Sharifi is an OH, he subbed Ghafour in P1 setting, with OPP on a left wing, because Ghafour isn't a strong spiker from a left side, and Kazemi is used as a serve sub in almost every set.
I see... so that's why.
QuoteIt was kinda understandable since this famous Kubiak's xenophobic outburst to attack him personally, but it has gotten out of a control, it is crazy at this point, and first and foremost it is sad that people are unaware that with this type of behaviour (mass hating towards third people) that they do is resulting with reproducing a negative reaction towards them as a community.
Overcome evil with the good, or something like that.
Well, I don't think such a behavior is acceptable or justifiable at all. I'm honestly ashamed how they're attacking Kurek's family (Like wtf? They've not said anything, or even Kurek himself, he wasn't the one saying that stuff before the match). But even attacking Kubiak isn't understandable. Don't just go ahead and insult his entire family! Wtf is wrong with people? At first, I checked the comments on Kubiak's page and they were basically spamming IR flag which is a nice way of protesting his comments before the match, but I don't think any personal attacks or even worse, attacks on his family who've done nothing wrong in this case is by any means justified.
We all know Kubiak is a jerk, respond to him on the court by beating his ass, not by saying garbage on social media.

BTW, just an OT but still related with Iran, their fans are so wild on IG towards Polska. Bartek's girlfriend has became the recent victim of the continuous online bashing from the Iranian fans. Following her IG story, they are calling her nasty comments such as prostitute, etc. Felt so bad for her
Yes. I've seen it too, so many nasty comments. It's really embarrassing to see them saying such horrible stuff and spreading a bad reputation of us as a whole.
He looks to be third in the case earlier, it was Sharifi that was subbed in for Ghafour. Oh well, he still young, so much time and potential to level up his game
Sharifi is OH though. I have no fking idea why Alekno replaced Ghafour by Sharifi for one turn. Seriously, no one knows what's happening in Alekno's mind lol.
Iran's future is bright! The bench is getting deeper as the youngsters revealing themselves
Except for the setter position. I mean, Karimi is good, but I doubt anyone at the same level of Marouf will come in the recent future.

He was okay, but his spike percentage was average (44,7%), Ghafour is much more experienced player and he played really well against Poland. Kazemi is probably happy to get a 2nd spot as an opposite in Olympic team, from this young generation, Porya Yali looked like a safe bet two years ago.
Don't forget about Saadat! Iran's 2nd OPP spot has lots of candidates lol!

The Iranians do not joke around lmao
Imagine waking up to such a scene on your Instagram lol. But well, Kubiak kinda deserves it considering what he said before the match (or perhaps his words were exaggerated by the media? which I doubt since he has a provocative personality). At least this time it is a mostly polite comment section.

Germany vs Iran was such a drama lol. Kazemi looks like such a promising player, 27 points. Salehi also seems to be really good. So many serve errors made by Iranians though.
Iranian players on bench started making noises at the 4th set, I guess when the game was 2-0 in favor of them. The players in the game also circled around the field after each point, keeping their spirits high. It was at that moment when Germany's head coach, Giani, began protesting, and in response, Alekno made a shush gesture.
When the game finished, Giani celebrated in victory by dancing while looking at Iran's bench (I believe?), kinda mocking Alekno at the end, where he glared in response (it's really scary when he stares at you).
And as expected, there appears to be some tension on social media. Iranian fans are extremely angry at Ebadipour, some attacking his Instagram page by all types of insults you can imagine.
