“We don’t have these things in Iranian football. No player has ever sent a love note to a coach. I am too embarrassed to even utter these words,” the Osasuna midfielder added.
“Some people want to hurt Iran’s football. They mean to disrespect the team; however, they won’t succeed,” Javad Nekounam said.
“I will take up the matter in an Iranian court. I won’t let them publish fake interviews attributed to me,” Iran captain stated.
Meanwhile, Nekounam praised Iran’s performance against Singapore in the Asian Cup 2011 qualifier.
“Iran beat Singapore 3-1, but we could have scored two more goals. Some players made mistakes and we conceded a goal in the match,” Nekounam said.
