From what i hear 90%+ of the ticket allocation today will be to the basiji lot with their matching tees and caps. Great!

More concerning is that our allocation is only 1500! If I heard it correctly on Irib

[Surenas]

We have to play our game today, we can't be arrogant, just play focussed and with intensity. If we keep that in mind, then we will win this trophy because of the quality of our players, as we are better than both Qatar and Jordan. Qatar and Jordan can only be dangerous if we don't play to our capabilities.

Regarding Ghalenoei, I have to say that I have learnt something, I have always been critical of Amir Khan and I will continue to be critical in the future as I am with every coach. However, two and a half things must be emphasised.

1. Amir Khan chose the right game plan against Japan, I can't believe people are criticising, why did Iran play long balls? It was obvious that this caused Japan massive problems from the moment we overplayed the midfield, where we are simply weaker than Japan, and played off our physicality.

1.1 That won't happen to the same extent against Qatar, we'll try to attack via the wings again with regular interplay, the quality of our midfield is absolutely enough against Qatar.

2. for a long time I had wondered why Ghalenoei had changed so late in the Japan game, but here he showed good quality, he realised from the game that the teamwork worked well, he simply didn't change because he realised that Iran would win this game with the 11 players that were there. He realised that these 11 had a huge momentum and he realised that a change could disrupt this momentum. That was an OUTSTANDING move by Ghalenoei, that he read that out of the game. I think you should give him credit for that. If we win this game today, I'm convinced WE WILL BEAT JORDAN! We are no less Gheyrati, and Jordan only come through Gheyrat, but we bring additional experience and quality in all positions. So go out there and win the trophy. We were never closer to winning this Cup since 1976, like now, we have to bring it home, nothing else.

Wow, risky move.

either that or he’s playing saman on the wing in a 4-2-3-1…..looks like a slightly more defensive line up which is interesting.

I think it's a 4-2-3-1!

I was hoping Omid could get a rest before the final. But I do like Saman in a more advanced position.

[webmaster]

^ Saman's position is great for his style of play. This is the way we always have to play. This will become 4-5-1 in defense which is solid.
