Tehran, YJC. Iran’s coach says his team will make wonder in today’s match against Nigeria.
Iran’s national football coach Carlos Quieroz speaking in a
news conference said "We have come to the World Cup to prove that we are
qualified to be there. We have taken a lot of pain for that, but we will have
not one, but rather many surprises along the games. I hope that we can play so
that we will return to Iran with pride.”
He added "When we qualified for the World Cup we knew that
playing there would be at a different level of soccer. So we had to boost the
team which was not easy to do. We did what we have to do and we are ready to
face the world’s top teams. We want to show that Iran is qualified to play in
the World Cup.”
Providing comments on
his match with Nigeria on Monday he said "Nigeria is full of stars. It has
players that play in Europe. Keshi is also a seasoned coach and has been
successful since 1994 when Nigeria played in the World Cup.”
"No one would claim that we will always win or will always
lose. There is a chance for us here to fight and we will take the chance to
demonstrate our soccer’s power. For us the match against Nigeria is more
important than all the rest. For now we are thinking about this team. We will
think of Argentina afterwards,” the coach asserted.
