AFC U-19 CHAMPIONSHIP

[Nader25]

no team discipline at all,

no wonder by connection coach......eh

[DJPedram]

we the only team that got a tie result with red card so far.

[Ali Doust]

Probably the result of becoming too famous at such a young age for absolutely nothing.

Famous for what? For being a Zob Ahan bench warmer? Nothing is handed you gotta fight for it. If he doesn't fight he will be forgotten.

For scoring a goal vs PP or getting invited to Iran's most popular emission (90) at just 16/17 years old simply because he is more talented than other Iranian players in his age category... He probably thinks he is too good for Zob Ahan as well

He was listed as one of 50 best talents according to Guardian which was the reason he was invited to 90.

Now Iranian media is focusing on Soltani because of the recent Guardian list.

Iran has practically only one more game to play against Japan.Should Iran lose more likely last game vesus Yemen is meaningless.
Qatar will defeat Yemen comfortably and will face Japan at last.They know result if Iran versus Japan and they know if a tie can do it.

With Peyrovani as a decision maker it's tall order to expect defeating Japan but is still possible.

Only He know why he switched position of Noorafkan and Soltanimehr . Soltanimehr was struggling from the start as a DM and Noorafkan was not effective in his new role.
U19 does not have good forward and it was pointed out many times that Chaab is not CFW. He does not have aerial game at all , not physically imposing or having dribbling skills . A forward who can not put fear on defenders is not good forward.

Today Shekari , Noorafkan, Soltanimehr played bad ,dull and shadow of themselves.It seems they did not know their assignments also not at best physcal condition despit various training camps.
Only Shojaei was visible in the middle because of his fitness.He got a card and coach replaced him for the fear of second card.

Peyrovani can't get best performance from his stars and key players and without effective game plan chance of defeating Japan s not good.
Let's hope someone advise him of needed changes for next and perhaps last chance.

Riffa: A goal at either end for Abolfazl Razzaghpour gave Islamic Republic of Iran a 1-1 draw against defending champions Qatar in their AFC U-19 Championship Bahrain 2016 Group C encounter on Friday.


Iran defender Razzaghpour was left to rue his misfortune at the Bahrain National Stadium as he deflected an Abdullah Abdulsalam header into his own goal in the 38th minute, after it initially looked to be going wide.Despair turned to elation in the second half though, as Razzaghpour equalised with a thumping strike despite his team being reduced to 10 men shortly after the break.Qatar started the game promisingly although Iran were giving as good as they got in the opening exchanges.Tarek Salman surged forward in the 3rd minute for Qatar, leaving his marker on his backside as he fired in a powerful shot that just missed the right hand post.This set the tone for the first half, with the two teams exchanging speculative shots from distance, the majority of which drifted high or wide.Iran’s best chance of the half came in the 28th minute, as Shahin Abbasian made good headway down the right flank before crossing deep to the far post for Ali Shojaei to knock the ball down.Reza Karmollachaab was facing the wrong way as the ball arrived but he pulled off an acrobatic bicycle kick that arrowed towards the bottom right hand corner of the goal, only for Mohammad Albakari to dive low to his left to keep it out.Qatar’s slick passing and constant movement were starting to tell and it was from one such move ten minutes later that they scored the opener.Hassan Ahmad’s drive down the left side looked harmless at first given the two defenders tailing him, but a feint left one on the ground before he cut in and stood the ball up.Abdulsalam’s header looked to be drifting wide, but Razzaghpour was charging in and unwittingly deflected the ball towards his own goal where Shahab Adeli got a hand to it but could not keep it out.Iran’s hopes of fightback were dealt a blow three minutes after half-time, when a quick counter attack led to Mohammad Soltani clumsily bringing Abdelrahman Moustafa down just outside the box.The referee showed no hesitation as the Iranian midfielder was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence.Despite their numerical disadvantage, Iran then came up with an equaliser as Razzaghpour made amends for his earlier mistake.Qatar had half-cleared a long throw in, but allowed Omid Norafkan to knock the ball back to Razzaghpour as the defender let fly a booming effort that gave Albakari no chance at all before hitting the back of the net.Photos: AFC

Oh - I thought we definitely had the superior talent in comparison to the Qataris, that's the only reason we tied and could have won. The tactical makeup left a lot to be desired.

[Bi-honar]

Okay result I guess but this match was definitely not sweet to the eyes or soul! I'd probably take waterboarding over having to watch parts of it again!

I don't expect much tactically at this age level (although I've seen much better games from our U17) but to say some of the boys were unimpressive technically would be a serious understatement.

The only thing I was really impressed with was Peyrovani pulling out Shekari - for a guy built-up to be the bright future of Iranian football he was terrible. The only thing he did all game long was hang out (and I emphasize hang out) in offside positions.

On the bright side...

* The boys fought very hard and it's admirable that they came back from a goal down to tie the match with a man down.

* They looked a lot less nervous and there were a lot less silly errors in the 2nd half.

* Our fitness levels were much better than Qatar and our team was definitely superior physically.

I'm dismissing the performance in this match, the nervousness and all the silly errors to tournament jitters and reserving judgement until the next match, although facing a potentially stronger opponent the boys all need to be on their A game.

[saadat_abad]

guys, how many times did their number 11 flop?? oh man every time he got the ball he was on the ground. seemed like he tried to get the foul on every position and it showed when that flop gave our player the red -_-

[Tehranto]

This team oozes with talent, they just need to get it together tactically.

[BacheLot]

Saw all of 10 min or so in 2nd half.
Did it end 1-1..!?

Terrible team play
Every man was doing their own thing
Khar to khar be een migan digeh..!

I guess u get what you pay for with these rookie coaches.

Iran coach Amir Peiravani :

"The first match is always so difficult. Our team had two problems. The weather was not good and we got a red card in the second half."My defenders did very well covering space and in the second half we were very good. I don't think we were lucky."

سرمربی تیم فوتبال جوانان پس از تساوی برابر قطر گفت: دیدار اول در هر تورنمنتی سخت است و من از عملکرد شاگردانم رضایت دارم.

به گزارش خبرگزاری تسنیم، امیرحسین پیروانی درباره تساوی یک بر یک تیم جوانان ایران مقابل قطر در رقابت های قهرمانی فوتبال جوانان آسیا گفت:
قبل از هر چیز از کنفدراسیون فوتبال آسیا و مردم مهمان نواز بحرین تشکر می کنم. از مسابقات جام جهانی و المپیک گرفته تا جام ملت ها و مسابقات باشگاهی، همیشه بازی اول سخت است. همچنین هوا برخلاف سه روز گذشته کمی گرم و شرجی تر بود که این مسئله روی کار ما تاثیر گذاشت.

داور هم در صحنه ای مشابه صحنه خطای مدافع ما که کارت زرد دوم را نشان داد، به بازیکن حریف کارت نشان نداد و تیم حریف هم باید از دقیقه 70 به بعد مثل تیم ما 10 نفره می شد.
وی افزود: در مجموع بازیکنان من 45 دقیقه 10 نفره نمایش خوبی از خود نشان دادند و با پوشش دادن تمام فضاها توانستند نبض بازی را در اختیار بگیرند.


سرمربی جوانان در پاسخ به سوال خبرنگار ژاپنی درباره تقابل ایران و ژاپن تصریح کرد:
ژاپن همواره یکی از تیم های برتر آسیاست. آنها را تیمی خوب و منسجم دیدم. در حال حاضر سوت بازی ژاپن برای ما به صدا در آمده و از امروز من و همکارانم کار ارزیابی و برنامه ریزی مسابقه با ژاپن را آغاز می کنیم.پیروانی در پاسخ به سوال خبرنگار تلویزیون ژاپن در مورد چگونگی یافتن جایگزین برای بازیکن اخراجی تیم خود در بازی ژاپن

گفت: 23 بازیکن آماده داریم و از این بابت هیچ نگرانی وجود ندارد. وی در واکنش به سوال خبرنگار قطری مبنی بر اینکه آیا ایران با خوش شانسی مقابل قطر به تساوی رسید، گفت:

منظور شما را متوجه نشدم. اینکه 45 دقیقه 10 نفره بازی کنید گل بزنید و چند موقعیت گلزنی خلق کنید را نمی شود بر مبنای شانس گذاشت. هرچند باید بگویم قطر هرگز به ما گل نزد، بلکه بدشانسی باعث شد توپ ارسالی توسط بازیکن قطر به بازیکن ما برخورد کرده و وارد دروازه شود.سرمربی جوانان خاطرنشان کرد: اولین بازی همیشه سخت و حساس است، بخصوص اگر تیمی مثل ایران مقابل شما بازی کند. برنامه ما گرفتن حداکثر امتیاز از این بازی بود، ولی یک امتیاز هم نمی تواند زیاد بد باشد. تمام بازیکنانم سعی کردند بهترین نمایش خودشان را نشان بدهند و از عملکردشان راضی ام،
اما باید برای صعود به مرحله بعد تلاش شان رو بیشتر کنند. بازی بعدی ما با یمن است. این تیم نشان داد تیم خوبی است، اما ما برای صعود می جنگیم.
