Iran's coach confronts BBC journalist at World Cup over questions about protests 🟢 Speaking after the press conference to preview Iran’s clash with Wales, Queiroz asked Shaimaa Khalil: “Why don’t you ask Mr Southgate about Afghanistan?” iPaperSport
“Why do you ask us these kind of questions?” he said. “I have the right to talk with you. The press conference is finished, is it not fair to ask these questions to the other coaches?The Portuguese coach has chosen to avoid the subject on many occasions but had already made a greater effort to make his point during the press conference.
“I’ve been all over the world and what I can say about Iranian people is that I see people smiling, I see people crying,” he began. “They love to dance, they love football. I see people in the traffic driving kids to school. This is what I can say. “You ask if it is fair that people ask questions. It is their right but they should ask the same questions of the others causing problems around the world.
“My job is to give them one opportunity to be happy. To make them [the players] the only people that need to give answers about human problems is not fair or right. It is time to ask other coaches and players about other issues.”
