According to Mehr reporter, Vahid Shamsaei said this Tuesday evening at the send-off ceremony of the Iranian national football team to participate in the Asian Nations Cup: Futsal has won a prize in the year when we did not win any prize in the AFC. We deserve the best facilities and despite the difficult conditions of the Football Federation, we expect. We are the soldiers of this country. One day I was a player of the national team and today I am the head coach of the national team.
Regarding his prediction of Iran’s results in the Football Nations Cup, he said: I have many friends in the national football team and I think we have the potential to be on the podium. Qalanewi also has a clear resume and our heart’s desire is the success of the national team. We also have successful legionnaires and domestic players of good quality.
The head coach of the national futsal team explained about his team’s situation: I have said this many times and now I am asking. We have three military players and because of the national team, they were able to get a permit and play for three months. The federation and the military must know that the priority is the country. Permission should be issued for them, who are part of the national team. I told everyone and now I’m telling Mr. Taj and the armed forces, we should have our four legionnaires in April. Except Hossein Tayibi, three others have service problems.
In the end, Shamsaei said about the heavy defeat in the second friendly game against Russia despite the victory in the first game: We have to test all the players in the friendly game. I served the national team for 20 months and we were able to beat Russia, which is higher than us both in terms of resume and honor. In the second game, we lost our physicality, which we need to fix. If we had won the second game, we would have complained to ourselves.
