MNA - Iran football coach Ali
Daei said on Sunday that he is so happy because of the victory over Qatar in
a friendly match.
Iran beat Qatar 1-0 in a warm-up game ahead of the UAE match in the 2010
World Cup qualifiers to be held on November 19th in Dubai.
“I am so pleased due to this victory. They defended very well yet we
eventually took advantage of our infrequent chances. In absence of our
European-based players we benefited greatly from our young lads,” said Ali
Daei at the news conference after Qatar-Iran match in Doha.
“They wanted to prove themselves and I thank them all because of their
efforts. This game can help us have a good performance against the UAE in
the World Cup qualifiers because of the similarity between the two teams,”
added Iran coach.
