Azizi Khadem: I got the answer I expected for my complaint/ People are the best judges

In an interview with Fars, Shahab Azizikhadem said about the latest status of his complaint against the members of the Football Federation’s board of directors to the court: “The important thing is that I got my answer and we were waiting for this answer.” Some people see themselves beyond the law and feel like they are heavy-handed. Our federation came from the heart of assembly, development, lawfulness, but the gentlemen came from the heart of conspiracy. Our understanding of development was correct and our federation was a display of merit, honesty, truth, correctness, efficiency and purity, but not demonstrative lies.

He added: Iranian people are aware and understanding. They recognize, and it is the revelation of the Sun, who are true and true servants and who are deceived based on lies and deceit. The results of our national team show this. Everyone saw what brilliant results happened in all areas during our period. Football, which had become a monster, but we had the fastest promotion to the World Cup, we paid off the debts, we brought football to peace in all areas, and after Argentina, the Iranian national team had the most continuous wins in the world, and these issues encouraged the people and Iran’s name had been resounding, Omid team started its work since our time, talent search started properly, women’s football was on track and the history-breaking senior national team was moving forward, but with a conspiracy, they took all these joys from the people. .

Referring to the actions of this federation during his period in the field of development, the former president of the Football Federation stated: The great work we did in this field, and the opening of which was talked about in the coming days, was that four training fields, one of which is a hybrid We built on Kish Island and turned this island into a football base for the country. In the diplomatic field, we signed a 4-year coherent agreement with the Qataris that all the national teams of our country can benefit from free accommodation and food by being present in this country. We closed the memorandum of understanding of Camp Spire. We moved forward the works related to 32 thousand hectares of land with Hamid Sajjadi, the Minister of Sports, so that Iran becomes the hub of the region, and if this oppression had not happened, its implementation would have started now, and the countries of Central Asia could also use it.

Azizi Khadem continued: The national team had the best welfare conditions and facilities, its bonuses were given and its flights were completely free. Iranian football had entered a new phase, but when the gentlemen saw that football was on the rails, out of jealousy, malice and insulting the people and confronting them, they did this with the football that every Iranian in all parts of the world was proud of. This football was taken to regression. Advancing to the World Cup and the Nations Cup brought about 16 million dollars to the federation’s account, of course, this money is in FIFA and AFC. All these issues took place at first by God’s grace and then by the efforts of me and my colleagues, because everyone remembers that before we came, we had lost the chance to advance to the Nations Cup to a great extent. My colleagues and I did this collective work. After advancing to the World Cup, about 90 billion Tomans worth of tickets were sold, which are now included in the financial statements of the federation. That is, we globalized a bankrupt federation that had gone to the bottom of the earth. He was placed in an international environment in a situation where there was neither hope nor chance.

He pointed out: the world is full of punishments and nothing is lost in this world. The world is a mirror. You can’t sow conspiracy, hypocrisy, lies and hatred and go to the war of righteousness and honesty. What had I done? The same members of the Board of Directors received a bonus of about 700 dollars for advancing to the World Cup. What happens that after I leave in this economic situation, they take 20,000 dollars and they have a lot of big claims. Now the issue of coins has been raised. This behavior and performance has caused a general disgust in the society. Why did they attribute so many insults, lies and slander to a federation that had proper financial discipline and worked with strength, purity and honesty. Now you see what comes out of men whose process is to create debt and trap debt. Inefficient people do not know anything except to harm and lie.

The former head of the federation stated: You cannot reach a place with oppression and expect it to bear fruit. I am sure that each and every one of these people will be tried in the Supreme Court with a heavy fine and more than what they think because they made people’s taste bitter. Everyone sat for free in the federation train that we laid the rail and football had found its way. What was the need to hit this football and destroy it?

Referring to the Wilmots case, Azizi Khadem said: “You will see the heavier dimensions of this tragedy in the near future.” Our team of lawyers, including Rafiei, Watouq Ahmadi, and a Spanish lawyer, whose money we paid every moment in euros, followed the matter for a year and we were able to reduce the 6.5 million euros request of this coach to 3.5 million euros. This was a great achievement because we have to defend the rights of the people, but apart from this amount, the property of the Football Federation and Persepolis Club has been mortgaged in this case due to the debt to Shasta. Now, the people who destroyed the federation building brick by brick caused this building, which was bought during the time of Mohammad Dadkan, to be no longer owned by the federation. These same people are now claimants and they wasted the financial resources and facilities that we had prepared and once again put the federation in debt.

Azizikhadem stated: Now Shasta has written and wants to rent. Otherwise, they should evacuate the federation building. Bringing Wilmots was a mistake and a strategic error. Why make a commitment when you don’t have the financial resources? The price of this property has now increased at least 4-5 times, and if it is approved, the Federation building and 3 dongs of the Persepolis building will cost more than 400-300 billion tomans. Who wants to take them back? Why do such people allow themselves to return?

He added: “If I want to file a complaint, my complaint will not be processed in the ethics committee for a year and a half.” After 2 months, they come from an illegal dismissal, they deprive us who have served so much and worked properly. In a situation where we presented a new style. Iranian football was developed as a model for other organizations, bodies and even ministries to emulate. What happened to football, whose ashes were blown away, a year after our presence in all areas, in terms of development and results, it was busy becoming the best in Asia? In this football, we did not have a single practice field, but we were proud against the economic giants of Asia and made the name of Iran famous.

The former head of the federation said: “Over 500-600 billion has been spent on the Wilmots project, and nothing has been closed yet.” I don’t know the condition of this coach’s assistants. My question is, those people who consciously erased themselves in the name of illness and heartache, how will they find their heads again? They had turned football into an empty desert and all their beliefs were imaginary, but we made this football Golestan and built it. The football that Asia was proud of and had produced unity, national pride and public enthusiasm. However, they once again turned football into a desert in which they can only believe in fantasy. As an Iranian, I want to do something for compassionate people who can do something. Maybe they can go and buy a shanty or a tent for the federation! Because these are not expensive yet. Do not doubt that these things will happen soon.

Azizikhadem added: When the euro was 12,000 tomans, these gentlemen took 2 million euros from Fanavaran Petrochemicals to pay Wilmots’ claim. In our time, 25 billion Tomans were paid to Shasta, but negligence, negligence and wrong contract gave this company the space to demand its money at the daily price of Euro. The gentlemen signed a contract with Wilmots, which had no framework or custom. He also came and destroyed our football as a result, financial resources and social capital. Shasta had nothing to do with us. The men went to him. If you see that you cannot provide financial resources, you would put a coach like Ghalenoui in charge of the team. You could have even told this coach that we don’t have money and don’t doubt that he would have come to the national team because of the name of Iran, not to destroy the social capital of a country, leave for a while and then come back by easing the conditions and show yourself as a savior. Finally, make the worst results in history.

He stated: I wish that not a single brick will be removed from the Federation building, but the right of Shasta Company, which belongs to the people, must be given. I spoke with Shasta managers several times during Soltanifar’s ministry. We spoke with Shariatmadari and Abdul Maliki, former ministers of labor. We have paid part of the debt to Shasta and we were looking to pay the second part either in the form of advertising or by paying 4-5 checks. After we left, the federation was run for 7-8 months under illegal and unethical conditions. An important part of this contract was not following up on the discussion, and difficult conditions are ahead for football. One of the important tasks that we are concerned about is the provision of resources. In this matter, not only did we pay the debts, but we settled all the players’ bonuses for advancing to the World Cup after the game with Iraq, when our advancement was confirmed. Even some players came to me asking for bonuses from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but despite the high price of the dollar, we settled the bonus they were entitled to.

The former president of the federation announced his actions for the construction of the new building of the federation in the National Football Center, and stated: We have taken the initial steps for the construction of this building and even reached the stage of free mockup design. The Iranian team had done this. If these events did not happen, we would have already started the executive operations of this building, just like the Kish lands. Without spending money, although the cost of the design was significant, this plan was prepared to build a 9-story building.

Regarding the status of his recent complaint and the fact that Mehdi Taj claimed that this complaint was rejected, Azizi Khadem explained: We got our answer and we were waiting for the same. Judgment is with the people. He plays the role of spokesperson, but when the ethics committee did not respond to my complaint, I went to court. Of course, if the vote is against me or the board, we can appeal. We will also consult with our legal team and lawyers. I had the same expectation and that is why we are moving forward with trust in God. It remains to be seen what our lawyers decide. We got the answer we were waiting for.
