PLDC - Branko Ivankovich told reporters yesterday that he doesn't think that we have a good candidate to replace Daie for the friendly against Germany and the world cup qualifier against Qatar in Doha. Branko added: "I am sorry that we can not use Daie and Kazemian for these matches, even though I am happy to say that all of the players who have joined us in the camp look in high spirit and are motivated in our training sessions." Regarding Azizi's absence in yesterday's training he said: "He had permission from the management not to participate in the team training yesterday but he is here today and will be in the camp with the rest of the team. " Also Branko showed approval of inviting Khatibi and Shojaee, but also said that he is expecting these players to prove themselves in the camp." At the end, Branko said that the game against Germany will show the true strength of our football and as a preparation for the Qatar game, we will play our best football. Posted By: Armin A. |
