Iran Confirm Friendly With Guinea On March 5

As part of their build up for the Brazil 2014 World Cup, Iran National Team will play Guinea in a friendly game on March 5, coach Carlos Queiroz has announced.

The Asia powerhouse have been drawn in Group F alongside African opponents Nigeria, Argentina and Bosnia.

“We’ve received several offers for friendly matches but playing friendly against Guinea is my top priority since they have European-based players. The match will be held on March 5.

To play Congo is also in our program,” Querioz was quoted as saying by persianfootball.com.

“As part of the preparation for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, we are also going to face three European teams as well.

“We should be ready for the World Cup and play with enthusiasm and tenacity,” the Portuguese added.

“Please don’t compare us to Spain or Germany. Everybody compares us to the teams should be nominated for Comedian of the 21st Century award.

It took 80 years to win the titles for Spain,” former Real Madrid coach added.

“It’s a good opportunity for Iran football to play three good teams at the World Cup with three different styles. It’s an impossible mission for us to book a berth in the next stage.

“Of course I believe that there is no easy group in the competition,” Carlos Queiroz said.
