Iran Match Very Difficult: Marcello Lippi
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – China national football team head coach Marcello Lippi says that they will have a difficult task against Iran.
China will meet Iran in Group A of the 2018 World Cup qualifier in Tehran on Tuesday.
Team Melli leads Group A with 14 points, nine points ahead of China who sits fifth in the standing.
China will play Iran after its best result in years, a 1-0 win over South Korea, only a second win against its regional rival in 32 meetings.
“I hope my team don't get too self-satisfied with this win," Lippi said. "I hope they can have even better achievements.”
“We know that Iran is going to be very difficult and we don't have much time to prepare but we will try our best as always,” the Italian added.
