For goodness sake, is it possible that we play Aussies or Japan in a friendly game instead of Korea for once...
Can't believe we haven't played a single game against Australia yet since their arrival in 2006.Quote:

im worried about our High Press vs SK...!! we left a ton of space behind our defenders often vs Syria..!!
i fear a more composed and quick countering side in mold of SK could expose us badly with balls over the top or though balls..!!
WM apparently has said that he is going to be playing Korea away with the same formation and overall game tactics..!!?
hopefully there was a bit of mind-games involved in such statement....!!? if not... i expect a high scoring, but relatively close encounter...!
Probably not since JAP and AUS are too cheap to pay for the honor to play Iran.Quote:

I'm predicting a 3-1 win for Iran :)
In other fun news: Turkey beat France 2-0 in Euro qualifiers! TM players plying their trade in the Turkish league chose well!
I am almost confident that should we play the same high-pressured football as how we did against Syria, it will backfire against the super fast south Korean side.Quote:

F*ck sakes, got meetings at work all throughout the game.. -_-
Iran will wear White kit, South Korea will wear Red kit.
Turks are lucky to had such an intelligent leader like Ataturk who stick Turkey to Europe and progress (compared to other middle eastern countries). They playing Teams like France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands where we have to "kale bezanim" with Syria, Uzbekistan, Iraq and co.Quote:

^ that's why you block your calendar off with a special "customer meeting" before they can send you an invite for a meeting
Ryuji Sato will referee the friendly between 🇰🇷 South Korea and #Iran 🇮🇷 Assistant referees: Hiroshi Yamauchi & Isao Nishihashi
I predict an easy 4-0 victory for Iran.
When was the last time that the Koreana won against us? I remember in AC 2011 they won after extra time and not during 90 min. During Brancos time we had a friendly with them in 2006 that we lost 2-0. So it has been 13 years since they won against us?
Yeah I was too stupid for that literally checked the time & date for the game today lol.Quote:

That may be true but he soon learned that there are some fundamental gaps in Iran football and he was realistic in the system he designed and the decipline he brought to the team. In fact on a few occasions he changed the system to attacking style and was very successful. The possession in the game with turkey was amazing despite the loss.Quote:

This game more than anything else will just show the style of tactics he employs against stronger opposition. Will he take risks or go conservative?
TM looked fit enough to sustain such vs Syria, however it was a Friendly with [B]6+ subs, and it was somewhat weakened Syria @ Azadi, officiated by an irani ref..!!Quote:

besides, I suppose you could drill and whip TM players into Shape and Fitness to sustain such a high energy all out pressing and attacking formation and tactics in an official match too....but If and When TM faces a Quality Opponent then they probably wont be rushed into making silly errant passes, left N right all too easily a la Syria and if you over-commit they hit you back on a dangerous counter swiftly..... remember what happened vs Japan in the AC Semi's...??
Lets see how WM's all-out attacking and high pressing tactics pan out vs SK on Tuesday...? then we get a better idea if TM player possess the composure and fitness to run up on koreans relentlessly like they did vs Syria ...? lets not be oblivious to the fact that even the Syrian's held their own well, until they conceded the opening goal and then failed misrably to respond and got progressively sloppier as the game went by...!
i observed same ...!! especially MFders and Attackers seemed to have been given the go-ahead to switch places as they see fit and support each other on attack..!! but when we lost the ball and we had to track back and press the opponent in wave or as a whole the CQ Influence and Defensive and Pressing Organization was unmistakably Evident and the combination of the two made for very exciting and fun to watch overall performance from our boys vs Syria..!!:cool:Quote:

Our defense is going to be the main concern. Even in the game with Syria there were so many lapses. On the right side Ramin has actually become a total deficit. He looks nervous, his positioning is off, passing is poor and in general tries to do everything the hard way ... he is going to be owned by koreans. Amiri should also sit on the bench and let Torabi start.
A lot of people in here severely underestimating South Korea.

For a while now I’ve felt that Ramin is probably our biggest weakness. He is absolutely horrible at handling pressure and we’ve seen that exploited so many times. His positives are decent delivery and a willingness to make runs forward but he is horrid in buildup play and defensive positioning
