Aghasi: We hope for success in Asia / We will not grow any team for ourselves

According to Fars News Agency, Aref Aghasi, regarding the confrontation between Foolad and Al-Gharafah on the first night of the group stage of the Asian Champions League, said: “We played a very good game and if we were lucky we could have defeated this valuable team.” We showed that we are planned and motivated for the Asian Championships and no team can underestimate us.

He added: “Javad Nekounam had warned us all the necessary points due to his good analysis of the opposing team, but we were really unlucky in hitting the last shots.” In the second half, we did not allow the Al-Gharafah players to show off, and they had no choice but to defend. They took a lot of time in the game and I think they are completely satisfied with this result. We look forward to the upcoming games and success in this season of the Asian Champions League. We try to make the hearts of the steel fans and the people of Khuzestan and Iran happy and to be a worthy representative for them.

The defender of Khuzestan Steel said: “From now on, we have forgotten the game with Al-Gharafa and we are only thinking about the next game.” Shabab Al-Ahly is also a good team, but surely we will appear with a double motivation, like playing against Al-Gharafa. We do not make an opponent great for ourselves and we do not underestimate any team. Because we believe we are a good and empathetic team and we can do whatever we want in this tournament with help and empathy.
