Bayani: Esteghlal is on the way to success/ the national team does not have the necessary factors to advance

In an interview with Fars news agency’s sports reporter, Shahin Bayani said about the condition of the Esteghlal team after 6 weeks: As time passes, Sapinto gets to know more about both his own team and the opposing teams. We see that the conditions of independence are getting better day by day. However, Sapinto still does not know enough about the team’s players. With the addition of people like Yazdani to the defense line, Esteghlal will find better conditions.

The meeting with Pikan should not be compared with the match against Nasaji

Regarding the quality of Esteghlal against Nasaji, he said: All the teams in the league are on the same level. Textiles are no exception to this rule. In this game, we created a lot of scoring opportunities and the balls turned into goals. This shows that a team is on the way to success. When a team has 10 scoring chances in a game, it means they had a good performance and I hope this situation will continue in the following weeks.

The veteran of Esteghlal stated: “We didn’t have a chance to score against Pikan, like in the game with a lot of textile, and these two games should not be compared.” As more matches pass, Esteghlal can create more scoring chances. A team that plays good football is obvious on the pitch. Esteghlal showed good conditions against Nasaji and I hope this trend will continue. I think the league vacation will help Esteghlal so that Sapinto can work on more players and get to know them more.

Esteghlal still needs a playmaker

Regarding the fact that according to Esteghlal’s performance against Pikan and Nasaji, many believe that the Blues have come closer to Sapinto’s words about having an offensive team, Bayani said: I hope this will happen. This year, there are good people in the team, both in the defensive line and in the offensive department. However, a game maker is still needed. Someone who can make plays in front of the defense line and behind the attackers and give a deep pass. We have not found such a nut yet, but I hope we will get to this point soon.

Regarding refereeing issues that bothered Esteghlal in the last 6 weeks, he said: “All games are the same.” For example, in this week’s Persepolis game, the result could have changed. Until VAR enters our football, we are still facing these problems.

The former captain of Esteghlal stated that three people from the national team’s list were left out: We should consider the people who helped Keirosh in this selection. He, who has no knowledge of our football conditions, has not been in our league and has not seen these people. 100% of a team helped him and we have to see how close their thoughts are to the thoughts of the head coach. It is not possible to make an accurate choice with two training sessions.

Talking about promotion creates negative pressure for the national team

Referring to the conditions of the national team, he added: We have many people who can help the national team. We deserve to provide acceptable games, but our work is very difficult. It’s not like we think that we can climb the group anytime soon. It is true that nothing is predictable in football, but we have a difficult task ahead of us. With the recent events, I don’t think we will be able to climb the group. Just being able to provide an acceptable game can be enough.

Bayani said: The national team has been dealing with problems recently. If we had peace, the work would be much easier, but after these events, the work becomes much more difficult. Climbing is not easy. This happens when everything is in its place, but we saw that this was not the case. These talks create negative pressure for the national team. Our football fans would like this to happen, but they should know that we can talk about promotion when we have many factors. We do not have these invoices now. I hope we will provide acceptable and quality games before we think about climbing from the group.
