SEATTLE (USA), June 27 - RIA Novosti. Iranian football players will relax on the beach in Mexico when they learn that they have qualified from the group, head coach Amir Galenoi said.

“Tomorrow, if we find out that we are out, we will go to the beach,” Galenoi said at a press conference after the draw with Egypt.

He said that the team does not leave the hotel location, neither in the United States before the matches, nor in Mexico, where it is based. “We came to play, not to rest,” the coach said.

“We have to wait until tomorrow,” Galenoi said about the team’s prospects for the playoffs.

“We are ready to play with any team at the next stage,” the coach emphasized.
