Well said Ostad Jan, old friend. There have been plenty of coaches who have come to Iran and they were good from an x's and o's standpoint. What separates an average football manager from a good one is the good football manager can relate to his players and get the best out of them. The good manager knows his players strengths and weaknesses, then devises a game plan. Minimize the weaknesses and highlight your strengths. I would say under CQ, where we improved the most is our overall team defense. We know play like defense like a professoional European club and even the Chinese manager pointed that out. We were always good in attack/hamleh but our weakness was always the D/GK position. We do not have those problems anymore but it goes back to that psychological aspect you were talking about. There is an old American coach speak saying, "It is not about the x's and o's it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's." Yes you need to be a good strategist but each player has a different personality. It is up to the coach to know each player and find a way to bring them together, as a team. CQ did a wonderful job of that.
