We will try to concentrate on winning the game,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMohammed (Iraq coach) was a professional player in Iranian football, and we respect him a lot. I have known Iraqi football since the days of the late striker Ahmed Radhi and Adnan Dirjal. We had many face-to-face matches with Iraq, so we know them very well and they know us too. I hope the best team wins,&#8221; the Iranian coach stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIraq deserves to be here in the quarterfinals. The team is very good technically and tactically, also physically. We have a plan for this match based on our analysis of the team and of course they would have done the same,&#8221; Marfavi concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasnim &#8211; TASHKENT, Iran U-20 football team&#8217;s head coach Samad Marfavi warned of a tough&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":48429,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,175,84,92,169,86,133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c17-asian-competitions","category-asian-cup","category-c47-featured-news","category-c21-international-football-news","category-iran-u20","category-c13-team-melli-news","category-c14-youth-teams"],"views":793,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48428","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=48428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48430,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48428\/revisions\/48430"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
