We played bad only in the first match and then we picked it up to win the remaining matches. Until now we have reached the semi-finals for the first time in India\u2019s history. My players came here on April 13 and had a short period of time to train together as a full team here, just two days ahead of the competition. I think my players played well in this match in terms of the quality and strategic plan,\u201d Chennai Spartans head coach Dr M. H. Kumara commented after the match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39132\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1-38-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Following the significant success of Chennai Spartans in this topflight competition, Mr Sivapragasame Rajasekaran, Chairman of Chennai Spartans and himself an international volleyball player participating in various international matches globally, and Dr. Uppiliappan Gopalan, Chief Brand Officer of Chennai Spartans, mentioned that India is in the right thresholds of entering the global stage of volleyball and the team are in-form to contest tough matches squarely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great achievement for India. We are representing the nation here. First victory of Chennai Spartans was the Pro Volleyball League that we played in India, which featured a total of six strong teams and Chennai won the cup out there. By winning the League, we qualified for the Asian Men\u2019s Club Championship here. It\u2019s a great moment. It\u2019s a master prize of us to represent India among 14 teams here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a history for India to make it to the semi-finals and I think it\u2019s biggest achievement. At this moment, I would like to take the name of Mr Vasudevan, President of Volleyball Federation of India because without this motivation, I don\u2019t think the Indian team can come this far. Previously, we did not have kind of leadership and that&#8217;s why India stood a little chance of sending club teams to this championship. Now, the Federation has the able leader like Mr S. Vasudevan, who wants to take Indian volleyball to the level of the world\u2019s best league. I believe for more years to come, we will see more successes under his leadership,\u201d Dr. Uppiliappan Gopalan said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC:<br \/>\nAVC Website: www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taipei, Chinese Taipei, April 24, 2019 &#8211; India has reached an important milestone when Chennai Spartans became the first club team from India to enter the semi-finals of the 2019&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":39127,"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-39126","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 -
