[QUOTE=milad_b;2558442]This is CQ way of saying add couple of $ million on my contract. Come one you must know by now.[/QUOTE
We'll see. Me personally, I think his mind is no longer into it. Psychologically he's checked out, on to the next managerial job. With everything that's going on he's probably thinking like most coaches after the world cup, I'll move on. This time it's no bargaining chip

On Morocco:
I haven't watched any full matches but seen highlights of all their recent matches and they do somewhat remind of the old TM. They did struggle in the 2nd half on the right side defensively with Amrabat and da Costa so that's a bit of good news even though da Costa may not be a starter.
They do generally tend not to play stronger in the 2nd half (i.e. very much like the old TM being a 70 minute team) and in fact have not scored a goal in 75+ minute since September of last year. Most of their goals are scored in the 1st half so that's promising as well.
It will be a tough, most likely very fast and exciting match but they're neither unbeatable nor the top African team in the tournament.
On Tunisia & Spain:
Tunisia put on a fantastic performance against Spain, very disciplined and compact in defense, great physical presence and fighting spirit and great counter-attacks.
They definitely looked better than Italy did against Spain and were starting to take charge and set the tone toward the end of the match to the point I started thinking this may actually go Tunisia's way and a tie would be a good result.
And that's exactly when Spain scored! This is the difference between the new Spain I was telling you guys about under Lopetegui (very dynamic, fast and adaptable) versus del Bosque toward the end (predictable and slow).
When it looked like they couldn't penetrate the Tunisian defense, they patiently sat back, let Tunisia take control of the match and open up a bit and the rest is history. And I can confirm that both teams gave it 110% and played this as a WC group stage match, not a friendly.
On that note, Tunisian should feel very proud and confident after that performance and I would not be surprised if they turn out to be the Algeria of 2018.
Spain also showed that they can be blocked, kept in check and left frustrated when facing a defensively disciplined and physically imposing side. I have much more hope against Spain now than I did yesterday.

If he does well in WC , his contract will increase .
If he doesn't well in WC then he'll leave ! simple as that !

But this is 10 minute of highlights ! 10 Minute. pretty sure all their chances are in the clip. 90% of morrocco's chances were created from crossing the ball inside the box.
Please show me 10 of their opportunities were they played fluid passing football and created chances.
Watch slovakia highlights you will see how quickly they move the ball around with quick accurate passing. In Estonia game they were trying different tactics. Each friendly game the coach has different objectives and they test different players, tactics. They are simulation for the real games in WC.
Morocco is a very good team with very good players that are in sync, but they are beatable and their defense is breakable with our stacked offense and speed. We have several advantages. I just wish we had saeed for this game. stupid red card in a meanningless game. arghhhhh
1) CQ the grandmaster that knows our team, he has studied Morocco and knows how to beat them. Renard has no clue how or who we are going to play.
2) JB, Karim are in top form now
3) milad and ramin are great going forward and can pace back.
4)omid, ashkan, masood are all back from injury. we will just have to wait and see how fit they are
5) masood's third world cup. he has a ton of experience and is in form. his passing and style of play reminds me of riquelme
6)we have several players playing in russian league. If we had this game in kazan instead of spain that would have been like playing at home. Not sure it will matter against spain as everyone loves spain and portugal.

Morocco is a great team , and their recent record is nothing to scoff at. But number 1 rule in competitive sports, whether tennis, basketball, or soccer...respect your opponent, study your opponent, but NEVER, I mean NEVER put your opponents on a pedestal. As soon a you do that,, you are toast. I’m sure CQ will have the boys up for the challenge
