This is pretty damn impressive. CQ has done very well when it comes to introducing youth/new players to TM. We were the 25th oldest team in 2014, now we're the 7th.Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post

pooladi was a grade A retard. If he went back to Iran and did sarbazi for Tractor Sazi or something he would have at least been getting offers from PP/SS/Sepahan the year after ( he actually had interest from Hull, Swansea if I remember correctly). He is currently at the age of 30 , and would have made our world cup squad as Milad's backup without a doubt, and probably also the Asian Cup 2019.Originally posted by GolfePersique View Post

Queiroz on Peru qualifying and FIFA rules:
"The 2018 World Cup Russia will raffle its group stage this Friday from Moscow and RPP News is already there to cover the event. Different football personalities have gathered. That is why Iran coach Carlos Queiroz took advantage of the moment to make it clear that he is surprised by the Peruvian National Team .
"The first opinion I have is very simple: the South American Qualifier is the most difficult of all the continents for the World Cup, when Peru qualifies and Chile does not, it is because the team must be good and competitive. Brazil and I was very surprised by the dynamics and the quality of all the players, "he said.
The 64-year-old Portuguese strategist also took a few minutes to ask FIFA to change some rules so that the teams start at the same level. According to the coach of the Iranian squad their players, who increasingly play in Europe, like the Peruvians, should reach the concentration with more anticipation.
"Countries like Peru and Iran have to do a head-to-head preparation, which is why I always say that FIFA's rules of allowing players to train with the national team four days before matches is good, but it is for Germany, Argentina, Brazil. , that have an operation, making an equal rule for all the distance is shortened, "he said."

"Carlos Queiroz admits to finishing his coaching career
Speaking to Antena 1, the Iranian coach said he would make a reflection after the 2018 World Cup
Carlos Queiroz admitted this Thursday in an interview with Antena1 the possibility of abandoning the career of coach after the World Cup in 2018, which will be held in Russia next summer. "It's been 36 years as a coach," said the Iranian coach.
At age 64, Queiroz says that "it was worth some sacrifices", remembering that he achieved the goal of "qualifying three teams for four world championships". Namely: South Africa (2002), Portugal (2010) and Iran (2014 and 2018).
About his work in Iran, Carlos Queiroz assumes that "there is passion and quality, but there is no will and determination of the authorities to take the football forward and thus it will be difficult." "Country, fans and players deserved a lot more, so football in Iran will continue to stagnate," he said.
On the possibilities of the Portuguese national team in the World Cup, he said that there is an "obligation to think that he presents himself as a strong candidate to reach one of the top three", which in his view and meant that "victory in the it was a coincidence. ""

^TY interesting read, although the translation made it difficult to figure some parts of ..!
sadly, this part was a gimmie.... "About his work in Iran, Carlos Queiroz assumes that "there is passion and quality, but there is no will and determination of the authorities to take the football forward and thus it will be difficult." "Country, fans and players deserved a lot more, so football in Iran will continue to stagnate," he said."
and it seems as he is actually pondering quitting coaching all together after the WC 18..?? We can't let him off the hook that easy..!!

CQ has had a VERY hard time in Iran! This should not escape us, the very few reasons he has stayed is of course the large Salary, but specifically that his marriage with Team Melli has been successful, if you recall CQ was a forgotten coach prior to 2011, he was fired from Real Madrid and as Portugal Manager, so his light was diminishing, until IFF found him and he began a journey of self discovery with a team in bad need of discipline and organization. with TM he not only redeemed Iranian football, but redeemed himself, albeit with very little to work with! IFF has let him down many times and if he stays will continue to let him down, and this has made him tired, but not lose love for a nation, a people and a team who have made him today the most sough after coach in Asia if not the world!Comment

The reporters have super speculated. He said "Maybe" i'll retire.

"FOR ME, THE DRAW COULD NOT HAVE GONE BETTER» - CARLOS QUEIROZ
Carlos Queiroz, Iran coach, commented on the draw for the 2018 World Cup, which saw duels with Portugal, Spain and Morocco in Group B. "Personally I'm very happy because it's a group with two very special country teams for me. For Iran, it's going to be a very tough competition. It would always be so regardless of the group. But when you have Spain, World Champion and Portugal, champion of Europe ... for me, I could not have done better, "he began by saying at the end of the draw that took place in Moscow on Friday.
Asked who is stronger, whether Portugal or Spain: «Well ... first we will play with Morocco and then we start to prepare very well the following games. What matters most is playing with ambition and leaving the World Cup with honor. No doubt Spain and Portugal are favorites, unless they make mistakes. It is unlikely. "
Queiroz confessed that he had already commented on the draw with the Spanish counterpart:" Yes, we have. I said "calm, easy ..." (laughs). ""

"Carlos Queiroz, Iran coach, spoke with Four minutes after finishing the 2018 World Cup draw . A draw that is very special for the Real Madrid coach since it crosses the country where he trained in 2003-2004 and with his native country.
Balance of the draw : "Personally I am very happy because it is a group with two selections from two very special places for me. For us it is going to be a very tough competition. It would always be hard, it did not matter in the group where we were. But when you're with Spain, world champion, and with Portugal, European champion ... It could not be a better draw for me. "
Which is stronger of the two? "That ... We have to play against Morocco first and then prepare very well for what's coming. The most important thing for Iran is to play with desire, respect and leave the World Cup with honor. No doubt Spain and Portugal are favorites unless they make mistakes. It is unlikely...".
What scares you from Spain? "Everything, the quality, the intensity, the rhythm ...".
Have you spoken with Lopetegui ?: "Yes, we have already spoken and I said: 'Quiet, calm ... (laughs)."
The Iran coach also said:
- What possibilities does Iran have in a group in which Spain and Portugal are?
- Spain and Portugal are favorites, of course. But only on paper. Then in football we already know that nothing is impossible. There are times when the mouse escapes the cat. Iran is going to leave the skin, will play with honor and dignity and aims that all the Iranian people feel proud of their Selection.
- You are Portuguese and have worked in Spain, what do you feel?
- For me it is a very special group, because Portugal is my country and I had the fortune to train Real Madrid, so my link with Spain is narrow. But now only the coach of Iran and my goal is to make it difficult for some as well as for others, and also for Morocco. But we are aware of our possibilities. What is certain is that we are going to make war, that it will not be easy to beat Iran and that my players will try to have their minute of glory. There is nothing written. We'll see what happens."
