In the aftermath of the debate between Queiroz and some of his critics, regarding the measurement of Nekounam’s running in the friendly match against Guinea, it turned out that both side of the argument are speculative about their figures.

Carlos Queroz refuted Iran Varzeshi’s claim that the distance that Nekounam ran was 5-6 Km in the match and provided an accurate measurement of 11.379 km.

Majeed Jalali known to be a football software expert in addition to his job as a football coach, was interviewed regarding the tools for accurate measurement of a players performance. Jalali said “To accurately measure the performance of a player including the distance he covers in a match , an analysis software tools is required. Such tools are not available in Iran. A software company that markets this tool , charges 30 million Toman per match to provide the data and the hardware tools to be installed before the match requires a payment of 80 Million Toman.”

“The only time that such software was used in Iran was during the Hazfi Cup final between Zob Ahan and Rah Ahan a few years back.”

Jalali also emphasized the performance analysis and measurement of a football player is not just restricted by the distance run by a player but includes his stationary time, acceleration, burst acceleration and light running. Jalali also acknowledged that the student of Sharif University , the highest technology university in Iran , have developed a software to aid coaches in analyzing players’ performance. He added that “unfortunately, the hardware required for the distance run measurement was under Western sanction and could not be purchased leaving the distance run part as dysfunctional”

Commenting on the case of Nekounam , Jalali said “defending his Captain , is completely natural and logical move by Queiroz . A sub-standard performance in a friendly match should not be taken against Nekounam who was one of our best players in the qualifiers. I believe that Javad will be one of the key players in the World Cup.”

Majid Jalali resigned his post as Tractorsazi’s coach on January 2014 after a series of poor results and fans discontent.
