Kumara said he was satisfied with his team\u2019s performance, citing that it was a good match against a strong opposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnically, I think it was a good match. Taichung Bank had outstanding techniques with good middle blockers. As usual, we opened up with some mistakes in the first set and tried to improve on the following sets and that\u2019s why we always played five sets with our rivals. However, I think the key to our team\u2019s success was setter and No.9 A. Karthik, especially in the fifth set. I think my team played well. We next take on Australia\u2019s Queensland Pirates and hope that we can beat them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38913\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3775\" height=\"2648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1.jpg 3775w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/japan6-1-600x421.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3775px) 100vw, 3775px\" \/>Earlier, Japan\u2019s Panasonic Panthers survived a sturdy challenge from Sri Lanka Ports Authority Sports Club to demolish the fighting rivals in hard-fought three-setter 25-21 25-23 25-21.<\/p>\n<p>Tatsuya Fukuzawa scored a team-high 16 points from 13 attacks and 3 solid blocks for Panasonic Panthers, while Kenji Shirasawa contributed 12 points including 5 blocks and 2 aces. Janitha Surath led Sri Lanka Ports Authority Sports Club with 17 points.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Panasonic Panthers\u2019 head coach Shinji Kawamura said that he was satisfied with the victory, citing that the team still had something to correct ahead of the next tough match against Iran\u2019s Varamin Municipality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to win again although the match against the Sri Lankan team was very close. I think we played difficultly in the first two sets because we did some mistakes and when you have to play a strong team from Iran the following day, you have to clear those mistakes. However, I believe our next match against Varamin Municipality will be a good match. We will do our best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38914\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4010\" height=\"2742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1.jpg 4010w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iran5-1-600x410.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4010px) 100vw, 4010px\" \/>Meanwhile, ace spiker Alireza Jalali scored a match-high 19 points as Cultural and Sports Club of Varamin Municipality continued their remarkable unbeaten run at the 2019 Asian Men\u2019s Club Volleyball Championship after demolishing Ho Chi Minh City in thrilling straight sets 25-22 25-20 25-20.<\/p>\n<p>Alireza Jalali chipped in with 14 attacks from 25 attempts, one block and 4 aces for the winning side, while Nguyen Van Hanh was the lone Vietnamese player who scored double-digit 22 points for Ho Chi Minh City including 20 kills from 30 attempts and one ace.<\/p>\n<p>Varamin Municipality, which made a clean sweep in Pool B in the pool round-robin preliminaries, fielded a strong lineup including Alireza Jalali and Mohammad Razipoor, both of whom competed in the gold-winning Khatam Ardakan at the previous edition last year in Myanmar, while powerful hitter Nguyen Van Hanh and Le Quang Khanh spearheaded Ho Chi Minh City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the first match we played in this main hall, but we tried to keep quality. In the beginning of the match, we had a little problem with their combination attacks, but after that we knew how to play and how to block them. We had a very good result. Against Panasonic Panthers in our next match, I think it will be the most important match for us since if we can beat them, we will top the pool and the next match after that will be much easier for us. Panthers are also a good team in this tournament. They bring all the players and I think they are one of the strong teams to be reckoned with. We will do our best and hope the Japanese enjoy our match,\u201d Varamin Municipality\u2019s head coach Mohammadirad Rahman commented after the match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38915\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3512\" height=\"2235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2.jpg 3512w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/qat5-2-600x382.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3512px) 100vw, 3512px\" \/>Qatar\u2019s Al-Rayyan also faced no issues in shutting out Australia\u2019s Queensland Pirates in convincing straight sets 25-21 25-17 25-21.<\/p>\n<p>Kamil Rychlicki led Al-Rayyan with 13 points from 11 attacks and 2 solid blocks, with Marko Vukasinovic making good company to add 11 points including 9 kills from 14 attempts. William Mercer scored a team-high 16 points for Queensland Pirates including 15 attack hits.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Kamil Rychlicki, a key player who always scored highest points foo Al-Rayyan, said, \u201cWe want to clear favourite in this game and so we could win the match without losing a set. We did our best in putting them under control, but still, I think they played well. We lost 2-3 to Chennai the previous day, but fortunately we still secured the top of the pool. Our game with Chennai did not go as planned. I think it\u2019s very difficult to play in nine days as you have to shape yourself each day for the up-and-down performances. I hope my team will have a beautiful game against hosts Taichung Bank the following day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38916\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/kaz6-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>At the National Taipei University of Education Gymnasium, Kazakhstan\u2019s TNC Kazchrome VC showed no mercy to Club Singapore to crush the lower-ranked side in a completely one-sided battle 25-14 25-18 25-4 in just 64 minutes in the 9th-14th playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The other match saw Turkmenistan\u2019s Galkan in a tense encounter with Hong Kong China\u2019s Dragon Team before winning 3-2 (25-21 19-25 25-18 18.25 15-11) in exhausting 120 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the last day of the playoff round, Sri Lanka Ports Authority Sports Club take on Vietnam\u2019s Ho Chi Minh City, Varamin Municipality set up a mighty clash with Panasonic Panthers, Chennai Spartans meet Queensland Pirates and Taichung Bank face Al-Rayyan in the top-eighth playoff matches, while Polri Samator Indonesia take on Dragon Team and Est Cola play Club Singapore in the 9th-14th playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taipei, Chinese Taipei, April 21, 2019 &#8211; Determined Chennai Spartans produced a terrific comeback 3-2 (23-25 25-16 23-25 25-20 15-11) win over hosts Taichung Bank, as Panasonic Panthers and Varamin&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":38911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-slider","category-volleyball-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
