Ahead of the meeting at the World Cup: Courtois warns about the Iranian team

Ahead of the tense meeting in the World Cup tournament, Belgium national team goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, addressed the ability of the Iranian national team. In an interview published in آخرین خبر ورزشی, Courtois emphasized that his team does not intend to underestimate the Asian opponent, noting that the Belgian coaching staff has already analyzed the qualities of the Iranian players in depth.

According to the goalkeeper, Iran demonstrated impressive ability in its last game against New Zealand, which led him to the conclusion that this is a team that can surprise. "We cannot predict how the game will develop, they can be dangerous," Courtois declared, while specifically noting the threats from Mehdi Taremi and Ramin Rezaeian.

Courtois added that the Iranians often threaten the goal and rely on dangerous crosses into the box. "Sometimes you think you won't need many saves, but during the game you are required to have high involvement," he explained. The official Iranian news agency خبرگزاری ایرنا, which is identified with Tehran's official line, echoed these remarks as evidence of the team's rising power in the international arena.

In conclusion, the Belgian goalkeeper emphasized that his team's main goal is to score first and keep a clean sheet, but clarified that he is prepared for moments when Iran will exert pressure on the Belgian defense.
