You have played uninspired games, you walk on the field and we feel like you don't even reach half of your potential. In the last several years, I have been involved with the World cup qualifications, the World Cup itself, and I have tried to do my best at all times. The expectation of Iranian fans is that better and better is always there, and I will try to do that on the field. And in the future especially if it is a national game, I will do the same. And I will do better and better all the time.
Every single game is important.
But I think the one that has affected Iranians most is Iran vs. Australia, in which Iran qualified for the world cup after 20 years. That made Iran really happy. Millions of people came into the streets and celebrated until all hours of the morning. That game will be the one that is going to be celebrated and be in my memory for a long time. My religious practice is always number one because that is what gives me the strength.
