Iran\u2019s head coach, Amir Ghalenoei, has said Fifa\u2019s president, Gianni Infantino<\/a>, must \u201cstand up\u201d to the US after reiterating his belief that the co-hosts have treated his team \u201cvery unfairly\u201d.<\/p>\n

Iran will qualify for the World Cup knockout stage for the first time if results go their way in the next 24 hours, but after a dramatic draw<\/a> against Egypt in Seattle, in which Shoja Khalilzadeh had a stoppage-time winner ruled offside and Saeid Ezatolah headed against the bar, they were left frustrated with more than just the result.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Infantino visited Iran\u2019s dressing room after their Group G opener against New Zealand<\/a>, telling the squad \u201cyou are stronger than everything\u201d, but while Ghalenoei maintains Infantino has tried his utmost to help them, ultimately little has changed since the tournament began. The head coach previously described Iran as the \u201cmost oppressed\u201d team<\/a> at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Mr Infantino has tried his best to minimise the problems as much as possible but it was the host that wasn\u2019t very good to us,\u201d Ghalenoei said in his post-match press conference. \u201cI urge Fifa<\/a> to not let the hosts treat teams and players the same way in the future. I hope Mr Infantino will actually stand up to such behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s captain, Mehdi Taremi, criticised Fifa\u2019s handling of the situation and referenced the 11 senior officials who were denied entry to the United States. \u201cSince the beginning, it\u2019s a disaster World Cup<\/a>. I mean, Fifa, they have to solve every problem here but unfortunately this they couldn\u2019t solve since the beginning. Mr Infantino came to our changing room [after the] first game and he said: \u2018It\u2019s just the beginning.\u2019 But [the] group stage finishes tomorrow and we don\u2019t have our logistic people here, they don\u2019t have a visa. How [is that] possible?\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether there was a feeling that the US and Fifa wanted Iran<\/a> out of the tournament, the Olympiakos forward said: \u201cWe have to fight against everything here. I don\u2019t know what people want or know, but as we see it by our perspective, yeah, they\u2019d like that, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran were due to land in Tijuana, Mexico \u2013 where they are based after being forced to switch training base<\/a> before the tournament \u2013 at 3am on Saturday after being denied permission to stay in Seattle. Ghalenoei added: \u201cTo my players and the team, I want to say to them I\u2019m proud of them, what these young people, these players have done, it should be written in history because the host country treated us very unfairly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Taremi<\/a><\/figure>\n

<\/gu-island><\/p>\n

\u201cHad the host country allowed us to arrive two weeks earlier, we would have been more prepared. They were reasonable, rational demands. We would have been able to recover and be in better shape physically and mentally; however, they deprived us of that justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you play in a match, physically, scientifically, our bodies are at a low and when you suddenly go on a flight, that actually postpones your recovery and this is the third time they are doing this to us, we have to leave from here to the airport and we have to return to Tijuana and it will take us some three hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir behaviour towards us has been really terrible and we hope the world will be aware of that. They didn\u2019t let us come two weeks earlier and two days earlier before every game. This has really hurt us. And we had a war as well. Despite all of these problems, we\u2019ve been able to perform well and the world is proud of Iranians and our team. I think that\u2019s our greatest achievement despite all the obstacles and the hurdles they put in our way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s head coach, Hossam Hassan, played down fears their captain, Mohamed Salah, could miss Friday\u2019s last-32 date with Australia in Dallas after the former Liverpool winger requested to be substituted approaching the hour. \u201cIf a player asks to be substituted, it means he felt something,\u201d Hassan said. \u201cI talked to Salah and he said he\u2019s going to be OK and it\u2019s not a big injury. We still have time to talk to the medical staff, I think he will be back and when I spoke to Salah he assured me he\u2019s going to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
