Loading...Tasnim – TEHRAN, Iran’s international striker Reza Ghoochannejhad (Gucci) said he will miss the country’s national football team captain Javad Nekounam who announced his retirement in early April.
“Personally, I missed Javad Nekounam. We should get used to his absence,” Gucci told the Tasnim news agency.
“If you ask me about Nekounam, I have to say he can play for Iran though he is 36,” Guccis added.
“I believe that a football player should help his team as far as he can. Anyway, we must respect Nekounam’s decision,” Al-Wakrah striker added.
He further said that he still has one year left on his contract with Charlton Athletic, and noted, “However, I have to say the football is not different in Qatar, Kuwait or the European teams. I always do my best and try to help my teams.”
