Tough game, Japan pressing with 3 upfront and they look dangerous and fast in attack, we have to keep them in their half and stop their rhythm.

Sardar doing very well on his own, a bit unlucky not to score so far.
We need to get a goal, those yellow cards put us on the edge.
 
This game shows the most annoying thing with CQ's gameplan: The lack of a dangerous midflied

If our striker(s) are marked, then forget about it. All teams have creative midfielders capable of dribbling, shooting and causing danger. Iran has lacked this for ages. Players like Ebrahimi, Dejagah and Jahanbakhsh are completely useless when it comes to creating something on their own. Ghoddoos might be slightly better but not much.
