\"AFCGoa: Coach Abbas Chamanian has urged Islamic Republic of Iran to achieve what they set out to do and win the AFC U-16 Championship India 2016 title ahead of Sunday’s<\/span><\/span> final with Iraq at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.<\/p>\n

Iran sealed their place in a first final since winning the competition in 2008 after a 6-5 penalty shootout victory over defending champions DPR Korea in Thursday’s<\/span><\/span> semi-final followed a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

Chamanian’s side must now overcome neighbours Iraq, who ran out impressive 4-2 victors over Japan in Thursday’s<\/span><\/span> other last-four fixture, if they are to claim a second continental crown.<\/p>\n

“Iraq are a very strong team that attacks very well. They have quality and dangerous players who are physical with good technique,” said Chamanian, whose side also secured their place in the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup by seeing off Vietnam 5-0 in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

“We have analysed Iraq and we know it will be a very difficult match. If we want to achieve success the players will need to be at their best.<\/p>\n

“But from the start of the tournament our top priority was to get to the final and win the competition. We’ve prepared the players only to think about winning the trophy.”<\/p>\n

Mohammad Sharifi’s first-half goal saw Iran go into the interval a goal to the good against DPR Korea only for Kim Pom-hyok to equalise late on and take the semi-final to penalties.<\/p>\n

With the shootout at 5-5 goalkeeper Ali GholamZadeh stepped up to score before returning to his line to save from Kim Kyong-sok as the Iranians progressed to their third final at the AFC youth event.<\/p>\n

“From the start of the competition we have been very successful,” added Chamanian. “Every game has been a new experience and every game has been successful.<\/p>\n

“Against DPR Korea we controlled their players and that is what we must do against Iraq in order to win. We have a game plan to control the match.”<\/p>\n

But unable to call on injured captain ArefAlipour since Matchday Two, Chamanian now has fresh concerns over influential midfielder Mohammad Ghaderi and defender SaeidAhani ahead of a first meeting with Iraq at the competition since a scoreless draw in the 2006 group stage.<\/p>\n

“It was a very hard game against DPR Korea,” said Chamanian. “We have had a good recovery but tomorrow<\/span><\/span> there is a chance Alipour, Ghaderi and Ahani will miss the game through injury.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
