Iran One of Asia’s Strongest Teams, Vietnam Coach Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Vietnam coach Park Hang Seo says they have been drawn in a difficult group in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.
Vietnam has been pitted against Iran, Iraq and Yemen in Group D.
“We’ve been grouped with one of the strongest teams in Asia – Iran,” Park Hang Seo said.
“Iraq and Yemen can be very tricky teams to face but our players have experience playing West Asian teams,” the South Korean added.
Yemen Head Coach Abraham Mebratu Gebrelassie also rated Iran as one of the best Asian teams.
“Looking at the draw, there is no easy group but when it comes to our group, Iran is one of the best together with Iraq who has plenty of experience playing internationals and Olympic matches – hence those two teams are very strong," Gebrelassie said.
