Mohammadi: Going to the World Cup is normal / support so that hopes can reach the Olympics

According to the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Mohammad Mohammadi stated after the match between Omid national team and Persepolis: “Thank God, we had a good camp and played two very serious and solid games.” Especially today’s game, Persepolis is a big team and came with the main players. These kids are the mountain of motivation. A good head coach named Mahdavi Mahdavi Kia is above them. All we are trying to do is get these guys to gain experience and prepare for the qualifying games for the Paris Olympics.

“Unfortunately, the necessary arrangements were not made and we could not play there,” he said about not holding the game on the main field of Azadi Stadium and whether money was requested. A contract had been drawn up and they had apparently requested a sum of money. They have a tariff and unfortunately we acted late. If we had said earlier, perhaps the coordination would have been done sooner. According to the tariff, they did not want anything more or less, but we talked to our friends and they said it would be better to play here (football academy field).

Regarding Mahdavi Kia’s complaint about the lack of preparation games and absence in the Dubai Cup, the head of Omid team said: he is right. We are a little behind and our work is very hard. According to Mahdavi Kia, who wants to go to the Paris Olympics with 21-year-olds, those who can help, our work is very difficult. We are behind and we are doing our best to make up for the lost time with the hard work of the children and practicing in the morning and afternoon. I ask all my friends to help. This team has great potential. We need stronger and foreign games. These guys have to play outside of Iran with strong Asian teams so that, God willing, we can prepare for the preliminary matches with a full team.

Regarding whether the national team of Omid may undergo changes in the staff again, Mohammadi said: “Currently, both the Football Federation and the National Olympic Committee fully support the national team of Omid.” Mahdavi Kia’s concern is these children. He is not looking for a specific move or event at all. I can not comment on the past because I was not, but certainly if this team is supported, good things will happen with the good staff we have. Going to the World Cup has become normal for people, everyone is waiting for God willing, Omid team to reach the Paris Olympics. If this team is supported, we can certainly climb easily.
