Iran national team’s star, Ashkan Dejagah, is looking forward to Super Eagles’ clash against Scotland on Wednesday in London, which will take place at the ground of Dejagah’s club, Fulham.

Although Dejagah himself is currently preparing with Team Melli in Austria, the Iranian winger shared his opinion about the upcoming Nigeria’s friendly with his club’s website. The former Wolfsburg midfielder has assured that Iran players will be watching the match together, as their World Cup’s opening group stage clash against Super Eagles in considered as the most important encounter by the Asian side.

“I’m sure Iran will send some people and scouts to watch this game. It’s an interesting game and it’s nice because it’s taking place at Craven Cottage and there’s bound to be a great atmosphere”, Dejagah told fulhamfc.com. “If we don’t have training, perhaps our manager [Carlos Queiroz] will ask us to watch this game together as a squad.”

“I think it’s [Nigeria against Iran] a big game for both of us because it’s our first game in the group. It’s the most important game to take some points and I think Nigeria are a good team. “It will be difficult to play against them because the African teams are very physical and very strong but we have time to be ready and to work hard to prepare for the tournament.”

In Dejagah’s opinion, all three teams apart from big favourites Argentina – Nigeria, Iran and Bosnia – have equal chances to get past the group stage. “I think Argentina will go through but the other three teams also have a chance so we will try our best and we will see. Our first game is the most important game because if we start well we have a good chance to go through.” Iranian team will be having a day off on Wednesday, as Carlos Queiroz’ men face Montenegro tomorrow (May, 26th) and Angola on Friday (May, 30th).
