Naft Coach Mansourian Bemoans Missing Chances against El Jaish
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Naft Tehran coach Alireza Mansourian said they could have won the match against El Jaish but his players missed their chances.
The Iranian team suffered a 2-0 loss to Qatari side in AFC Champions League Playoffs in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium on Tuesday.
“It was a closely-fought match,” said Mansourian.” We lost the game to the professional displays from some of our rivals’ players. We had chances to level and even win the match but our players wasted their chances.
“I congratulate Sabri Lamouchi and the El Jaish players. Defeating Naft at the Azadi Stadium was not a simple task,” Mansourian added.
