Iranian Football Team's Hope for Success

Nothing, what can I say? I don't know why we are so unlucky. Once, twice,

three times, four times, five times. I don't know what

sin our people committed to… I don't know, I just hope we qualify,

so they feel better. Our people deserve so much more than this, so much.

We worked our hearts out.

It didn't matter if we died today, whatever happened,

we just wanted our people to be happy. We've been fighting for nearly three months

without any expectations.

We players didn't ask for anything from anyone.

Every single one of these players is highly honorable.

They tried and ran like this only for the love of the people, so that their hearts…

I don't know why it doesn't happen. I just hope we qualify. I just hope that what

we deserve… We played such good football, I don't know why.

People of Iran, we love you so much, we're sorry. I can only say we're sorry.

All of us players are sorry. We played football so well,

but I don't know what's wrong with us. I hope you, who deserve the best in

this world, I hope you get what you deserve,

and I hope we qualify so we can bring a little joy to your hearts. Thank you all so,

so much. Ramin,

the whole stadium was chanting your name just now. We pushed hard at the end.

What are your thoughts on those final moments? Well, I'll tell you.

It wasn't just me— all the guys gave

it their all and pushed with all.

their heart and soul. I'm saying we deserved to win today. From every single…

Did you see how the guys celebrated when offside was called?

From the bottom of their hearts, as if we had won.

Congratulations to the guys and our coaching staff, who deserve so much more.

We Iranians lack nothing. And I hope we qualify. That's all I wish for.

Thank you, Ramin.
