Foolad not allowed to make mistake against Al Hilal: Majid Jalali
February 21, 2023 - 19:16
TEHRAN - Iranian football expert and former coach of Foolad team, Majid Jalali, believes that the Khuzestan-based team should avoid any mistakes against their rivals in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.
Foolad kick-started their AFC Champions League knockout campaign with a win against Saudi Arabian Al Faisaly 1-0 on Monday. The Iranian side will face another Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal in Doha’s Al Jonoub Stadium on Thursday. “Foolad played well and earned a good win,” said Jalali in his interview with Tehran Times. “Foolad didn’t enter the game against the Al Faisaly in their best form. In fact, Javad Nekounam’s side aimed to make up for their poor form in the domestic league, where they are struggling to keep pace with their rivals. So, they needed to focus on getting the result in the one-off match against the Saudi side. I think they did it in the best way possible,” added the former coach of Foolad. The reigning champions from Saudi Arabia saw off Shabab Al Ahli of the UAE 3-1 in their last-16 tie at Qatar's Al Janoub Stadium, as they chase a fifth continental title.
Speaking about Foolad’s match against Al-Hilal, Jalali said: “The most important thing is that they should perform their result-oriented tactics again, but with the highest concentration. Players should avoid risky movements against the giants and should do their job with no mistakes. Taking these issues into account, Foolad have chances to beat their powerful rivals, however, it’s a very tough job.” Nekounam resigned from his post after the game, declaring no apparent reason for his decision.
“Nekounam is a talented young coach”,
Jalali shared his view in this regard. “To be an excellent coach at the highest level of football you need character, knowledge along with experience. I think Nekounam’s reaction is because of his lack of coaching experience in the high level of football. He was a great player and for being a magnificent coach he needs more experience of working under overwhelming pressure,” he concluded.

It’s either going to be a 3-0/4-0 defeat or a heroic 1-0 defeat.
There’s not a single scenario in which i see Foolad win lol.Esteghlal 💙💙Comment

Al-Hilal is basically the playtoy of the richest Saudis.
They spend more in a day, than the entire ACL tournament pays out to win the tournament!
If Foolad wins it will be as unexpected as snow in July (in the northern hemisphere).

Their leaders invest heavily in their own countries and undertake awe-inspiring infrastructure projects, while our own leaders engage in corruption and send their children abroad to benefit from the (evil) West.Originally posted by Hosseini View Post
Their impressive stadiums and ambitious development plans highlight our own inadequacies, as evidenced by my own experience in Qatar during the World Cup. Compared to Iran, Qatar is at least 200 years ahead in terms of progress. While I haven't visited Saudi Arabia, I presume that it is similar, if not even more advanced, given the country's impressive construction projects.
I don't think any Iranian club has any chance against Saudi's top 4 clubs anymore - or if not this year, in the next couple of years."This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis. And it’s one that does not grant freedoms of any kind, or accommodate people’s demands in any way. What is increasingly clear is that there is clear demand for change in the regime. What the people want is regime change, and no return to the past. There is a very real possibility of regime change." - Nasrin SotoudehComment

I agree with you on everything except for the last sentence. I think Sepahan, PP, and SS could give Al Hilal a run for its money. For all the government deficiencies, sanctions, corruption, and incompetence, Iranians as a people somehow find a way to hang in there through our individual talent and ingenuity. It's quite amazing given the system we have to deal withOriginally posted by taremiscores View PostComment

I hope you are right. But their foreign buys are the difference-makers. Just too high quality.Originally posted by Hosseini View Post"This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis.
