Road to Olympics 2020 Tokyo

This is where our team has to avoid getting complacent. Can’t take it easy.

Australia is the only team I was scared of to be honest. If we face China in the final we will beat them but we shouldn't underestimate Qatar even though we beat them easily 3-0 a few months ago.

Wow. Such a close game against Korea. We barely beat them 3-2.
Gave me a heart attack.

Complacency. Our boys usually get huge egos against “weak” teams. Still have the final now.

I think Korea was really good today. Our attack was missing Ghafour badly.

Final against China tomorrow. We have already beaten them 3-0 once a few days ago. Let's hope the atmosphere and pressure doesn't get to the boys.

Kimia Alizadeh confirmed the rumors herself, she is not going back to Iran.

mixed feeling for me, her reasons are valid, I can't argue but then again people have to sacrifice for their country, right ? she was the best female athlete in Iran's history. even though I'm not sure if she can win anything else in future because of several injuries.

still she gave us some great moments, thanks for that and goodbye. I only cheer for the Iranians whom represent Iran and not anywhere else.

I can say our boys started the match with very low energy, I wonder if this had anything to do with the news coming from Iran about the Ukrainian plane, I mean it's hard to focus on your task after hearing about this. personally I can't.

they got into the match slowly but then South Korea changed gear in 4th and then 5th set. they played great , it was a very tough win. I think final will be easier.

Mohammad Mousavi posted on Instagram that he has no motivation for the final along with many players.

The only passion and happiness left for many Iranian people is sports. They should know that qualifying to the Olympics brings a little smile to the people's faces even temporarily.
