Mahdavi: Now is not the time to criticize Qalanewi and Enayati

Mohammadreza Mahdavi, in an interview with the sports reporter of Fars news agency, said about the criticisms raised about the participation of our national football team in the KAFA tournament, considering the level of the teams participating in the competition, we should first see the rankings and the events that happen after the tournaments. . Kafa is held every year in all age groups. It should be seen whether our team had better conditions to participate in the tournament. I think that was not the case. On the other hand, Amir Ghalenoui wants to have a benchmark. In the meantime, some criticisms are raised and many blame him. Playing with teams like Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan may not be very productive, but it is effective in coordinating the players with personnel measures and even ranking.

* Attending Kaffa is a good thing

He added: For example, Mehdi Taremi has scored a hat trick only once for the national team. However, most of our players are at the level of Europe and the world, and we have very good legionnaires. Our domestic players are also at the first level of Asia and it is good to test together. Maybe the game within the team is not so attractive and pleasant for the players and the staff who want to test them. For these reasons, attending Kafa was a good thing.

* You should not play with strong teams from the beginning

The former player of our country’s national team said: “This game is very good.” The rule of national camps and tournaments is that you start with weak teams, reach medium and then strong teams. Finally, you have to play again with weaker teams. At the very beginning, they don’t start against strong teams.

* The national team has a bright future with Qalanewi and its Iranian staff

Mahdavi explained about the future of the national team with the current staff: the future of the national team is very bright because we have the main elements and skeleton for success and good things happen with Iranian coaches. In the past years, Iranian coaches have received a passing grade. If we give Ghalenoui and his staff a chance, we will get a dignified result.

* Team Omid played after one year, we should give Enayati the same time

Regarding the fact that the national team of Omid managed to beat Syria 3-1 after a year with Reza Enayati on the bench for the first time, he said: this team trained with new personnel just a week before the West Asian tournament. That too with factors that have not been together so far. We must give time to Enayati and his students and think professionally. We should seize the opportunity for them. Time is very important. After a year, this team played its first game with a new staff and got an acceptable result.

* Now is not the time to criticize Qalanewi and Ayaniati

The former coach of our country’s national teams noted: When some people make decisions, they must have observed many issues in their thinking room. Let Qalanewi and Enayati do their work. What criticism can we make now? What is going to happen now? Now is not the time to criticize these coaches and their teams.
