Iran vs Brazil Match Preview
Brazil take on Iran in a scorching Middle East friendly
Brazil expect a return to winning ways under coach Mano Menezes
The five-time World Cup champions have made wholesale changes to their aging squad, and new Brazil manager Mano Menezes has selected barely a handful of the players that were starters under the former regime. Brazil have an undisputed abundance of talented players for every position; however, the tactics will rest solely with Menezes.
The new boss is under extreme scrutiny and is in charge for only his third game. An all out attack is required, and the coach will likely favour AC Milan players Robinho and Pato up front in attack. At the back, Brazil will rely on a rear-guard surge from Barcelona left-back Danny Alves. Chelsea defender Alex has been ruled out after suffering a thigh injury last weekend against Arsenal.
Iran also has experienced players in their squad, led by Osasuna midfielder Javad Nekounam. Keeping possession will be key, and coach Atfin Ghotbi will not want a repeat of Brazil’s recent 2-0 victory over the United States in August.
Instead, Iran will be hoping to stifle the returning flare of the South American giants, who are still trying to recover from their shock departure from last summer’s World Cup at the hands of the Dutch. Iran will fancy themselves as the home side being closer to their country for the fixture, and will undoubtedly have numerous fans supporting them in the stands.
Iran are coming off a recent loss of 2-1 to Kuwait, giving them their only bad result in 13 matches played this year. The team are on the brink of discovery, and are humbled by the fact they failed to qualify for the last World Cup.
The Persian team must tackle their aspirations in stages, and know success in Asia will bode well for their hopes of competing in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The friendly against the host nation will be anything but amicable, as the two sides have plenty to prove.
Brazil must overcome the scorching heat in the United Arab Emirates, and show the world that youth is the antidote to their recent woes. Iran has an opportunity to earn the respect of a continent, and the envy of the planet if they can close the gap on the most successful footballing nation.
Iran vs Brazil Match Report
Brazil tear apart Iran’s defense to net three goals
Pato scores for country after being left out of the World Cup in South Africa
Iran started well but saw their 5th minute goal ruled off-side. Dani Alves struck for the Brazilians from a perfectly delivered free kick in the 13th minute. The Barcelona left back swerved the ball with his right foot around the wall from distance beyond the box.
AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato doubled the score with a strike in front of goal in the 68th minute. Pato is part of the new look Brazilian side being shaped by coach Mano Menezes, in a effort to regain the team’s former glory.
Nilmar tapped home Brazil’s third goal in the 93rd minute to close out the game. Iran wasted the few chances they had, and were outplayed by the visitor’s attacking prowess. Menezes has now won his third game, and his squad will be confident his leadership is working. Iran has lost their second game in a row and will need to assess their defensive tactics.
