U23 Asian Championship; Quarter Final; Iran - Japan [22-01-2016]

Whatever happened it's the past now, time to move on. A quote which I found interesting for in particular us Team Melli fans.

We should stand united and support our team once again, because the WCQ 2018 will be an incredibly tough ride.

[MR.ESTESNAII]

The entire coaching staff will blame Carlos Q. For not taking too much vacation and not paying them enough attention. Yet again we proved that we can only progress with a foreign coach to teach these players confidence.

Actually it was like this. Apparently Mayeli was asked for his opinion on the TM Omid coach and when Khakpour was appointed, he decided to hire Mayeli as manager.

If I'm honest, the problem started when Mansourian resigned two years ago. We changed too many coaches and used too many players. In the 2014 Asian Games, we have used loads of players who were not eligable in the Olympics only because the officials expected a medal in this meaningless tournament. Same in the U22 Asian Cup two years ago that was meaningless aswell.

how dare for Khakpour to say "this team lost due to his lack of knowledge". no shit amigo!!! really? this is the best you can do, if you knew you could not take this job or where not ready for it why take it, you should have leaved it for someone else!!

I believe this was all MK idea to put Khakpour in charge, but the real coach was MK in the background telling Khakpour what to do, this was a political way as no one wanted to see MK as the headcoach!!

Khakpour got thrown under the bus by his master MK

Their issues with China goes back centuries. Over the years, Japanese have totally reinvented themselves and doing business with their companies is a great experience. They are honorable, transparent, have integrity and will go out of their way to keep a good relationship ongoing. Totally the opposite of the Chinese companies.

I am not talking about how they run their businesses. I deal with both Chinese and Japanese on daily basis. The Japanese treat other Asians as second class, similar to how we see Arabs. I was curious how was Keano's interaction with his Japanese counterparts regarding other Asian ethnicity.

[OFFSIDE_1]

So now, do we care more about how we played vs South korea and won 1-0 to go to the world cup , or do we care that we played amazing against Japan but lost 3-0 and missed out on Rio?

i.e, are we still criticizing the way CQ is getting results?

no, we have one troll who is still scratching his head wondering how the Japanese coaching crew outcoached and outsmarted mayeli kohan. Afterall, in the 90's this bread basket coach of ours who throws words around as if he's tossing salad, singlehandedly blew away the world with his knowledge of the game.

Seriously, for the last time, DEFENSE COUNTS. You win the game on the DEFENSIVE side and the offensive side. People that are critical of CQ because supposedly his strategy is too boring should switch sports. I suggest you start watching the harlem globetrotters. They are entertaining, and ofcourse, rarely play defense.

We now have to wait another god damn 4 years.

What was their view point on dealing with other Asian ethnicity? Let's say a Chinese person.

People say Iran plays with the most gheyrat in Asia, what does that even mean? What substantial value does it have? So like how do you know Japan or Korea doesn't play with more gheyrat? I feel like this is an excuse we use to forget about our painfully obvious mediocrity.

Only Iranians can understand what that means.

[PersianLegion]

Honestly they refuse to talk trash behind other people, at least all these Japanese I met, did. I remember at a point I asked them questions about South Korea/China hostility with the Japanese and he refrained from making comments or downgrading those 2 nations, he kept on saying that he has nothing against these countries...

Not to mention the cuteness of their ladies:





LOOL sorry had to mix in some eye candies to lower the football tension.


Nonetheless Isn't it interesting that never ever after any of our football match losses against the Japanese teams, our football fans, even the wildest ones, do not resort to Japan-bashing rants and slurs?

We always practice that behavior upon our losses against any Arab teams, Both Korea's teams, Uzbekistan etc. However it's always been easier for us to swallow the defeats against the Japanese teams at all levels, even Futsal. Who is the smartest member who has the answer for this?

There is no hostility toward Uzbekistan, Korean teams or even good Arab teams (for example Oman). The bitter taste is only when we lose undeserving, specially if our opponents play anti-football (time wasting, slurs, grass rolling, fighting, ...). We need to take politics out of football/sport. At least learn from these Japanese who you adore! We should stop hating those who hate us. We can just ignore them.

Shoot Newspaper "Dear minister, please keep away from football."

No, not really. They're the ones to enter the pitch at the end of the day and play. Most of them are money loving bacheh soosools. Only a select few deserve better.

TW jaan,

That is an unfair and generalized comment to address to "Most of the team" They did their best, Japan was just too good of a TEAM to beat. I capitalized the word "team" just to emphasize the main reason behind their victory and overall continuous success in most of their aspects, be it social life, business, economy etc. They work great and united as a team!

[mahestan]

Japan will destroy its opponents and win the title for sure. Such an organized and disciplined team. I have worked with several Japanese people (Sound engineers and musicians), and I gotta admit that I have never seen such disciplined, dedicated and genuine people in my entire life, so classy and honest. I remember one of them I would force him to take break, drink coffee etc. Yet he would thank me and decline the offer, even though he knew he would still get paid for the break times.

Marry a Japanese girl!
