GOAL - Iran’s 2-0 defeat in Seoul has, unsurprisingly, intensified the pressure on Iran Coach Branko Ivankovic.
It is no secret that Ivankovic does not have
many friends amongst the capital’s large core of sports writers. His
detractors were hard at work before the friendly game building up the
importance of this game and presenting it as a test that could seal his
fate. The Croatian said as much, and blames the press for unfair treatment.
Unfair it may be, but that is simply how things work in Iran’s world of
sports. |
