Hamid Babazadeh in an interview with Tasnim News Agency sports reporter, regarding Esteghlal’s championship in the 21st season of the Premier League, said: “I congratulate Fahim Esteghlal fans and the club’s management, technical staff and team players on this championship.” At the beginning of the season, no one expected the championship from this young team, as well as the technical staff, who were also young. In the matches of this season, Farhad Majidi and his colleagues did a great job and the players showed more and more of their abilities day by day, and we saw that they played great, especially in the last games against Sepahan Steel and Mes.
He added: “Due to the large margins that were created for the team from the beginning of the season, both indoors and outsiders, the team with a lot of tact and high intelligence kept their focus and did not catch any current and did a really great job.” With the results achieved by Esteghlal in the Premier League this year, all the players played their role in the team’s championship well, which is commendable.
The former Esteghlal coach said about the performance of the team’s goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini this season: “He spent his best year as a goalkeeper this year and played an important role in the team’s championship along with other players. I should also congratulate Vera Ghafouri for playing the role of captain. He did extraordinary things. He had an acceptable performance both on and off the field.
Regarding Farhad Majidi’s role in the success of Esteghlal team, Babazadeh said: “Majidi played a significant role in this championship and I should congratulate him.” The presence of this coach and winning the championship title of Esteghlal promised a great coach for Iranian football.
