20 questions, 1 player - Iman Jamali

 

This year Telekom Veszprém's roster consist of 20 players. In our new series we are going to ask the same 20 questions to each player. We are moving up by the jersey number, our eighteenth subject was Iman Jamali. You can read the chat with him below.

 

 

My favorite food is ghormeh sabzi, which is a Persian specialty. It is a kind if stew with vegetable, meat and a lot of beans.

 

My favorite is tea.

 

It is grey.

 

My favorite film is the Lion. It was nominated for an Oscar in a lot of category. It was so good.

 

I do not have a favorite actor. When I was little I really loved Jackie Chan.

 

I would say Michael Bublé. I like his work.

 

My favorite song is from Bublé too. It is Feelin’ good. I listen to a lot of Persian music as well.

 

I loved The Magic from Rhonda Byrne.

 

I love wolves. Because they can be like lions, but they live together in a pack and support each other. They prefer to die than giving up.

 

If we play at home, I like to wake up without an alarm. That is really important. If I do this than I do not have to sleep after lunch. If we are on the road, I wake up with the team and sleep an hour after lunch. Usually I do some stretching at home in the morning before I leave to the game.

 

 

I am proud that I am the first Asian player who played in the Champions League Final4 and the first Iranian who played in Europe. I think the thing I am the proudest of is that I played in the Champions League Final4 against Barcelona.

 

I do not have a role model but I try to learn things from the biggest stars in my position. I try and learn their behavior. When I was younger I liked Kim Andersson, from Kiel. We could watch Bundesliga in Iran and I watched him play.

 

I would be a volleyball player. I learned to play in sport high school. We have a very good volleyball selection in Iran and I was good at it.

 

I do not watch a lot of sport. If I have to say something than I would say tennis, but only if Roger Federer plays.

 

I love to talk with my family and friends but it is not so easy. It is a lot of video calling and whatsapp messages to Iran. I also love to hang out with my friends.

 

The prettiest is the city I was born in, it is called Isfahan. I also like Budapest.

 

My dream car is a huge Porsche Macan.

 

I do not fear anything right now.

 

I think there are a lot of positive things to say in sports but my motto in life is Do not judge quickly. Never judge anyone too quickly.

 

I would love to learn many languages. I would love to be an artist like my sister. She paints really beautiful pictures and I would like to be able to do that also.
