Eghbali: Critics of Canaanites’s previous sentence are now silent / National football can be dangerous and open football can be dangerous

In an interview with a sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Masoud Eghbali said about the matches of our national football team against South Korea and Lebanon in the qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: “We can look at these games from two dimensions.” When Dragan Skucic took over as head coach of the national team, the Legionnaires’s chances were crucial as the deciding players. Although we had a problem in the previous round and it was difficult to get out of this situation, we did not have a hard time in the final preliminary round. At this stage, the players became more familiar with Skocic’s thoughts, and finally we were able to qualify for the World Cup without any worries.

He continued: Of course, the second dimension is about the weakness of the national team. We could not find any young players in these qualifiers who could also play for the national team in the World Cup. Of course, young players like Hosseinzadeh, who were invited to play against South Korea and Lebanon, are currently not good for the national team for the World Cup and high-level international events, and are mostly used in domestic competitions.

Our country’s football expert, referring to the need to hold strong preparation matches before the national team participates in the World Cup, replied: In the remaining 8-7 until the World Cup, we must play good friendly matches. We do not benefit from playing with Central Asian teams such as Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and opponents at this level cannot strengthen the national team. Of course, the national team’s promotion to the World Cup is over, and the match against South Korea and Lebanon is not decisive.

Eghbali explained that the result of the next two games is effective in Iran’s lead and FIFA ranking for the World Cup draw: Our team does not matter if it is first or second in its group because it has to play again with European, South American and African teams. Our football is far from international standards and we do not have a chance to advance to the second round of the world. We just have to think about decent removal. Carlos Queiroz had created good defensive cohesion for the national team, but Skocic does not think so and wants to play smooth football, which is very dangerous in the World Cup.

He added: “If we follow Kirosh’s method and have a good defensive style, at least we will not score many goals.” World football has improved a lot in physical, tactical and psychological aspects, but when our team does not have strong friendly matches with big opponents, it suffers from psychological problems in the World Cup. The experience of the World Cup is completely different from the qualifiers.

Our country’s football expert said that Mohammad Hossein Kanani-Zadegan was banned from participating in the national team games for two sessions due to an immoral move during the presidency of Shahab Azizi Khadem, but in the current period, the appeals committee changed the vote of this defender. “Unfortunately, we have lost morale in football,” he said. A player who is disqualified from two official friendly matches with that ugly move suddenly changes his sentence to two disqualifications from preparatory matches. This attitude of the federation is very bad and it causes us to see behavior like Yahya Golmohammadi’s movements in the derby. Our football is by no means morally and technically standard.

Eghbali added: “If we treated the Canaanites correctly, other people would also learn.” Not only is there no law in our football, but there is lawlessness in that law. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. These behaviors are very bad in our football. Board members and some individuals criticized the Canaanite ethics committee at the time of the ruling, but now they have remained silent, indicating that they are deciding elsewhere for our football. Our team that went to the World Cup. In this situation, the appeals committee had to at least approve the vote of the ethics committee so that the young man would understand that he would not behave like that in the national team camp.

He stated: “In football, we have seen what ugly moves have been made to be happy after the goal.” You do not see examples of verbal violence and common attitudes in our football in the world because there is a law there, but in our football, from somewhere else, they say forgive or not forgive someone. This is why Yahya Golmohammadi pretends to be oppressed after his misbehavior and wants to put the fans in front of the federation. If these behaviors are not corrected, our non-standard football will suffer more. When our referees do not dare to whistle in time and the player and the coach protest with any excuse, there is a possibility of repeating these movements in the World Cup.
