WC22 TM's preparation and friendlies

[Farzadfarhangni]

majedi is known cq supporter.
when he was in ss and bronko and cq
had their war (as pp supporter cq was right and
bronko was jelous ex wife) which victim
was seyed jalal and to this day
i say seyed jalal not being there
cost us thejapan game.
MAJEDI IS BIG CQ SUPPORTER.
and his interview basicly he was
making skocic looking bad.

maybe majedi is negotiating
cq friendlies.
anyway keep in mined if there is
coaching change cq only needs 1
month with this team.

One month is all that any coach is going to get. Two weeks in June, 8 or 9 days in Sept. and less than a week right before the world cup. And we want to conduct 5 or 6 friendlies in this time too!!!

None of that two week camp here followed by a four week camp there... Getting players in tip top shape and practicing tactical formations for 2 hours everyday followed by an hour on free kicks and corners. But it is the same for everyone. And Iran is more used to it than anyone with players flying in, hold one practice and then play a WC qualifier. Of course, this takes away from the cohesiveness of the teams and I expect that this WC, every team is going to play at less than their full potential because of this issue. Just like when our players flew in for two qualifying games, our second game was always better than our first.

Another comment by Majedi I didn't like. He said they still have to wait and see if Skocic is ok with the friendlies.
IQ - he has been in the country for 19 days - why don't you ask him?!!!!!

No friendlies finalized, 40 days left until first FIFA-day.
At this point, we’re only going to hear excuses from the IFF.

We went from Kamranifars ”6 friendlies” to Majedis ”4-5 friendlies” planned for the 2 FIFA-windows.

In the end we’ll play New Zealand, Costa Rica and a team from Africa.
The rest of the WC-teams will play 6 games while we get 3 games.

3rd time in a row that we qualify for the WC, but we are still making the same mistakes.

Sorry but Costa Rica is very strong team.

what do you guys think of Naderi at LB?

[oracle]

what do you guys think of Naderi at LB?

he will add alot to our offense his crosses are best lb we might have
but
in defense we will have problems wih him.

vahid amiri and then norafkan are our best lb
shoja khalilzad is our best rb(base his dominance first 40 minutes vs s.k in korea soul.)

[peiman92]

Sorry but Costa Rica is very strong team.

It seems you didn't understand my post at all...

[peiman92]

what do you guys think of Naderi at LB?

He deserves a chance. Right now our best option is V.Amiri.

[Nokhodi]

what do you guys think of Naderi at LB?

As others have said, good offensively, but a complete liability defensively. Won't be helpful when we need to maintain shape.

So here's what I think will happen with friendlies:

June friendlies
===============
New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica [either all, 2 out of 3 or just New Zealand]

Qatar or Argentina (if Qatar pays, if not FFIRI will replace Argentina with Qatar as opponent for friendly match).

September friendlies
====================
Possibly Canada and Panama/Honduras (in Canada)
If not, Sanat Naft Abadan, Sorkhabi XI

I really don't understand, why not Albania instead of New Zealand!!! or friendly with Rep of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon on non-FIFA dates in MAY???!!!

The teams you mentioned won't get any of their European club players on the non-FIFA dates. Clubs will fight that any day and they'd win.

BTW. Peru is most likely going to play New Zealand on 5 June in Barcelona. Morocco pulled out of the friendly. It seems New Zealand might also play Australia in a friendly in June as well.

New Zealand would be a good friendly for reserve players however since this campaign TM is limited to maximum 6 friendly matches on FIFA dates it's best not to play NZ, fans should strongly push the media and FFIRI to setup friendly with Albania on 2 June or 13 June, alternatively Iceland on 10 June (and if Canada Trip won't happen then Iceland on 24 September) and last option Estonia on 5 June or 12 June. Even friendly with Japan would be really good.

I also think that Afshin Ghotbi as Assistant Coach and Omid Namazi as Analyst and Steve Beitashour as Defender would benefit TM's clash with USA.
