According to the sports reporter of Tasnim News Agency, Persepolis was stopped in the 13th week of the Premier League with a scoreless draw against Pikan, a result that shook the Reds’ position at the top of the table and now, in the absence of Lukadia and Diabate, all fans have disappointed Persepolis’ offensive line. Is; But disappointment from what?!
Golmohammadi’s team is still at the top of the table and the situation is not that dire, but with the departure of Lucadia, Golmohammadi’s magazine in the front line is apparently empty again, to the extent that even this coach is not willing to use his Iranian strikers and the game without a striker. He prefers Daniyal Esmailifar’s presence in the attack line to Mehdi Abdi and Hamed Pakdel, two players who led Persepolis’ attack line in most matches last season, and Abdi was even mentioned as the second star of the Reds after his brilliance in Asia!
In the press conference after the match with Pikan, Golmohammadi said in response to a question about this: “We have to give confidence and focus to our players. We must provide the conditions for the player to find himself. Game by game, I am sure our players will improve. We trust them. They definitely have the necessary abilities when they are in Persepolis. Pakdel and Abdi are our good players and we will need them in the next games. With good training and a positive mindset, we can bring them back.”
There is definitely no doubt about the technical decline of Abdi and Pakdel compared to the previous seasons. Two players who were clearly confused in the game with the arrow and did not even create a dangerous situation for themselves, but it seems that the benching and the lack of confidence of the technical staff have also destroyed the confidence of these players. Golmohammadi has rightly spoken about the importance of assuring the players and their concentration, but apparently no effort is made in practice.
on the other side of the coin; There is no accurate information about the performance of Abdi and Pakdel in Persepolis training and probably the benching of these two players has a direct relationship with their performance in training. In this situation, Abdi and Pakdel should make more efforts to prove themselves in the Persepolis lineup, and perhaps the separation of Lokadia and Diabate’s injury is the best opportunity to prove their abilities. In the days when Persepolis has problems in the offensive line every season and the foreign purchases of this team have also been unsuccessful, maybe trusting Iranian players can be the solution for the Palepus.
Persepolis club veteran Behnam Taherzadeh said in an interview with Tasnim: “With the departure of Lokadia and Diabate’s injury, the best opportunity has been given to Abdi and Pakdel to show themselves to Golmohammadi, but practically we don’t see anything from them in Persepolis games. And these two attackers have no motivation. We assume that Golmohammadi does not believe in these two players, but when the player sees that his head coach is not interested in using him, he tries to show himself if he goes to the field for even a minute and somehow imposes himself on the head coach of the team. slow, but we don’t see such conditions in the game of Abdi and Pakdel and we saw an indifferent game from them”.
However, the technical decline of Mehdi Abdi, who reached the national team with Persepolis, and Hamed Pakdel, who was once the star of the league with Aluminum Arak, is noticeable. Whether it is because of Yahya’s lack of trust in them or the lack of motivation and lack of focus of the players themselves; Whatever it is, it is a loss for Persepolis and a solution must be thought of.
