Before the game, veteran coach Carlos Queiroz said that Iran would
use the match against Super Eagles to send a message to the World on Iranian
football.
And moments after the barren draw, Queiroz mocked Stephen Keshi
that he has no player who plays in Chelsea, CSKA or Liverpool noting that
Iranian players played with concentration, love for their country and good
attitude.
Carlos Queiroz and Keshi
‘’We remain one nation that came to the World Cup without the
conditions of others. We have no big names in big clubs but we play with
determination, concentration and good attitude”, he said at the post match
conference.
He said that he was satisfied with his team’s performance against
African Champions Nigeria and a team that is loaded with big names playing in
big clubs.
‘’I am happy with the players especially my defence line. I know
that many people are not happy because they are used to seeing many goals. But
for us in Iran, it is better to go home happy with one point obtained from
African champions that are blessed with players in the best clubs. But one
thing I assure you is that in eight years time, Iranian football will not be
the same again.
I don’t want to think about the next two games involving Iran and
Argentina and Bosnia. Let me savour this point. Step by step, I will come up
with strategies on how to handle them. For now, we are happy. We are
fulfilled”, Queiroz said.
