The Greatness of Carlos Queiroz - as told by Dr Craig Duncan

[ramingeles2000]

we have alex ferguson, a global thought leader in sports science, and 99% of TM players praising CQs abilities as a coach and yet nobodies like khiabani, ali karimi, human afazeli have the gall to talk shit. we iranians don't deserve nice things bekhoda. the fact that this man has been treated with anything other than (1) how can we make your job easier (2) thank you for the wonderful job you've done despite all the setbacks and difficulties of working in iran is just sad.

it will be a very sad day for iranian football when CQ is gone. i hope his last moment as our coach is at a press conference in qatar after a round of 16 exit, and not in PKs in the asian cup. just wouldn't be fair.

^ If Carlos stays for the Qatar world cup, with the players having another 3 years to mature under him, with many of the key players reaching the prime of their careers (late 20s) by then, and playing in front of thousands of home fans in every game, I honestly think the quarterfinals would be well within reach.

There was a time every TM player was on Kooka-koola and chelo kabab regimen during tournaments. It's amazing to see what a professional training program can do to a team.

Ramingeles, I c what u mean. I think, however, that everybody should be able to express themselves, no censoring.
Melat should be smart enough to know when to give importance or not.
If people are easily influenced, you can't blame the nobodies as u refer to them...

A dollar short and a day late. All that preparation went down the drain with one of the most amateurish displays in professionalism ever witnessed by me. Next to our TM boys slapping each other in the face this was just piss poor. Who argues with a ref who made a non call in your favour...every 4 year old is taught play till the whistle or make sure the play is dead (put the ball out).

The greatness of CQ is the fact that he was fired from every single senior head coaching job he ever had.. Always being accused of being a negative coach with no attacking plan. He has also been very toxic and always tries to blame other people!

This is the same guy who blamed Scolari for his failure as Portugal head coach. Scolari who most Portuguese would claim as one of the most successful national team coaches.

He says she says doesn't make a person great, it's the results! And CQ has been a failure in a senior level all of his career!

You can only do the best with what you have. We have deep-seated problems in Iran on a societal and psychological level. Given the lack of training camps and friendlies compared to rival teams, you can't take a sports psychologist for a whole two years to change these deep-seated mentalities such as crowding the referee needlessly which happens a dozen times a day in the IPL.

Please name a coach who you think could have done better in building discipline for Team Melli, producing a starting line-up where players die for one another instead of not even pass to each other?

I think some are living in utopian realms. Queiroz had his problems but I just can't imagine anyone doing better than how he did, and at least he has sowed seeds for the future and I have seen progression in how this team approaches games. This was an absolute breakdown of course, but I still think of our immense phalanx-like mentality and discipline against Argentina, Portugal, Spain and Korea*4 etc....

Well, now that he's gone, let's see if the next coach does better. My feeling is that we may not see some of these players again (after 1 or 2 training camps and matches).

They heard a whistle, so technically they satisfied your criteria.

I'd take Alex Ferguson's view over yours.

I disagree. I think changes in mentality and infrastructure are not quantifiable immediately, but are very important. His work as a mentor and a father to these players isn't just for this world cup or asian games, but he has built them for the future. He has a positive TM. I mean surely you have to remember every single damn previous TM when we always had toxicity and deadwood in our team? Please tell me you appreciate that one simple thing, the changes he has made in terms of the atmosphere and environment....?

But if you want to talk about results for Iran

He qualified TM to two world cups consecutively for the first time
He has topped the FIFA rankings in Asia for a fantastically long time
He has managed to shut out South Korea 5 times consecutively (4 times in competitive matches, 1 friendly)
Asian Cup Semis
He statistically has a better W-D-L ratio than the other national team coaches , however much Brankoholics massage the stats to omit the 10 official and 4 unofficial FULL NATIONAL TEAM matches before the 2003 Asian Games, when he was official the full national team coach (not an U23 coach as they claim, though he did become that temporarily for the Asian Games too)

But didn't insure play was ended and the ball was dead....and interesting they heard a whistle the same one the Japanese realized was not from the ref? Do we know a whistle was heard...I haven't seen anyone on the pitch or fans in stadium mention it. Was the linesmans flag up?

And pretty much every coach and staff member who has worked with him.

Ferguson recognised the unquantifiable aspects of Queiroz in building teams for the future. Shame our own hamvatans can't

That's a good one!

because I specifically said that opinions don't matter résults do.... Perhaps you can show me CQs results as a senior head coach to contest this?

So Ferguson la opinion matter over actual results? The same guy who choose Moyes as his replacement.

Why does everything have to be about Branko? Branko is not a good coach either as evidenced by his results and the progress made under his tenure.

So being the only coach to have the oppurtunity to take iran to two consecutive world cups is an achievement. We should make the world cup every time as we are definitley top 4-5 teams in Asia.

Making the world cup is not an achievement, not making it is a failure!

Your comment about toxity is correct but not fully the current situation is also very toxic due to CQ and some of the shit that comes out of his mouth.
