Mahdavikia: نشد We were not surprised by the Qatari team’s game / The referee could have fired the opponent’s player

According to the sports correspondent of Fars News Agency, Mehdi Mahdavikia stated in a press conference after the one-on-one draw against Qatar in the first match of the Asian Under-23 Championship: “We lost 2 points. We were a better team in both halves. We had more goal opportunities.

He added: “Qatar used its single position and scored, but it was very good that we were able to return to the game after we scored.” I hope we will do better in the upcoming games. Our physical physique is good, but our players are 2 years younger than the Qatari players. We need to score We create many opportunities to score. Our main problem is not scoring goals.

“I think the referee did well,” Mahdavikia said of the referee. There was a series of scenes that we could not comment on much because we did not see the slow scene, but the opposing player could have received a red card which the referee showed him a yellow card, but VAR is used in games.

The head coach of Omid Iran stated: We were not surprised by the Qatari team and the opponent played exactly the way we thought. We knew this team well and I think we played well. This game is over and now our focus is on the Turkmenistan game. We have started our recovery from now on and we want to win that race. We respect all our opponents, but we need three points in that game.
