'Iran's creative players will beat UAE'

PTV - Iran's soccer team will defeat the UAE with its creative players and technical ability according to Croat coach Vingo Bergovic.

"Records show that the Iranian squad could always gain a victory over the UAE due to its players' individual techniques," Begovic said in an interview with the IRNA news agency on Tuesday.

"But Iran will have a tough match against the United Arab Emirates this time, since the UAE will have no chance to qualify for the World Cup if it is defeated," he added.

Begovic confirmed that the Iranian side has a bright future under the leadership of manager Ali Daei, who has developed the team significantly.

"Both Iran and the UAE desperately need to win Wednesday's match which will make the game quite interesting," said the Croat coach.

The two teams drew 0-0 in the Iranian capital Tehran in the previous qualification round.

Iran is competing with Saudi Arabia, North Korea, South Korea and the UAE in Group B of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
