According to the Mehr correspondent, Esteghlal Club was involved in the military service case of Siavash Yazdani and Mohammad Hossein Moradmand, two of their defenders, a few weeks ago; Even in a situation where this team was at the top of the league table and the number of goals conceded was the least of this team.
The dispute between Esteghlal Club and the Conscription Organization was eventually accompanied by an official statement from the organization and the final deployment of two defenders to military service; Even in the circumstances that the managers of Esteghlal Club emphasized until a few days ago, the two defenders of this team should not go to the army.
In the latest incident related to this case, the silence of Esteghlal defender Siavash Yazdani was broken and revealed new dimensions of Esteghlal Club’s gap in the military service story. Yazdani, who emphasizes that this is just a part of what he can do and still has a lot to say.
The details of the pro-independence dialogue are as follows:
The club used to tell me every day that it would be OK
Not good news. I was under a lot of pressure during this time. For some reason I have to be silent. I heard the words of my loved ones and told them to give a short explanation. I can not say everything. I try to speak honestly and defend my rights. I knew when the national team exemption would end. The club certainly knew. The club used to tell me every day that it would be OK and that something good would happen according to the Soldier-Hero Law. I said I do not have another month.
I went to the 10+ police and Majidi said you are not allowed to practice
I did not know at all what the army and the corps were. I was not looking for these things. I was looking for football. One or two days ago, I realized that I was the IRGC quota and I had to go to the Fajr team. The club and Farhad Majidi had relieved me. The situation was so bad that I went to the 10+ police myself to look for military work and arrived late to practice. Agha Farhad said that you are not allowed to practice. I said that my mental state is bad.
Ajurlu said why did you pursue your military!
They contacted Mr. Ajourlou (CEO of Esteghlal). He was upset and said, “Why did Siavash follow up? When I said ok, I ok.” I also said, relax my mind; When is it ok? Tell me if you can not. I feel that a fight has started between Esteghlal and the conscription system, and Muradmand and I did not know about it. The smoke of this challenge went to our eyes. If we were to become soldiers, they would say we would go to the Fajr team and play.
Siavash Yazdani
Siavash Yazdani was the victim; My future is ruined
They had talked to us for years. The club had relieved me and said that nothing bad would happen. If I knew I was the IRGC quota, I would go to the Fajr team. Even today (Monday) I was hopeful and went to Mashhad. I went to the locker room and said, “Fajr is closed; what should I do?” I want to speak easily. Siavash Yazdani was the victim. My future is falling apart. I worked hard for 30 years and reached this position. I became a player of Esteghlal and the national team. Those who know me know how hard I worked. My life is being ruined by a negligence. I do not know who to object to. Should I take my collar or the club or the duty system? Who will give me the answer to the future of ruin?
They said for 5 months, we will give you Fajr and bring you back
(Esteghlal managers) They tell me we will give you to Fajr and we will take you again and you will play for three months. They have been saying this to me for five months. If I was going to be a soldier, my homework would be known sooner and I would go and play. Why did they play with my future? what should I do? Should I go play sailor now? I worked so hard. There are four months left until the World Cup. What is my task?
The club said we will extend your contract
I feel that a fight broke out between them and the conscription system wanted to prove its rule of law, and Muradmand and I fell victim. If we were going to go, they would have said sooner. To this day, they say it will be OK. The club said it would be OK and we would extend your contract. I said you ok, I will extend.
The story of being deprived of a doctoral entrance exam
These aside. I was studying my lesson. I was a student. I put a story; I made a mistake. I represent the athletes in this country. I posted a story two hours before the entrance exam (doctorate) and said that a football player could be educated. The sports community should have supported me, but I was easily suspended for two years, otherwise I would be a student now and study for a doctorate for another five years. There, too, the assessment organization came to prove its rule of law, and Siavash Yazdani was beheaded. That year was the year of the Corona, and they did not pick up the phone during the entrance exam. All the students came with cell phones and did not even want an ID card. That year was an exceptional year.
Give me two months
I did not know whether I was in the IRGC or the army, which means I was so comfortable. I represent athletes. Soldier is sacred and we must go. I worked hard for 30 years. Give me two months to pass the entrance exam. I was a healthy young man in the country. The more I am silent, the more they hit me in the head. God does not like it. I made a mistake that my soul did not know. I was a healthy young man and a useful citizen. Give me two, three months to take the entrance exam again and go back to my studies and life.
My head is gone
If I serve, the future of my life is not clear where it will go and everything will be lost. My head is gone. My head and my life and my family. It was completely wrong. I do not know who was wrong. I extend my helping hand to the officials. The law should be a useful young supporter of society. I expect the law to support me. Now they have to support me because I was a useful citizen for the society. Please give me two or three months and I have several reasons; I was deprived of my lesson and the club told me so…

Soldier is not sacred to me now!
Soldiers are sacred, but in these circumstances they are not sacred to me. I did not say that I would not go to the army. Maybe many mistakes have been made in this country. The law can help me. Give me two or three months. I will be accepted to the entrance exam and go to my studies and life. This is happening to my future. Please help me. This decision may cause the youth of the country to deviate from its path and go to the dirt road.
I can not believe it and I have not seen such a day
My feeling is that they could have helped, but the interviews that took place were stubborn and the smoke went up in my eyes and in Muradmand. It was not a big deal. We did not say we will not become soldiers. I have been silent until now. I have not said anything. Maybe these professions will be to my detriment. I would like the law to help me. If they can and their hands are open until the entrance exam comes, they will give me a chance until May so that my sports future is not harmed. I took the trouble. I can not believe this happened to me. I said goodbye to the children at the airport today (Monday), I could not believe it. I did not see such a day. It has affected my whole life at once.
If they are at war with independence, let them go
I do not work for the club. My account side is the duty system. They have to put aside any war with independence. If they can help, please. The army is sacred and all young people must go. I have to go too. But give me a few months. Now Fajr Sepasi is closed. What should I do? I do not know where to go and where to introduce myself. I do not know anything. Just two days ago, I found out that I am the IRGC quota and Hussein (Muradmand) is the army.
Are you kidding me?
The club says until today that we have given you to Fajr and it will take you three months. I said are you kidding me? I have been employed for five months. In two days, the first division league window will be closed and I will not be able to go as a sailor. I do not know from whom to take my right. Hussein and I have been wronged. If the law is open-handed and can help, “In the name of God.” If not, we have become soldiers and left. I can not believe I have fallen into this day. It is very difficult to become a footballer in this country. Be both a footballer and a student; it’s very difficult. I still can not believe it. I hope someone helps. I expect the football community to help me.
