Julio Velasco’s Iran team has one foot and a half into the next World League. Japan would have to beat Iran 3-0 today to turn things around.
Meanwhile, with the qualification obtained, Molfetta’s new “entrenador” Cichello will be able to lead the team into his first training session tomorrow afternoon.
Remaining on the topic of International action, the only player left missing in Molfetta is Belgium spiker Matthijs Verhanemann, who helped the team beat Holland yesterday after beating Israel on Friday. He will now meet Estonia, which lost its two first games. After that, the three teams of the group will meet again from September 14 to 19 in Estonia, which means Matt will not come to Molfetta before September 17.
