We will do our best tomorrow as well.”
Iran player Milad Ebadipour: “We tried our best to win this game and put in a 100% effort. There was an opportunity to win this game against Brazil. This Japan round is very important to go to the final 6, but we lost. But we will try to adjust our condition for another victory.”

Brazil assistant coach Marcelo Fronckowiak: “I am very happy about this result. It was a hard game against Iran and I would like to congratulate Iran for the great match.

Iran coach Igor Kolakovic: “Congratulations to the Brazil team. This was a tough game against Brazil. We lost 3-2 and are not satisfied by the result. There is not often an opportunity to battle with Brazil and this was a great experience for the young players. There was a chance to win but our players need to focus on the next game.”
