With Carlos Queiroz there were a few games I played in my normal position, or I played as a midfielder or I played as a winger and we had some tactics for that. I\u2019m happy to play in any position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach coach has his own program, his own tactics and we respect all of them. Our new coach is doing well for us. All over the world, each coach has his own tactics and we have to respect that and play the way they want, that\u2019s the most important thing,\u201d Ansarifard stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur team, we all have played together, most of us, for seven or eight years,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know the movement of each other and it makes it easier to read our positions. We have to continue like this and it doesn\u2019t matter who plays, we play for our flag and our country and we will give every time 100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a great game for us and a good result,\u201d said Ansarifard of the win over Hong Kong. \u201cI think for the first game we did well and we have to continue like this because all the teams now in our group are strong. Hong Kong earned our respect, they are a really good team but I think we were better and we deserved the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the future it doesn\u2019t matter who we play, we have to get the three points. That\u2019s the most important thing,\u201d Ansarifard concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasnim &#8211; HONG KONG, Iran national football team striker Karim Ansarifard says that they have&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":37498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,84,92,89,93,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c17-asian-competitions","category-c47-featured-news","category-c21-international-football-news","category-c16-iranian-legionairs","category-c22-players-spotlight","category-c13-team-melli-news"],"views":1744,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37497","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=37497"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37499,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37497\/revisions\/37499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
