Carlos Queiroz The Iranian national team manager says the players in the Iranian players in Persian Gulf league teams are not ready to play in the World Cup and should be prepared for their specific training. Carlos Queiroz said at a press conference after Iran’s match against Algiers, “It was a great test for the Iranian national team against this team,” AFP reported. Algeria has very good players who think fast and play the game fast. They have powerful players. It was a great opportunity to learn. I would like to thank the Algerian Football Federation and Mr. Rabah Madjar for the opportunity given to us to play this game.
“As I said before, in international friendly matches against teams like Tunisia and Algeria, we get or get two results,” he said in response to a question that has come about after two matches against Tunisia and Algeria. Or learn. What we have learned is one thing, and I’m very clear about it, no matter how our domestic players performed, they are not ready to play at the World Cup. Our domestic players need special preparation program in the next 40 days to reach this level. They are far from this level and need to be better prepared for duels. They need to be stronger and faster. They need to practice thinking and play fast so they need to work with me.”
Queiroz added that the two games clearly showed that we are far from what we want to be in the World Cup. There are people who do not like what I say, but it’s my job to tell them and give them the necessary warning. Now the decision is not with us. The decision is with those who manage Iranian football. The decision is made by the honorable president of the Federation of Mr. Taj, the heads of the clubs and the highest authority of the Ministry of Sports. We need special exercises for our domestic players.
He said that “the striker of the Algerian team easily scored three goals against Persepolis, saying that the players should be stronger. He can win on all single scenes because he is strong and powerful. It is now when our federation and those responsible for our football have to make a decision. Now it’s time to either have everything or do not have anything so it’s imperative that players work and practice with me to prepare for the World Cup. Whether or not you like, domestic players are not ready to play in the World Cup. If they do not engage and undergo a good quality exercises until the World Cup, we will not have the chance.”
The national team manager added: “The key is to equip our players better and better prepared for this, and there is no way other than doing special exercises.” We have 40 days now. Now is the time to decide. Tomorrow is late Exercises and matches for our players are not enough. Any coach who says this is not true is lying and telling the truth to you. What is important for Iran now? Domestic league or world cup? It is my duty to draw attention to this and say that this is either everything or nothing. I have to be honest and say that.
In response to the question that tonight we saw so e rough play along with a number of injuries, he said: What do you expect from Morocco now? A great party? What do you expect from Portugal and Spain? Waltz or Opera? These games are rock and roll, fast and furious. We need players ready for this speed and fight. We can but be prepared for it. Countries like Portugal and Spain are 40, 50 years ahead of Iran in terms of football development. Can this big difference be compensated within a short time? No The only way we have is to prepare ourselves at least. Our players can jump to Ronaldo 10 times? No, not much luck! We came here to take or learn, and now we learned that we need to work. Now, those who are responsible must make a decision, dear chairman of the federation of football and the minister of sport. Saudi Arabia has made a decision; the players in the team are in the camp and do not play for their clubs. Can we make that decision? This is a question that exists.
“We are good friends for each other and we have worked together in FIFA,” said Queiroz, in response to the question of whether he was invited by a former head of the Algerian federation for co-operation. “That’s right, but I had a deal with the Iranian Football Federation and I was committed to this team and players and the goals we had for the World Cup. “Algeria is a great team,” he said in response to the question of what he thinks of Algeria . In the previous World Cup they were the only team that could defeat Germany. They now rebuild their team. I’m sure Rabah Madjer with his personality would give the Algerian national team everything they deserves.
