The international striker added appropriate plans should be adopted to attract the young generation toward sporting fields.
Skipper Daei said the media particularly the press can play an effective role in creating a sound culture of sport.
They may have a negative role as well. If the negative deeds of a sportsman are aggrandized, the juniors ad youth may follow them,
warned the footballer.
"Sport helps the young people get rid of many psychological problems," said the veteran player adding those sports which deal with
the spirit can relieve psychological pressure, depression, and stress.
