According to Tasnim news agency, after the youth football team’s 1-0 defeat against Iraq and failure to qualify for the World Cup, Samad Murfawi said: “It was a sensitive game for both us and Iraq.” We didn’t do what we asked our kids to do, and the Iraqi players were successful in hand-to-hand battles and tried to catch a lot of us. Our kids could not have good technical conditions and Iraq was more successful than us in almost one-on-one clashes. Of course, they didn’t have that many chances and they were able to beat us with one or two chances. Congratulations to them.
In response to the fact that Iraq was able to beat Iran with a shot in the frame, he said: I also said that Iraq got a chance and shot from behind the penalty area, our players focused on the moment the Iraqi player shot. They did not have what it takes. Unfortunately, we failed due to a lack of focus at a bad time. The people we added to the team could not help us.
The head coach of our country’s youth football team said that the qualification for the World Cup made this match very sensitive and the two teams played a close game. Yes, it was a sensitive game and both teams are looking for this were to advance to the World Cup. It was natural for both teams to play cautiously and have a competitive game, and due to this situation, there were few scoring opportunities for both teams, and one of the ways to score was to shoot, which Iraq also used and scored a goal. .
