Carlos Kiros believes that football is lagging behind Europe in other continents.
According to the Iranian coach, the World Cup selection process is putting Asia and Africa in disadvantage in comparison to European countries.
Kazan Aranya defeated Iran 1-0 in their second match of the Group 'B' on Wednesday in Spain.
Diego Costa scored the only goal in the 54th minute of the match.
There is still the possibility of an out-of-knockout stage in Iran, winning 1-0 in the first match against Morocco.
In that case, the Asia team will get points against Portugal in their last match in the group.
Asked whether Asia's football was coming up in Europe, Kiros said: "My opinion is just the opposite: two years ago I said that European football has improved rapidly from other countries and continents, and other continents are fighting. ... the gap between Asia and Africa More. "
"There are some groups like Morocco or Senegal who we call African teams but they are not African teams, they are African players in Europe, so players who benefit from playing in Europe can also support national teams. This is my clear opinion from the 37 years of experience in football . "
Iran has played 18 matches for the 2018 World Cup tickets from the Asian Football Confederation.
Where the European teams play only 10 matches.
Kerosis expressed sorrow in the region of Europe, in such a way that the regions like Asia with Europe.
The 65-year-old Portuguese coach feels that it will continue to do so if the rules do not change.
"Asia and Africa's development plans can not be exactly the same as in Europe, you can not say Iran like Germany, Brazil and Portugal in the same way for a match in World Cup qualification, and there is no justification for it."
