Persianfootball.com – BEIRUT, Daniel Davari expressed his happiness about his national team debut in an interview with German sprots magazine “kicker” on Wednesday, but pointed out he is not taking a World Cup squad slot for granted.

“I don’t know if I will be part of it [the World Cup]. I am glad that I was part of the two matches now and that we won twice”, Davari said when asked about his chances of taking part in Brazil 2014.

“I am happy about this, the rest has to be seen. It’s also very important for Iran to be part of the Asian Cup.

“I always try to give my best and to impress in training and during matches. I am glad that I played and could help the team.”

Asked about his feelings towards Iran as someone who was born in Germany the Eintracht Braunschweig goalkeeper was quick to point out his heritage.

“I have Iranian blood in my veins. My father is from Iran. Thereby I of course got to know the Iranian mentality and lifestyle.

“Also I have many relatives in Iran. What I still have to learn is the language. I still have deficits there.”

In regards to Iran’s chances at the World Cup, Davari explained much will depend on the draw on December 6.

“But one can see we possess quality and are very dangerous upfront”, the 25-year-old added.

“Defensively we barely let anything happen. I only had to save three or four shots in the last two matches. That indeed stands for quality.”
