According to Mehr’s reporter, Sardar Azmoun, attending a press conference before the meeting between Iran’s national football team and Hong Kong China in the qualifying stage of the 2026 World Cup, said: “The game will be relatively difficult because the opponent wants to play a tight defense and make things difficult.” . It will be easy if we do what the technical staff wants.
The forward of the Iranian national team added: We hope to get three points tomorrow to celebrate the first game with a win. Congratulations to the junior team for doing a great job. We are all behind the young players.
Regarding the ease of advancing to the World Cup, considering the 48 teams of this competition, Azmoun emphasized: Basic games and adult players are very different because we have more experience. Names don’t do anything on the field and we have to try. It is our duty to do the best. Against Afghanistan, Japan and even Hong Kong, we go to the field with preparation and the most important thing for us is to win.
Regarding the atmosphere of the national team and the possibility of big players sitting on the bench, he said: I respect your question. I hope you never ask this question to national team players. Anyone who is better than us and comes to the national team has the duty to give his whole life for the national team. The coach never betrays the players by leaving them out of the intention. Thank God, now our coach is a straightforward person. He and Mourinho are honest. I hope that the future generations will train and play in such a way that they will fill our place.
Azmoun emphasized: I have been playing Fix for 10 years now. I didn’t experience the Junior World Cup but they are so good that they are playing at this level now. Anyone can play better than me and Tarami and even Biranvand.
