Speaking to Sportskeeda on the sidelines of their training in Abu Dhabi, Team Melli head coach Carlos Queiroz stressed that it would be the biggest mistake they commit if they consider any of their opponents a pushover at the Asian Cup.
He would be overseeing Iran, ranked 29th in the world, for the one last time at the Asian Cup.
The Iranian side has been together for over three weeks now with a camp in Qatar before they headed for UAE last week. And Queiroz sounded confident of his side’s chances here.
Ranked best in Asia and with a squad that can give the best in business a run of their money, many are already considering Asian Cup 2019 to be Iran’s title to lose. While their experienced defender Pejman Montazeri lashed out on such comments a few days back, Queiroz chose to focus on the job at hand.
