Iran midfielder Javad Nekounam denied sarcastic media fabrication about sending love emails to the national coach Afshin Ghotbi. "We don't have these things in Iranian football. No player has ever sent a love note to a coach. I am too embarrassed to even utter these words," the Osasuna midfielder added.

"Some people want to hurt Iran's football. They mean to disrespect the team; however, they won't succeed," Javad Nekounam said.

"I will take up the matter in an Iranian court. I won't let them publish fake interviews attributed to me," Iran captain stated.

Meanwhile, Nekounam praised Iran's performance against Singapore in the Asian Cup 2011 qualifier.

"Iran beat Singapore 3-1, but we could have scored two more goals. Some players made mistakes and we conceded a goal in the match," Nekounam said.
