears; all our hardships and pain. We have had extremely difficult preparation to win this championship,” Esfandiar said.
“Bahrain has been a very good and very memorable place for my volleyball career. For the last three years I have come here, I have won the gold medal with this team. We have won the FIVB U-19, Asian U-20, and now another world championship for U-21. This is a complete set for us," he added.
