We are tactically the best team in ASIA

[Iran007]

2 things caught my eye in the Korea game:
1- I as a fan now routinely expect a victory from TM no matter who the apponnent the is and that hasn't always been the case. Winning with CQ has become the norm for us.
2- I have never seen South Korea look so deflated and defeated against Iran in the past. In the second half, Korean players were just going through the motions. You could see it in their eyes and their body language was very telling. I don't think SK players truly believe they can beat us and that is directly as the result of CQ instilling fear in the apponents we play .

What was the average age of the players on the field? The first eleven before substitutions?

What stands out the most about the TM play is that, after the game highlights videos ..the Iranian opponants,have consistantly no highlights !...teams just can not create dangerous upportunities against Iran.

Asian teams, be it clubs or national, are generally weak in defense.

Iran's were no exception, until CQ came.

Usually games are won by the teams whose opposition's defense made more mistakes.

CQ correctly spotted the problem, and had the knowledge and patience to correct it; and he dearly paid the price for it by being harshly criticised that his team does not play beautiful football!

Surely playing defensive football is not attractive, but his team needed to go through this heavily defensive period to master it, and then work on the other areas.

Now TM not only has not conceded any goals after 4 games into WCQ games, but was also able to control fast passing, speedy, all legioner s.korean team, and impose their game on them.

He is fantastic. Does anyone have any stats on how many shots on our goal there have been during this round of WCQ?

[RaginG Inferno]

The same China that scored 3 goals on S Korea could not get a single shot on goal during 90 minutes.

It's stunning that this TM almost never concedes shots on goal.
