Our team is a great team but it doesn&#8217;t mean the other Asian teams, especially Japan, are low level teams, they are also good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was clear that we\u2019ve shown a fantastic performance and proved to everybody that we\u2019re the best team in Asia. In fact, there were good reasons behind (our triumph) as you\u2019ve seen. We had the top goal scorer, MVP and the team with the least goals conceded. That shows that our team is a little far ahead in Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nazemarsharieh also attributed the victory to the aid provided by the team\u2019s technical group, saying: \u201cI am also proud of my colleagues in the technical group who have helped us, supporting each other like brothers. Whenever we have any problems, they would advise us.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The 48-year-old head coach revealed that Iran has begun to focus on the future generation of players with their eyes on the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur plan began two years ago, which told us to pay attention to our youth, keeping them busy with development and grow them as potential national team players, even though we were ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we have already trained a really good youth team, and they will be our main players in 2020. So you\u2019ll be sure to watch a revamped team then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos: AFC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFC &#8211; TAIPEI, Head coach Mohammad Nazemasharieh was a picture of joy after Islamic Republic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":30774,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,84,88,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c17-asian-competitions","category-c47-featured-news","category-c15-futsal","category-c13-team-melli-news"],"views":1254,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30773"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30775,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30773\/revisions\/30775"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
