PLDC - Tehran, Intentionally or unintentionally and by their questionable behavior, some people who play a significant role in Team Melli are helping the Qataris for the World Cup.

These days something is taking place in football denoting the Qataris’ effort for the World Cup; an effort influencing the play between Iran and Uzbekistan referee.

The supporters of this view have been vigilant on the head coach of Team Melli and now they accuse him of his implicit efforts to help the Qataris for the World Cup.

According to IRNA: “Those who follow football news know that sometimes unethical sports behavior makes a team successful or unsuccessful; to some extent, it is acceptable that the Qataris who are technically in group A of 2014 World Cup qualifying group and have nothing to say when compared with Iran, Uzbekistan, and South Korea try to embark on everything ranging from referee to penetration into Asia Football Confederation and even into the teams to be present in Brazil.”

After the strange defeat of Iran Team Melli against Lebanon in Beirut, rumors spread that it was difficult to believe and nobody believed it, but this rumor was reinforced after the defeat against Uzbekistan and now nobody who wants to think about it seriously rejects it emphatically. An interview made by one of those involved in former Team Melli has complicated the situation and made the fans of Team Melli think over it again and ask why Team Melli with its glorious record was defeated by Uzbekistan and Lebanon.

This authority (Khosrow Valizadeh, the former media manager of Team Melli) has held that: “Has anyone asked himself that the defeat of Team Melli against Lebanon might have been related to other things in addition to technical problems? Has anyone investigated why the nutritionist of the Team was fired? He has kept some secret pieces of information about the defeat against Lebanon and has not publicized it. Has anyone asked why anyone who makes an objection or resists illogical demands of the head coach of Team Melli is immediately fired?

Why is Team Melli defeated against its weaker rival? These are the questions that have occupied the minds of the fans. It seems that some people with significant role in the functioning of Team Melli with their questionable behavior, willingly or unwillingly, are helping the Qataris for the World Cup.

This view is supported by some well-known coaches of Iran. It has been heard from these coaches in different circles that Carlos Queiroz has done a favor for the Qataris by his weak arrangement of Team Melli.

Anyhow, we are in a strange situation. We are in a situation that a nutritionist can find a tribune to criticize the head coach of Team Melli and claim that he knows the cause of the defeat against Uzbekistan; as the former media manager of Team Melli suddenly recommends that Carlos Queiroz be fired.

These days are such a situation...
