Vietnam was pretty speedy, I could def see milad starting.

Will be an interesting clash against the Southeast Asian Champions. We never met them before, so
its an unknown opponent for us. Vietnam had an unbeaten year 2018 which is impressive. They played
an open and nice game against Iraq, specially in the first half and deserved a draw. Their strength seem
to be triangle-short passes but they have hard times dealing with long-balls, crosses and any other situation
which force them to air-battles. They nearly lost all air-battles to Iraq. Since we are traditionally were strong
in Set-Pieces, Corners and scoring headers we should have the advantage on our side.
To deal with their speedy forwards i can see Milad coming for Haysafi. I would also prefer
Vouria over Ramin for this game. Given the fact that Cheshmi is 2 heads and sholders taller than the Vietnamese
Team i would give him the start in this game next to PAG.
Moreover i would rest Dejagah and give Ghoddos the starting opportunity. This would be my Lineup:
----------------Beiranvand-----------------
-------PAG------------------Cheshmi------
Vouria---------------------------------Milad
---------------Ebrahimi---------------------
Torabi---------Ghoddus--------K.Ansarifard
---------Azmoun-------Taremi---------------

^ Cheshmi would fall over his legs while trying to deal with speedy forwards...

I have only 2 things to say:

We are the underdogs

+

We are superior. We always were.

Life is full of contradictions and nothing is bad about that.

Since we are the underdogs we should use ARJ in the last 20 minutes to tie the game or perhaps help us win.

... and diz jaan, remember that we are the underdogs so this could be the second match of only three. Do you really want to miss watching it live?

is there a place where you can watch the recorded full game without giving you the score?? every website gives you the result on the bottom

**Iran_19** · 01-09-2019, 01:44 PM

I think Milad and Ghoddos will start this game instead of Amiri and Hajsafi.

LOL bro cool down. Leave the Typical Iranian mentality !! If we don't win against Vietnam we don't deserve Asian Cup.
