PLDC- Tehran, After Iran's 3-1 loss against Oman, Carlos Queiroz said, "Accepting this result was hard for us."

The head coach of Team Melli added,  "Of course, I am not satisfied with the result since this was a heavy defeat for the players and our team, but their high motivation in the second half to change the result was significant for me."

Queiroz further added that,"The Omanis ended the game after the third goal and i have to say that it was a hard result and a good wake-up call for us; now, we have to keep our focus on gearing up the team for the match against Qatar."

He added, "The players should not take the climatic condition of Oman into consideration, that's exactly why we have taken this trip for this game to play in real conditions similar to Qatar."

In response to a question regarding the possibility of adding new players to the next Team Melli camp he said, "It might happen. Today, I did not have about 10 key players and one or two of these players will come to our aid on the day of the match against Qatar for sure, and of course everything depends on Esteghlal and Iranian legionaries  I hope we won't have any injured players."
