Qatar will play Brazil in a friendly prior to copa america

Bro he is going to PSG afterwards as an the club has an affiliation with PSG through Qatari owners... Maybe Benatia too...

Benatia is staying in Qatar, he wants his daughters to grow up in a muslim country, he is nearing the end of his career, he will stay there make money retire and enjoy life

They received disastrous news, though. Their next big thing Nakajima transferred to the Qatari league at just 24. The transfer fee is said to be around 35 million euros, which shows how talented he is. Many top league clubs were after him. Btw, he didn't play the Asian Cup due to an injury.

Have you guys seen this classy act by the Japanese

There's a reason they're the most successful team in Asia, there's definitely a lot we can learn from them.

Want to know another fun thing, in the Iran vs. Japan match, Japan had over 20 analysts analyzing the match, breaking down bits and scraps of the match to see where Japan could improve. Want to know how many we had? Guess! 1, only 1! And that’s 1 analysts is a huge thanks to CQ, had he not been there, we would have no analyst!!!

One thing I noticed about Team Melli matches compared to other teams playing each other is, the level of intensity. TM plays high intensity and forces opponents to raise theirs also. Other teams when playing, they play a much more subtle game. Allows players to play their own normal game and not on the edge compared to matches vs us. Great example for us was Majid Hosseini games in this tournament. For all of us who have followed him this season in the Turkish league, we can all say how comfortable he looks playing his role and always seems very poised. on the contrary in this tournament he seemed over the edge which led to some crucial mistakes.

Agree.
Also feel they would be be able to prioritize and save their energy if they had more friendlies with a whole range of teams regularly. Experience would help them with this problem, they are not at peace, if they could focus on the game only and do things one at a time instead of being bombarded by their emotions, to do list once they get back to Iran,they would save energy. Japan did it.

This changes based on our opponent. We were even with Japan in intensity but no matter who our coach is I notice that versus European/African teams they press us ridiculously hard. The first 15 minutes of Iran-Morocco and Iran-Nigeria were us getting pressed to death. When I say European teams I mean teams at the Bosnia/Sweden level.
