According to the Tasnim news agency, Fereshte Karimi, in an interview with the official website of the Football Federation, said: “When I went to the team’s training camp, I remembered myself 10 years ago and doubted that I would play on the grass again.” . We trained for years in these fields and tried for football to reach here.
He added: Many people tried so that now these players can train with good facilities. The exercises are regular and excellent. In the minutes that I was at the training, I saw everything well.
Karimi stated: Many of the national team players are young. This can be the best lesson for the youth in camp. Success has become mandatory for them now that seven of Khatun Bam’s team players are not in this camp due to their participation in the Asian Club Cup.
The national futsal team player continued: I heard that some players did not show up for the camp. Maybe they didn’t like to come. This is unbelievable for me. Is it possible for a player to leave the uniform of the national team easily? The national team jersey is the most sacred garment that a person wears. This issue can be a model for other girls. Everyone is trying to reach the national team jersey and it is justified if someone says that he does not want to reach the national team jersey.
He emphasized: If Fereshte Karimi or any other player is known in Asia, it is because we wore the national team shirt and reached this position under the national flag. Many players or their mothers tell me and people like me that we want to be like you. I tell everyone that the facilities you have now are not comparable to our time and the current players must be much better than us.
Karimi added: It is unimaginable for me that anyone wants to leave the national team jersey for any reason other than injury. It is the decision of these players, but you have to fight for the sacred shirt of the national team.
This futsal player pointed out: Corona showed us all that every moment of training and camps can be valuable. Futsal has not had a camp for three years now. I mean regular camp. Sometimes there is talk of youthfulness in futsal, while I believe that young people have not practiced with experienced players for 5 minutes yet. Now it’s time to hold a camp to make players and coaches.
Karimi emphasized: Not having practice is not a good thing. The level of other teams is constantly improving. In the CAF Cup, we tied with the national futsal team of Uzbekistan, and football events also happen. In any case, I wish success for the women’s national football team. Whether it’s a cup match, a friendly tournament or a friendly match, it’s very valuable for me. One day I want to play with the weakest teams wearing the national team jersey, it is my best day. Maybe some people say that some matches are weak, but it doesn’t matter, we are talking about the national team jersey. I hope the players themselves appreciate this situation. Now the situation is different from 15 years ago when we didn’t even have a dormitory.
In the end, Karimi said: Mrs. Mozafar always said something important to us, her students, and said that these national team camps are for you players, and the coach comes and goes. The technical staff is always changing and everyone comes to make the national team stronger and no one comes to work in a weak national team. This talk is always in my ears and I imitate his words.
