In an interview with the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Reza Enayati said about Esteghlal’s 6-1 victory over Hawadar in the 26th week of the Premier League: The three teams fighting for the championship have made the competition attractive and each of them has a good chance to become the champion. The shape and style of the game of Esteghlal is extremely good. One of the tactical factors of any team is the psychological issue. The events that happened to Esteghlal in this short time gave extra energy to the technical staff and players and helped them for the success of their team. The players and technical staff of Esteghlal have social responsibility and play with their heart and soul for their team, and this has been the secret of their success.
He further added: “We should respect the teams of Sepahan and Persepolis, who are advancing step by step with Esteghlal.” In the final weeks, Esteghlal must work with high concentration and move forward with the same energy and motivation. I hope that every team that deserves it will win the league.
The former player of the Esteghlal football team, in response to the silence of Elhami and the supporters of Seyed Hossein Hosseini’s penalty, said: The interviews after the game showed that the technical staff and Esteghlal players were upset about this incident. I don’t see this as a professional job and I always said that the spirit of football is pure and gentle and we should all move forward in this direction. The players of Esteghlal and the technical staff of this team said that their move was not interesting and I think it was not very professional, and I give the right to Elhami and the fans. This does not diminish the values of the fan team.
Enayati clarified about the match between Esteghlal and Persepolis teams in the 27th week of the Premier League: In the past years, we did not have such a situation that both teams reached the derby in good conditions. Everyone expects a good game and I hope that the sensitivities of the game will not destroy the charm of the derby. I hope we will see a good derby apart from table sensitivities, because the players of both teams are at the top and everyone’s expectations are high.
He noted: As a fan of Esteghlal, I would like my team to win, but I am a professional coach and I have a different perspective. It is very important that the players stay focused because the derby is very important for the fans. I hope Esteghlal children have a good day, although Persepolis is a good team and has a good coach.
The former player of the Esteghlal football team said about the discussion with him to accept the leadership of the Omid football team: I heard in the media that the discussion of my presence in the Omid team was raised. The Omid team is a subgroup of the senior national team, and the first person to give a direct opinion is Amir Ghalenoui. Qalanewi’s sensitivities are high and he knows what to do. The difference between domestic and foreign coaches is that Ghalenoui and his technical staff monitor all league games and go to the stadiums. I hope that Omid’s task will be determined as soon as possible, so that after half a century it can reach the Olympics and the future of the national team can be changed. The senior team has a lot of international players, but it needs to be skinned for the next few years.
Hope team
