The Iraqi public is angry.. Where is the Manchester United player?

The Iraqi national team's fans expressed their anger at the Serbian coach Petrovic, who was late in including Manchester United player Zidane Iqbal in the match that Iran won over Iraq with a clean goal after he included him in the 82nd minute of the match despite his technical capabilities. And a distinct mentality that he learned and trained in the ancient English club.

Zidane Iqbal said in a press statement after the match, "I am happy to make the first appearance with the national team despite the loss," without addressing the few minutes he participated in.

In his comments on social media, the Iraqi public asked: “Where is the Manchester United player?” Noting that “Zidane Iqbal participated in a few minutes and was influential in his bid and created a valuable opportunity to score the equalizer that was not invested by another colleague who was in the six yards area. So where is the player from the game as a whole?

For his part, the "Iraq Sport" website quoted statements by the head of the Iraqi National Team Supporters Association, Mahdi Al-Karkhi, in which he said: "Petrovic is not a coach, but how can he involve a player coming from Manchester United for a very few minutes and the team is behind by a goal for nothing!"

The public's statements agreed that the technical staff did not succeed in investing in Zidane's capabilities, nor more than one player who plays in the European leagues, and that calling the players and not engaging them for a sufficient time is surprising.

The Iranian team succeeded in qualifying for the World Cup Qatar 2022, benefiting from its victory over Iraq and reaching the 19th point, before the conclusion of the qualifiers in three rounds.
