Mizan News Agency – Mehdi Mahdavi Kia“We have passed the first game and we are getting ready to play against Lebanon,” said the head coach of the Omid national football team in a conversation with the media manager of the Omid team. Lebanon is a good and physical team, we analyzed the game of this team with Tajikistan. Due to the opponent’s defense system, we will not have a comfortable game.
He added: “We have analyzed the match between the two teams and we hope to have a good game.” Lebanon played very defensively against Tajikistan and kept an eye on the counter-attacks. Meanwhile, the players of this team are in the age group of 21 and 22 years old and in fact they are under 23 years old, and unlike our team, which is young and mostly under 21 years old, they participate in these competitions.
The head coach of the Amy national football team said about the age category of the players and how many players from this team will reach the Asian Games and the Paris Olympics: . We are looking to the future and we hope to provide a team that will help us more in the Olympic qualifiers. We have 8 months to send a team ready for the important matches ahead by playing a preparatory game. This is the first time that many players are in the national team. We have quality players and with planning we have to participate in the competitions with strength.
Mahdavi Kia said about the special interaction he had with the national team of Omid with the clubs and whether this method of interaction with the clubs will continue or not: “Certainly, some clubs were facing problems with the start of the league.” Many clubs also welcomed him and gave their players to the Omid national team. We would like to advance our plans by interacting with the clubs, and without a doubt, the clubs’ support for the national team will be fruitful.
In response to the question that the proposal that you made to the AFC has been taken into consideration by the public opinion and whether the AFC is also paying attention to this proposal, he said: “Considering that the games are held other than the FIFA days, very It is difficult to get players, and clubs can sometimes not give us players due to their competitive conditions. Therefore, we suggested to the Asian Football Confederation that if a match in this category is held, it should be on FIFA days so that we do not face any problems.
Mahdavi Kia said about holding various camps, holding a four-way tournament and forming a camp in Camp Qatar Spire: “Considering the visit of the President of the Iranian Federation to Qatar and the UAE and holding a meeting with the officials of the South Korean Federation in Tehran, a four-way tournament with Hold teams from Qatar, South Korea and the UAE in Qatar. The presence of Omid team in Camp Spire has also been consulted and there has been talk about holding a friendly match with Omid team in the UAE. We are examining all these issues in order to be ready for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“So far, Tajikistan has not been a bad host, but our biggest problem is holding games on artificial turf, and all our team and club training has been done on natural grass,” he concluded. Tajikistan is also a good team and its players have been together for 8 years and came up from the grassroots, and it is the same team that played against Persepolis. It is a good running team and they enjoy good coordination.
