While Team Melli is active preparing for the continent’s most important trophy, the Asian Cup, Carlos Queiroz issued a statement through the Official FFIRI website carrying a message of hope and encouragement..

Queiroz, who has never shied from attacking his detractors while himself constantly criticizes the lack of quality support for Team Melli by the federation and the government, through such statements, seems to pave the way for another battle of the field in addition to the on-field preparations and training the squad.

The text of this message is as follows:

“Undermining the efforts or not achieving a good place or losing in the Asian Cup, in fact, is in contempt of all the sacrifices and commitments made by coaches and players over the past few years.

Failure to support the national squad’s preparation process effectively and at the right time, with real resources and solutions, will disappoint the supporters of the national team and cause shame and humiliation of all the dreams and expectations of supporters who have gone through the achievements of the higher national team.

Sometimes the main thing is not pursuing impossible, but to improve the conditions of the past. To be a champion, to win, you have to play better, practice harder, have better rest and sleep.

With a tech-minded group that is like a close-knit company, detectors of values, creators of talent, courageous opposition plans destroyers, and precise analysts by doing very difficult and clever tasks with the adherence and display of courage and sacrifices, we were able to do the right thing. Where exactly others predicted that it would be impossible to succeed, some of them even dreamed of defeating us. Thank you, gentlemen, I am very proud of you and here I would like to thank you very much from my heart.

Of course, now is time for all of us to stand up and face the challenges ahead with the same flexibility and commitment that we all have, and that’s precisely what we need to do to prepare, train, and support our players in the national team. Now that we are faced with devastating winds, I seek your courage and loyalty to motivate our players so that we can succeed in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 and turns those sweat drops in to gold, thanks to the support of the national team. ”
