Iranian ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Saeid Koozechi has warned the Super Eagles not to underrate the Iranian national or expect to stroll past them when both meet on June 16 for their group F opening match at next month’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Mr Koozechi said the Asian minnow will be a surprise package at the World Cup and will shock Nigeria. He said the Iranians will be a tough nut for the African champions crack.
Ambassador Koozechi, speaking at the final of the 2014 Centenary Unity Polo tournament in Abuja on Sunday, believes that the Iranians have a sound technical bench and quality professional players that would help them scale any hurdle posed by Coach Stephen Keshi and his boys in Brazil.
