The head coach of Iran’s national team said it was difficult for me to remove any of the players. Today, we are leaving Iran.
I apologize to you for canceling yesterday’s press conference.
We were supposed to announce our list at the press conference, but unfortunately, I had to cancel the briefing.
After our last observations, especially in Turkey, we announced our 25-player list.
My personal belief is that these players give us better balance from a team perspective.
If we look at it from a personal perspective, it was very difficult to leave players out of the list. For a head coach, this decision is always hard and challenging.
Today, we are leaving Iran.
Certainly, everyone understands that this was not the proper preparation for the World Cup.
There are a series of issues and problems, but our duty is to solve these problems.
