The IPL matches have been called off again because of the national team’s game against Singapore in the 2011 Asian Cup qualification.
“This postponement is a big problem for us. We don’t know how to keep our readiness. I am confused due to the disorder,” said Ghalenoei.
“We are going to take part in the Asian Champions League (ACL) and would like to keep our team condition high but we can not focus on the future as we want to,” he added.
“Esteghlal aims to advance to the second round of ACL. We need a program to go forward in the prestigious event,” concluded Esteghlal coach.
Esteghlal has been drawn in Group C, which is a tough group, alongside UAE’s Al Jazeera, Umm Salal of Qatar and Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia.
