The main problem is that players cannot fight until the end.
This was stated by Farid Jalalov, the head coach of the Azerbaijani men's national volleyball team, in his statement to "Repart".
The specialist evaluated the team's performance in the Silver European League:
"After the defeat in the first game against Luxembourg, the team could not recover. I say the same things every time, it repeats itself. The team consists of young people. Inexperience always has its say. There are volleyball players in the team who are taking their first steps in the national team. In the set we won in the match with Hungary, the team was able to achieve what it wanted. As a result of not repeating the previous mistakes, we finished the set in our favor. Although we scored 16 points in the other sets as a head-to-head, unfortunately it did not continue and we lost. Our problem is that players cannot reach the end. The reason for this is inexperience. During the matches, the coaching staff tries to motivate the volleyball players. But sometimes this does not bear fruit".
F.Jalalov said that he is sure that the national team will be strengthened in the near future:
"We have 10 games ahead of us during the summer. We will hold 2 test matches in Georgia. Mainly, we will give all volleyball players a chance in the test matches. I believe that after these 10 meetings, we will witness positive changes in the players. We hope that they will no longer repeat those mistakes".
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team won against Georgia with a score of 3:0 in the Silver European League, lost to Sweden and Luxembourg with a score of 0:3, and to the Hungarian team with a score of 1:3.
