As you know, today the national team of Uzbekistan under the leadership of Fabio Cannavaro will reach the final with Iran in the decisive match of the international friendly tournament. As interest in the tournament grows, Iranian midfielder Mohammad Mahdi Mohebi shared his thoughts on this important clash.
He emphasized that reaching the final is a great honor for the team. Mohebi, considering reaching this stage as a blessing from Allah, acknowledged that many expected Egypt in the final, but Uzbekistan's game and result were a worthy response. "Uzbekistan also fully deserved the final. Their mentality, preparation, and playing style fully proved this," he said.
In his comments, Mohebi also recalled the controversial situation that occurred at the SAFA competition. According to him, that event can happen only once, and it is important that such mistakes are not repeated in the final. "If you remember, we received a red card in the fifth minute of that match. There is no doubt that this had a great influence on the fate of the game. I hope that this time we will achieve our goal - the championship," he said.
The footballer also said that he was sidelined for two months due to an injury, during which he required constant preparation and mental stability. "Many didn't know that I was injured. But that difficult period is behind me. Now I am in full physical form and have rejoined the team. Coach Amir Galenoyi's trust means a lot to me. I want to justify this trust with my game," he said.
Mohebi also mentioned that he returned to form through intensive training after the injury and fully trained with the team. In his opinion, the Iranian national team is approaching the final with a close lineup, but the absence of some leaders is noticeable. "Of course, such prominent figures as Sardor Azmun, Mehdi Taremi, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are no longer here. When they return, our team's performance will improve. "Our players shouldn't get injured - that's the most important thing," he added.
The Iranian national team member's comments provided interesting information for fans ahead of the final. We hope that today's match will be an opportunity for both teams to showcase their potential, and fans will watch strong, meaningful, and courageous football.
