TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran coach Carlos Queiroz said that three-time champion has only played two friendly matches since the 2014 FIFA World Cup but is looking forward to Sunday�s AFC Asian Cup Australia 2015 Group C opener against Bahrain.



Iran defeated Iraq 1-0 in Sydney on Sunday following on from its victory against Korea Republic by the same scoreline in Tehran in November.





�We are looking forward to playing this game against Bahrain, but now it is time to rest and train and prepare ourselves mentally,� former Real Madrid coach told the-afc.com.
�We have not improved since the World Cup. It is worse now because we have not had the preparation we should have.

�When you gamble too much with bad preparation, your chances are not as high as before,� he added.
