TEHRAN (Tasnim) Iran beach soccer goalkeeper Mehdi Mirjalili says that Team Melli is going to win 2025 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

Mirjalili was one of the stars of the last FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, and hes already sizzling in the Seychelles. After helping Iran edge Mauritania in its curtain-raiser, he was magnificent in a 5-1 reverse of Paraguay. His performance inside The Paradise Arena included two stunning saves and a trademark wonder goal.

I thank Movahed (Mohammadpour) for saying that I am the best goalkeeper in the world, said Mirjalili. Its not for me to say if Im the best. I train really hard. I do three sessions per day. Im always trying to improve.

I have to thank my team-mates for being able to score goals. They have confidence in me, and that enables me to try things, to attempt passes, to go for goal.

Their movement is good, they get in good positions for me, free up space for me, he added.

The Iranian people have their fingers crossed for us. We will fight for our country, for our flag, for our people, Mirjalili concluded.
