Iranian journalist Mohamed Khairani said that a friendly match with the Russian national football team does not cause a stir in Tehran. His assessment is given by Euro-Futbol.Ru.
“This match is important for the head coach, the players and the football federation, but not very important for the fans. It’s the Iranian New Year now, people are on vacation and busy with other things,” Khairani explained. He also expressed confidence that the Iranian players have a high chance of winning.
