We received a note from Mr Sadegh Deroudgar about the relationship between Ansarifard and Menezes.

"It's false that Menezes cannot participate in Iran national team. We have a big program to use his valuable experience in Iran for improving our futsal. We have an under 21 team, a B team, the Super league and under 12 and 15 tournaments. We are working with Menezes for a professional league and also for "A" national team, we are using all his knowledge. He can always come to the national camp, he is a very important guest for Iranian football federation. We are doing our best tokeeping him in good situation"

Mr. Sadegh Deroudgar
Head of futsal committee & manager of all national team

In addition we can publish an interview of Ansarifard in which is explained that Menezes can watch the Iranian trainings without problems, even if he can't take part in an active way.

Ansarifard said in the press conference: "Menezes is a guest and we respect him, like what I did with Hermans some years ago. We should use his help in the best way we can. I welcome him. In addition I told him that I'm his student (in Menezes courses) and I hope that we can help together Iranian futsal in improving its level. He asked me to attend in all tranings, but i declined. I told him it's not possible. He can only tell us his opinions as an advisor and technical assistant".
Ansarifard added : "We have to think about our national benefits. I can't tell him all secrets of the team in his short contract that will be last just 2 months. Maybe he'll be the coach of our opponents later."
