A8K I really don't get why are you so much against CQ system if it works and has worked very well and in terms of progress each game and each year it has become more efficient and stronger. Think about it with the last game Iran played they almost topped the group of death and went into the second round. Plus they did achieve their best results in history in a WC playing some very tough opponents. This is quite an achievement by itself along many other things which he has made better for Iran and Iranian players. Don't think for one second that if a coach changes all of a sudden the same defensive machine will continue and all of a sudden Iran starts scoring. In football you have to give something to get something and then discipline which is built here and mainly focused on defense will start to get scored on if it does become more offensive in the next WC. In the Asian Cup I do agree we should play a bit more offensive but not too much. Just similar to the WC qualifiers where we were very efficient at every step. A same method should be implemented and I am almost certain CQ will follow this criteria as it fits with his thinking style and philosophy of the game.

I know this was meant for A8K but I'd like to butt in and also drop a few lines. For those who may resent him is not solely his way of coaching, it's somewhat the state of being biased by some people. there is nothing wrong to like someone whether be a coach or a player but the madness begins when you begin to idolize and talk blindly. to me, that's insanity and irritating.
For example; kasra and his Hejazi story. I know kasra for the longest time and respect his view on Iranian football form now and then. the guy has a memory of Windows 10, but his obsession with Hejazi made me kinda dislike the guy ( Roohesh Shad). every day and night Hejazi this Hejazi that, Hejazi that Hejazi this.
next thing you know Hejazi is standing above Yashin, Gordon Banks and Zoff. or in my early teenage years, I was not a fan but liked to follow Fiorentina among all another Italian team, that was the time the likes of Gentile, Passarella or maybe even Baggio ( If I remember correctly ) were in the team. at the same time or maybe a bit later I met this guy who was a big fan of Roma and for fuck sake the guy made me fall off with Italian football in less than a few months.
Italian this, Italian that which up until today I don't even want to remember his face, lol . and just to let you know later on I met some other fans of Serie A and they all carry the same weight, anyways back to our own topic, the same story happened and happening about CQ , the OG was all because of CQ tactic , even CQ knew who would score the OG, he had studied from what angle an OG would be more possible. I know, you might laugh but it's true it was all over the Social Media. these things are kose sher ( excuse my french) CQ would leave Iran tomorrow morning, should he get a better contract in a better environment and he has all the right to do so, the thing is that in Iran he is not under pressure.to win something. When he sees people dancing on the streets after a narrow loss then why would he leave Iran for? BTW you know he was the best fifth or sixth paid coach in the WC.
some comments about CQ are so annoying that you just want to close your eyes and oppose no matter what
Jusy my 2 cents
