Koch believes in his team

PLDC - After a three day rest, Esteghlal has been summoned for training once again before the start of the Professional League in October. Koch spoke a few short words to the press during the first practice session, "We will not underestimate any of our opponents. We are waiting to play against Al Faisal of Jordan (preliminary Asian Cup matches) and we will get the film of their games soon."

"We will try to finish them off in Tehran and think of the future in a better frame of mind. I completely believe in my team. We will begin intensive training from this week and we also plan to review our tactics again."

"I have three prepared goalkeepers at present and all of them are in good shape. I don’t know who will be the goalkeeper for the new season as yet."
