It's hard to know about the family or the news in Iran. This is because the communication situation is not good."

Ali Hagparast (22, Seoul Woori Card) cannot easily get news from his family due to the U.S. aggression toward his home country of Iran. Despite the unfortunate situation, he is only looking at the team's goal of spring volleyball.

Woori Card won the set score 3-1 (25-27, 25-19, 25-15, 25-23) in an away match between Incheon Korean Air and Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 6th. At the center of it was Ali, who scored 28 points, the most by both teams.

Ali, who wore Woori Card's uniform in the Asian quarter, scored the most points this season, with two blocking and serve aces each, and the attack success rate was 70.59%. Its market share was 32.38 percent, which was higher than ever. The attack efficiency was 61.76% and the receiving efficiency was 55%.

Even before the game, acting coach Park Chul-woo (41) was worried a lot. It was because of Ali's inner situation. Recently, Iran has been attacked by the United States and Israel, which have been at odds. In the process, supreme leader Ali Hossein Khamenei died and there was also a tragedy in which numerous casualties occurred.

Ali's family is also staying in their home country. Before the game, acting coach Park Chul-woo also said, "(Ali) seemed to have a lot of worries. I think I'm checking it through articles or SNS, but I'm not showing it mentally, he said. "I was worried a lot about the recent bomb dropping in the city, but my parents were okay, so I said there was no big problem."

Nevertheless, Ali gave three points to a team desperate for victory and eventually jumped to fourth place, narrowing the point gap with third-place Uijeongbu KB Insurance to two. If the season ends like this, it will be able to advance to the semi-playoff, and if the current trend continues, it will be able to leap to third place.

Therefore, acting Park was also grateful for Ali. After the game, acting Park said, "Ali also had a situation in his home country before the game, and Kim Ji-han was in a bad condition due to severe food poisoning three days ago, and he recovered well overall and played a good game. In particular, I want to tell you that I am proud of Ali for playing well by fully exercising his capabilities."

I was fully aware that it was difficult to concentrate on the game, so I was grateful.

Ali, who was selected as a decorated player, said, "It is difficult to know the news of the family or Iran. This is because the communication situation is not good, he said, but added, "I hope the Iranian people are always happy and have good things to do. I hope the situation will improve nationally as well," he said.

It was even more surprising because I had pain in my shoulder. I was well aware of how important the game and the points were for the team, so I put more effort into recovery. Ali said, "It's hard to say that it's completely good for both the shoulder and the body as a whole. I always try to be in good condition, but it's not easy, he said. "I know that the coach and the trainers help me a lot, so I'm trying to take better care of my body myself. I have three games left, but I'm always trying hard to manage to win all the games," he explained.

Already, teams in numerous countries want Ali. I also want him in the European leagues, where the league level is much higher. Ali said, "I think our card may want (me), but we also have offers in Italy and Poland, so we are thinking about leaving them all open. Nothing is certain yet. "I'm going to listen to all the offers and choose a good one," he said. "Visa is a problem. Iran is at war now, so even if you want to go to another league, you may have difficulty issuing visas. I'm not sure I can go anywhere I want. If there is no visa problem, there is a possibility that I can go to another league," he said.

Is it because of the idea that it might be the last season on Woori Card. Ali is only thinking of spring volleyball. "Every team wants to go to spring volleyball. Woori Card lost a lot from the first to third rounds, but everyone is showing themselves that they are doing really well from the fourth round. It's also because the players want to go to spring volleyball, he said. "I don't think anyone knows who will win as long as they go to spring volleyball. I think the probability of Woori Card going is really high, and I think the probability of winning the championship is really high as long as we advance to spring volleyball," he expressed confidence.
