2017 Granatkin Memorial ( U<18)

[St_Mark]

Iran did not make it to top 4.
They will play for 5-8 rank teams next.
They could have advanced if they had played better against Slovenia .

Chamanian finally decided to let someone else be team Captain. His first choice has been always Aref Mohammadalipour. but except one game last year versus Saudi Arabia ( Iran was almost lost that game, first half was behind by two goals ) every time he has been team Captain results has been not good. Sharifi has been team captain most of the game since Saudi Arabia game. Today Ghobeishavi was the team Captain and MVP in a big win game.

Abas Chamanian, Head coach of team Iran:
– I congratulate our opponent. They have a good team and many strong players. We knew this would be a difficult game, because the guys from Azerbaijan are older and physically stronger than our players. That’s why we used pressing. We had to defend much today, and I want to thank the Azerbaijan for such an experience since we got a lot of good practice in defense.
Tabriz Hasanov: It’s our fourth match when we’re practicing the opposing defense (smiling).


– It seemed that your team was progressing with each match: a loss, a tie and a high score win. You didn’t manage to continue this trend today. Is the reason connected with Azerbaijan or is there any other reason?
– All the opposing teams on this tournament differ much. As I said, Azerbaijan is a strong and physically well-developed team. So I think that a 0:1 defeat is not that bad for us.


– In such a case it’s a bit strange that you made your first substitution only on the 74th minute. Your younger and less stronger players should have been very tired by that time…
– We are preparing for the Youth World Cup and that’s why we brought here our main line-up as well as younger and less experienced players that we want to watch in action. We had our main guys playing in the starting eleven today, and I wanted to check them, so I was not making substitutions for quite a long time.
