Javad Nkounam, Tractor head coach: Al Ain cleverly got three points/Iran has no problem hosting in the Asian Champions League We were the only team to force Al Ain to defend and we played better for about 70 minutes. First we conceded a wrong goal, then we equalized by creating many chances, but then we conceded with a surprise pass. El Ain was professional and we lost because of their cleverness. Despite the injury to three top players and two stars, we played well. If we were at home, we would have 80,000 spectators and we could beat any team. We have problems of lack of players and flights, but Iran is safe and teams can come. The reason for not hosting Iranian teams is unclear and I hope the Asian Football Confederation will reconsider. Our focus is on the league and we have little chance of promotion in Asia.
