Shamsaii: We will participate in the Asian Cup with strength / I would have liked to be in the same group with Japan and Thailand!

According to a Fars sports reporter, Iran’s national futsal team has been grouped with Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and Lebanon in Group C of the 2022 Asian Cup.

In this regard, Vahid Shamsaii, the head coach of the national team, said in an interview with a Fars sports reporter: “We will participate in the Asian Cup with strength and it does not matter in which group or which team we play, it is important to name Iran and raise my country’s flag.” Is.

He added: “Iran is the flagship of Asian futsal and has been able to play in Asia and the world for many years, but the issue is that Asian futsal is progressing and we should not sleep in the wind that we were Asian or third world champions. If we think like this, we will definitely We have a problem.

The head coach of the national futsal team said: “Everyone knows that youthfulness has not been done in the national team during these years.” Since my presence, I have promised that the technical staff is looking for youth. Regardless of the outcome, I know it is hard work, but we have to continue on this path for the future and the World Games.

He further said: the football federation should also continue to help the national team by providing facilities and holding preparatory games. Currently, there is a good relationship between the technical staff, the federation and the futsal committee, and I hope this cooperation will continue.

Shamsaii said about Iran’s futsal team with teams from Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and Lebanon: “By the way, I talked to Mohammad Hashemzadeh, the head coach of the Indonesian futsal team, and told him that we might team up with you.” Indonesia has made a lot of progress in the last 5 years with its Japanese coach and now the same players are Hashemzadeh’s students. They have not lost in the last two tournaments and they are a very good team. Lebanon is also a physical team and there have always been Iranian players in the Lebanese league, but as I said, it does not matter to us which teams we are in. If it were up to me, I would like to be in a group with Japan and Thailand.

He continued: “In Asia and even in the world, names no longer play, but in today’s futsal, effort, up-to-date facilities and, most importantly, preparatory games are important.” The national team in the World Cup could hardly cross the Uzbek barrier and it is no longer as easy as it used to be.

“The whole lottery depends on luck,” he said of the draw. “I have said many times that it is hard work.” Because we set foot in a generation that was really good. I told all the players to think about the championship and not to think about anything else.

The head coach of the national futsal team also said about the preparation games: “We talked to many teams for the preparation match.” We have to consider everything. The head of the national team is looking for coordination for the preparation games, especially the match against Argentina. We should all join hands and help the national team succeed.
