Dragan Skočić Appreciation Thread!

[Iranianarsenal11]

My biggest concern is what happens after this World Cup. I posted a while back that most of our current squad are going to be 30+ by the next World Cup and we have a limited amount of young players coming through. I want a manager who is going to bring though and slowly implement these younger players. I am not convinced that Skocic is the man to do that at all.

Absolutely.. That is my concern too.. I think after the world cup is when we can find a new "big" manager who can build us back to the top.

Like I said, as much as I dislike Dragan Skocic, I just don't see him getting fired with one loss...

Ya he accepted a position no one wanted...not just with Khooneh Be Khooneh but also with TM. Now after 1 single loss some want him out...how convenient! The guy bet on TM and this is his reward. We truly deserve a Wilmots!

Ok shall we start with the positives.....

No TM legionaires respect him
He cannot motivate them - Ansarifard does all the motivational speeches
His Training Sessions are awful
Everything he does is with a short term outlook - what youngsters has he introduced?
HE has been in charge over 2 years - do you know our style?
He cannot pick a consistent line up
Dalal Bazi in these lists - E.g. Faraji
Horrendous performances covered by results (Taremi)
Accompanied by awful starting line ups (you want to go to a WC with Hajsafi, Ahmad, Kamal in midfield?)
Shall i Continue...

The loss was just the last straw that broke the camel’s back. After the WCQ ”success” in Bahrain hame fekr mikardim ye khabari hast( i’m guilty myself). However it soon become obvious during the 3rd round how clueless this Dallal is regarding tactics. His only test was against Korea, and he failed miserably both times.

[Iran_19]

Put Iran in other group instead of Aussie and do you honestly think we could have survived to qualify directly with Sko as head coach? Highly doubt...

Skocic isn't the responsible of our young players not living the expectations. From reza shekari, to taha shariati, even ghaedi or ezza, they all have a good excuse to completly fk their career. Even CQ trust Torabi a lot in NT, what was the result?

That’s not what I’m saying. I am saying that soon we are going to have build a new team/even most of the squad and that I don’t think Skocic is the right man for that. After this World Cup it would be good to have someone in place with a long term project. Skocic was brought in as a stop gap and his results have defied expectations and he has stayed in the job longer than we thought.

^so estili says that Sardar didnt join the most recent team training session due to Fatigue..? and he will join up tomorrow and monday..?

maybe he is just dealing with a slight head cold and general fatigue..? or likely there maybe more to his absence not being disclosed..?

he didnt play all that hard last match ... but not really due to fault of his own ... he was well isolated uptop there were not much more that he coulda done to help our dire game situation..? i dont imagine he woulda been too pleased to be subbed out either..? especially again considering the game situation.. that certainly was yet another retarded seeming, head scratcher decision from eskoocher on top of many more from him that day..!!

Given how little Sardar played for BL thus far maybe Skocic subbed him out and gave him a rest day for load management purposes...he hasn't looked like Sardar at all this year and seeing how BL is easing him I think it's justifiable for him to have a maintenance day.

I'm not a huge fan of Skocic, he has a lot of flaws, but please can anyone tell me how hiring some random "big named" manager is gonna actually give a sh*t about our football in a span of 2-3 months?
All it's going to do is divide our football more... Guys like Leo Jardim don't give a crap about Iran, they just want lots of money in a short period of time. Do you think they know anything about PGPL? big LOL...
Plus Iran is not "expected" to go to the round of 16. That's just rubbish... Rather, going to the round of 16 would be exceeding expectations. 75% of the teams in the World Cup are better than us, and 75% maybe even generous... We need lots of luck and as much preparations as possible. IFF needs to step it up but unfortunately we all know how useless they are...

Spot on post!

Lol you're going to ignore that CQ drew with SYRIA in Tehran once we qualified? Losing to Korea in Seoul is much more reasonable that drawing to bombed out Syria at home.
The hysteria right now about Skocic is unbearable. Iranian fans are going to divide this team before we even have a chance at the WC.
What happened to 80 Million People, One Nation, One Heartbeat? You all forgot it now that CQ left? Did he teach us nothing about unity in times of adversity?

Syria: CQ drew twice vs Syria in 2018WCQ. The first game doesn't even count as it was played on mud in Malaysia. Second game was 2-2 in Azadi( 93th minute Soma equalizer). That Syrian team almost beat Australia in the playoffs( hit the post in the 120 minute) and would probably have qualified for the WC if they had played Honduras afterwards. They were much stronger back then.

Hysteria is justified. We won't have a chance with Skocic in the WC.

CQ taught us that with big coach anything is possible. But we have not learned our lesson and are on the verge of bringing a nobody like Skocic to the WC.

[peiman92]

Did you Read my Di Matteo example? Then you have the answer. Also Skocic Got more points against the small teams than CQ and all the others. So what? You cant compare result in a time span of 10 years, betweeen different teams, different players and different circumstances (players missing, already qualified and so on)

Did you read what i wrote about the smaller teams?

Lebanon: CQ lost 1-0 away to Lebanon in 2014WCQ. That Lebanon team almost managed to beat S.Korea twice in the same qualifiers. They won 2-1 in one game and had a 1-0 lead until the 97th minute in the other game.
We whooped their asses 4-0 later in Tehran Tehran during the same qualifiers. Lebanon was much stronger back then.

Syria: CQ drew twice vs Syria in 2018WCQ. The first game doesn't even count as it was played on mud in Malaysia. Second game was 2-2 in Azadi( 93th minute Soma equalizer). That Syrian team almost beat Australia in the playoffs( hit the post in the 120 minute) and would probably have qualified for the WC if they had played Honduras afterwards. They were much stronger back then.

Iraq: Iraqi team was great during 2015-2019. They drew in Tehran with both Japan and Australia during 2018WCQ. After covid they have been absolutely terrible.

Smaller teams in asia have gotten worse since CQ left. Our team basically still consists of the same players as under CQ. The difference is that many of them are now at their peak, which makes our team a lot better.
With this in mind, the only real competiton was against S.Korea. And Skocic failed, big time.

[ABalls]

In 2007ACQ and 2018WCQ TM had also already qualified before the second match vs Korea. We still didn't lose against them.

Iran-Korea is never a friendly match, no matter the circumstances.

Lol you're going to ignore that CQ drew with SYRIA in Tehran once we qualified? Losing to Korea in Seoul is much more reasonable that drawing to bombed out Syria at home.

The hysteria right now about Skocic is unbearable. Iranian fans are going to divide this team before we even have a chance at the WC.

Did Estili's reaction to the strange absence of the test in training / disputes in the national team increase?

یرThe manager of the Iranian national football team presented a strange reason for the absence of Sardar Azmoun in today's training of this team!

Hamid Estili said about the conditions of Mashhad hosting the match between the national football teams of Iran and Lebanon: I must thank the officials of Khorasan Razavi province who worked extremely well from the beginning of our arrival and had a considerable host. Thanks to the hotel and airport officials. The condition of the training ground was also good. Today we visited Imam Reza (AS) Stadium and the ground conditions were good. I hope this field rolls on the day of the game to get better.

🔸️The manager of the Iranian national football team said about the condition of the players: "All the players are in good and ideal condition." Their corona test is negative. Of course, one or two players will join us late, but I hope the team will train with a full squad in two days.

لیAstili answered about the reason for the absence of the test captain in today's training: he did not train due to some fatigue. I hope that all players will be available to us from tomorrow and Monday.
