Mizan News Agency – Mojtaba Khorshidi، سرپرست Iran National Football Team In an interview with the TV program “StadiumHe talked about the early promotion to the World Cup, as well as the situation of some players, an excerpt of which you can read below.
* We had hard days. We planned the games for every moment, because if we gave even one draw in Bahrain, the rest of our games would be ceremonial. Everyone knows that the current federation was young and with its many problems, it was able to do well. Azizi Khadem was from 6 am to 12 pm. All the departments worked hard while the technical staff and players made a commendable effort and we finally reached the World Cup.
* It is no exaggeration to say that we had the cheapest promotion to the World Cup. I am only talking about the technical staff, how much they were different from previous periods. At the same time, we recorded the fastest national team to reach the World Cup.
* With the help of the President and Sajjadi, the rewards were paid. Money will be credited to everyone’s account within the next day or two.
* The strategy of the technical staff is to win all the games, even the message that the player who did not play is not inferior to the players on the field. It cannot be said that we are playing with reserve players now, because they are young. If the same youngsters play, we are doomed to win the next games. We do not feel at all that we climbed, because we want to win the next 3 games.
* Mehdi Taremi experienced very difficult conditions in Turkey. Instead of settling in Istanbul, he went to a city called Dalaman because of the weather. Tarmi even said that this city has nothing and I am afraid to eat here and get a corona. We flew for him, but he traveled 240 km from Dalaman to Ankara, but did not reach the flight we had prepared for him at 10 pm. We were supposed to get a private jet for him, but he was not allowed to board the flights due to weather problems in Turkey.
* We tried to bring Tarmi back several times, but we couldn’t. Then we got help from an airline, and this important thing happened by the order of the President and the Minister of Sports that Tarmi travels from Antalya to Tehran, but because he was traveling from Dalaman to Antalya for 6 hours, he did not fly. After that, Meraj Airlines was supposed to return Mehdi from Turkey, but Tarmi said that you would pay one billion tomans for me to return at 12 o’clock at night, but I have a ticket here at 11:45 and I can return with the same flight.
* I thanked Tarmi, because he said that it is a pity to spend one billion of the treasury money for my return in this way. Tarmi arrived in Tehran at 3:30 in the morning with difficult conditions and was immediately quarantined and you saw that he also helped us.
* Sardar Azmoun, Nourollahi, Haj Safi, Majid Hosseini and Ghaedi were left out in last night’s game. Our medical staff is following up and if the conditions are right, they will return and Skocic will be released. I thank all those who worked hard for the national team.
* We have a list according to which all letters are sent at the same time. If Zenit claimed that other European clubs did not give us players, then why did they give us players? Anything can be said, but it is not easy to prove.
* Last night, Porto wanted to bring Tarmi back to Portugal as soon as we climbed, which Skocic opposed. AAK club has the same request, but Zenit club announced two nights ago that the test is positive and he can not come to Iran.
* All I know is that the test captain test is positive. His test must be negative for him to be allowed to fly. We even complained to FIFA about this, but there is nothing we can do when his test is positive.
