TEHRAN, Team Melli analyst, Human Afazeli, is heading to UAE next week to visit Bayern Munich's winter-break camp. The stay will be about one week.

"I am going to watch the practices and the style of preparation",Human Afazeli said of the reason to go. He believes it is always good to find out if any new ideas have come around. "In addition, I will take a closer look at Ali Karimi's current condition", he added.

When Human was asked about the Asian Cup draw for Iran, he responded: "We are not in easy group. Korea Republic is traditionally a powerhouse in Asia. Syria has always played good against Iran, and is far from being easy. Nevertheless, I am guessing that Iran and Korea will be the two teams to advance."
