Poya Asbaghi: There are definitely players to recover from Iran – Iran – Asia

After a difficult period with missing results, queries and attacks from the media, as well as a very popular sports director at Mats Gren recently sacked, the coach of IFK Gothenburg, Poya Asbaghi, was under pressure. The game against Brommapojkarna was a team match for Blåvitt to avoid a serious blurring of the net result in the Allsvenskan. The match ended 2-0 in front of the guests from Kamratgården and the team can now look to the future.

Congratulations on the 2-0 win over Brommapojkar. Do you hold and turn the ship after the hectic period that you had behind?
"At least we have taken a first step in the right direction – it was a hell of a team effort today.
"Fan support means a lot, they have been with us all year long, and when we play attack games against our fans in the second half, you get a few extra points, which is noticeable. for the players.

What differences can you see in the team as you are before and after everything that has happened?
– Before and after Christ hehe. But it is clear that if you think tactically, we have made it a little easier. We do not hesitate to match this game to the creation of goal chances with the help of our construction game, but we are comfortable enough to lie down and know that we will be able to counter. We felt it was the right place to do it, partly because of the players we had as well, because we thought it was a good match against BP, who would like to make his counterattack.

What does this ghost mean at the bottom of the table, as you now have it?
"It's still a situation where we have not got any games in the Allsvenskan 2019, so it's about being humble for the next matches." But it's clear that we have given ourselves a very good starting position.We are now focusing on Sundsvall on Friday.
Iran

When you started as a coach at IFK Göteborg, I remember telling you that you had a contact with Queiroz. What did you talk about and what does it look like today?
"Me and him, we had a very good conversation throughout the year.As an Iranian confederation, he is very interested in locking players in Europe as it is another school. In addition, it is difficult for me to go through Whyscout, then to watch the Iranian players.To get a last comment from Queiroz, who has been to Europe and Iran, there is no better person to turn to when you want to hear about certain players.This is a relationship that I like to see continue.

How much did you hire an Iranian player?
"We have seen players ahead of the season in the summer, even though there was nothing now, so do not close the door for the future.

Have you been close to Iranian football?
– Especially during the World Cup, like everyone else, heart in the throat. Nobody cried more than me when we scored the goal against Morocco at the last minute!
"I can not see so many Iranian club matches for explanatory reasons, it usually hangs in. But I will definitely follow football, I will.

How realistic is it that a player from the Iranian league plays in the Allsvenskan?
– The Iranian league has shown in recent years that things are happening there. You will also find very good players. You are like the king of Iran when you are good at Persepolis or at TeraktorSazi. You stay there because you have everything you need. But above all, the young players of recent years show a willingness to play also in Europe. Take the example of those who play in the Belgian league, which is not so bad, who go there and who gets out of it well. There are certainly players to pick up from Iran, it is important to spot correctly.

Do you have a lot of Iranian fans writing to you? What do you want to tell them?
"I get a lot of support, the people who write to me, it's crazy and I like it, we showed that we can play football, things are happening." is a great Asian nation that is growing even outside of Asia.

IFK Gothenburg is 12th with 12 points to play. A curfew of 20 points is currently in four, as the 14th team in Allsvenskan.
