Iran Coach Shamsaei Wants His Team Remain Focused against Uzbekistan
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran head coach Vahid Shamsaee wants his team to remain focused against Uzbekistan in the 2024 AFC Futsal Asian Cup semifinals.
Iran, who booked its spot with a 6-1 win over Kyrgyz Republic on Wednesday, will meet Uzbekistan on Friday.
“We know it's going to be a tough match, both physically and tactically, and we're determined to show the best performance we can,” said Shamsaei.
“The past is the past. We had friendly games with Uzbekistan before this tournament, but there's a significant difference between the Uzbek team and my team. Each team possesses unique conditions and physical attributes. Right now, our focus is solely on the next game, and we aim to maintain our concentration,” he added.
“With each game, we're improving. We had two targets, and achieved one by qualifying for the FIFA Futsal World Cup Uzbekistan 2024. After our quarter-final game, all my players understood their roles."
"They know what they need to do tomorrow: to fight until the end without stress and with the hope of delivering a good performance,” Shamsaei concluded.
