Uli Stielike, the Head Coach of South Korea , dismissed any notions of a revenge match ahead of the friendly in 100.000 capacity Azadi stadium on Tuesday.

“After our win in Jordan , we are here in Iran to continue our preparation for the Asian Cup and hopefully play a strong match .”

“I have a pretty good idea about Iran’s team and as one of the qualified teams to the World Cup , I watched their matches and can say that they played well and were at a high standard. I think we will see a good match on Tuesday”

 “We have no thoughts of revenge or anything like that in our mind. We simply want to play a good game against a tough opposition who are themselves, candidates for the AFC Asian Cup title.”

“I have heard quite a bit about the atmosphere in Azadi stadium with their vociferous crowds and would like to taste it firsthand. I hope we get good many numbers of fans in Azadi.”

Ulrich ‘Uli’ Stielike, who started his coaching career as the head coach of the Switzerland national football team from 1989 to 1991, trained several teams before joining South Korea on 5th September 2014

As a player, the German defender won the European Championship in 1980 and was a runner-up in the 82 World Cup.
