In an interview with Tasnim sports reporter, Rahman Rezaei said about the 1-0 victory of the Iranian national football team against the UAE: “The most important thing was that the national team won at home in the UAE, but I think everyone agrees on this issue, which is relatively In previous games, the national team performed worse. I think the physical condition of the players was not ideal.
“At least we could have scored three goals against the UAE,” he said. Although the conditions of the players in this game were not ideal, we thanked God and remained at the top of the table. This is a matter of confidence to play comfortably against South Korea.
The former player of the Iranian national team pointed out the reason for the national team’s loss in the game against the UAE: From the fifth minute of the game, I felt that the team was not focused on the previous games. Perhaps due to the lack of a proper and long-lasting camp and holding the game in the UAE weather conditions, the players’ bodies were out of ideal shape.
Rezaei also stated: “Thank God, despite all these issues, the national team won this difficult game, and this is a place of congratulations.” It can be said that we got three points on a day when we were not so good. The general condition of the national team is very good and allowed the team to suffer at some point in every tournament.
In conclusion, he said: “The game with the UAE is over for us and now we should only think about the game with Korea so that we can meet this important game by eliminating our weaknesses and better physical condition.” The game with Korea is the most important game of the national team on the way to the World Cup.
