“It is very difficult to be a big surprise in volleyball. If you look in the past you will see that one team has never made so many surprises. We have to be realistic. Asian volleyball is great, but it is not at the level of the world’s best volleyball yet. But after all, we are one fantastic surprise. We lost two games, but that can’t ruin the full impression. Victories against some big teams represent a huge step forward for us.”
Kovač added that future is bright for Iranian volleyball…
“We still can’t afford to play without some important player and we came in Florence without our starting opposite. And we felt his absence in our game. We lacked a bit of quality. I believe that we could make a step forward in the next World Championship. But, firstly we must rest, and then work and prepare ourselves on a proper way.”
