The final of the "Al Ain Cup" tournament is just hours away. Tomorrow, in the first match of the evening, the Uzbekistan national team will face Iran. Both teams are ready to give a lot for victory, and a number of changes were observed in the opponents' lineup before the final.
Iranian head coach Amir Ghalenoyi had previously announced a large list for the FIFA dates. However, after the match against Cape Verde, an unexpected personnel change occurred in the national team. Sepahan defender Amin Khazbavi and Muhammad Mohebbi, who plays for Russian club Rostov, left the training camp due to injuries and returned to their teams.
Mohebbi's condition was particularly astonishing. He played the full match against Cape Verde, and then began to feel uncomfortable. In the penalty shootout, the player, who also had a precise shot, lost his overall rhythm after the injury. Xazbavi wasn't even included in the roster for the previous game.
Ghalenoyi, seeking to quickly compensate for these losses, called up two wing-forwards in their place. Al-Nasr striker Mehdi Gayedi and Al-Ittihad Kalba player Mohammad Mehdi Mohebi quickly joined the national team's training camp. These changes seem to be aimed at further strengthening Iran's capabilities on the flank.
Meanwhile, Persepolis winger Mohamed Omri has recovered from a minor injury and started full training with the starting lineup. His return allows G'alenoyi to increase the number of attacking options.
Both national teams are on the verge of a very responsible match. Uzbekistan's squad is preparing for the final in a stable and good mood. Meanwhile, Iran is entering the final with strengthened wings and new options.
The day awaited by football fans is also approaching. The Iran - Uzbekistan match kicks off tomorrow at 9:00 PM. Which team will speak in the final? A very exciting evening awaits the fans.
