The head coach of Iran’s national team said, ‘It was hard for me to cut 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 press meeting.
After our final observations, especially in Turkey, we announced our 25-man list.
My personal belief is that these players give us better balance from a group perspective.
If we look at it from a personal perspective, it was very difficult to leave players off the list. For a head coach, this decision is always hard and challenging.
Today we are leaving Iran.
Surely 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 them.
