The handler of Iran’s U-17 national team, Ali
Doustimehr has doubted the ages of Golden Eaglets players after the Nigerian team
trounced his side 4-1 in the second round of the on-going U-17 World Cup in
UAE. He said the Nigerian side didn’t play like teenagers. Read his comments
after the cut…
“The
Eaglets were the better side. I am happy with FIFA for bringing up such
tournament which has helped to ensure peace and friendship among the youths of
the world. I have been in this job for over 30 years and I have been coaching
the National team for 20 years. The way the Eaglets played today (yesterday)
and in their matches showed that they can’t be teenagers but if they are truly
within the age bracket, it shows that Nigeria will have a very strong national
team in the future.I didn’t say that they are overage but if they truly Under
17 I wish them luck. My players are young and inexperienced and it counted
against Nigeria”.
