Generally, before knockouts teams begin to put extra effort on polishing their penalty-taking skills. But Iranians seem hardly bothered about knockout prospects. Instead, they were busy simulating tackles during their practice sessions.
They almost formed a line of three, one behind the other, and the defenders would have to deny the attacker from breaching them. It was not only the defenders who were assigned the marking duties but also their forwards and midfielders, too.
Whether it was sneaking past defenders or stopping the defenders, the star was Younes Delfi, who effected a clutch of spectacular sliding tackles, besides winkling past his markers after swapping roles. No wonder, Iran has conceded just two goals in this campaign.
