Foolad Coach Disappointed with Loss against Al-Sadd


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foolad coach Jesus Javier Noble was disappointed with the defeat against Al-Sadd in Group D of the AFC Champions League on Monday.

The loss ended Foolad’s chances of a first place finish, but Javier Nobl said the Iran side will push to finish second and hopefully advance.

“I want to congratulate Al-Sadd for the win, and wish the team good luck in its final match,” said Noble.

“It made us work hard on the pitch from left to right. We had some good chances in the first half, and in the second we hoped to open the scoring, but it had a nice goal. Right after Al-Sadd scored, we had a golden opportunity but couldn’t score,” the Spanish coach added.

“We have a young squad, and this is the result of their best efforts. We have one match left and will try to win it. We have played all our matches with all we have, and we will keep giving our best, no doubt about that,” Javier Noble said.
