TM-News-Vol. 6

[Ostad_Goosfand]

In addition to having a solid game plan, we need solid psychological preparation against Bahrain and Iraq. They have always seemed to have TM's number, not from a tactical standpoint, but by getting under TM player's skin. They will pull their usual tactics to get our players hot and angry, hoping to get us to commit fouls, get yellow/red cards and give away penalties. That is their best hope for winning against us, and we need to be ready for this. The greatest example of this on the world stage was Zidane's meltdown at the WC final. He/France would have won that game had he kept his cool (though the Italian player was saying some horrible things to get him to react).

Yup they have our number, Iraq for sure. When was last time we had a good win vs Iraq? I remember 2015 AC elim, barely tying them in AC2019, and 2-1 loss for this WCQ. They dominate us and we need a beefy midfield to fight back (ezza pls)

As for Bahrain, they will for sure go for a tie so I hope we don’t play them like cowards. No need for 2 defensive midfielders, go for the 4-1-4-1 with Amiri up there with his high work rate. It’s not like our wingers and forwards can’t track back, so I hope we don’t see hajsafi as a “defensive midfielder”.

Will we be able to play in our home in front of our fans for our home games?

I doubt it man, with the rate Covid is in Iran. Better than neutral Arab field I suppose

this is why u dont sack a coach that won for you in 8 years and knew all the tricks in the book. changing the coaching staff every year or 2 will just be doing the same mistake over and over

Guys we need to go game by game. First, Hong Kong and Cambodia. Second, Bahrain and Iraq.

When is the exact date for WCQs?

Against Honk Kong maybe 50% chance
Against Iraq and Bahrein 100 % Chance

Guys Bahrain is in good shape. 3-1 against both Lebanon and UAE. I think the match against them could be even more difficult than the Iraq match.

Reading from UAE NT recent results they are in a football turmoil, so Bahrain winning them and against Lebanon is normal
UAE 3 - Tajekistan 2
UAE 1 - Uzbekistan 2
UAE 2 - Qatar 4
UAE 0 - Iraq 2
UAE 3- Yemen 0
UAE 0 - Vietnam 1
UAE 1 - Thailand 2
So I am not underestimating Bahrain who beat this UAE side and still say that they were always somehow a difficult side for us and always gave us a headache... but we can beat them I am sure and also it is time for us to beat Iraq and break their curse and qualify to the next round inshalla... We can definitely do it and Hope for Iraq and Bahrain tie and things are up.

CQ might be available again if his Colombia record continues like this

^^ The King will not return , lets put our faith in Skocic

^^ The King will not return , lets put our faith in Skocic

And I don't think he should.
Unless IRIB reporters publicly apologize to him for all the none sense they said about him in the immediate months of his departure.
Even then, I wish him a more civilized environment than ours (I am sad to say that though). CQ is now in his mid 60ies, 64-65 or 66 yrs old, he really doesnt need to shorten his life further with all the moronic stress IRIB, his fellow coaches from IPL and of course the clueless morons from Trabiat Badani gave him in the past.
........IMO.

I love CQ to death, but I’m with closing the chapter on CQ for now. We have started the Skocic era and I’m looking forward to how it goes. Also we are in a do or die situation and Skocic has already started his job. If we make to the final round of WCQ’ers and qualify, he should coach until the end of WC.
