Yadullah Akbari, in an interview with Mehr reporter, evaluated the conditions of the blue-footed players to participate in the Premier League competitions and said: Esteghlal spent the most difficult days and reached the top of the table with the empathy that arose in the Esteghlal team. Sadri that Persepolis and Sepahan are trying to achieve.
This Iranian football veteran continued: However, hidden agents seek to take peace from independence. Maybe they didn’t expect such results and this has angered them.
In response to the question that Mouradmand’s absence has caused inconsistency in Esteghlal’s defense line, he said: There is no doubt that Muradmand’s absence has had an impact because the technical staff must make changes in the defense line, Muradmand is both an alert defender, a goal scorer, and a leader. He is also in charge of the defense line and we wish him to recover as soon as possible and return to the defense of Esteghlal.
The former Blue Poshan midfielder continued: Of course, Esteghlal had good defenders to replace Muradmand, who have performed their duties well in defense in the absence of this player. Knowing Nekonam, I believe that he does not rely on anyone and plays well with what he has.
Akbari continued: Of course, this team needs to be strengthened for half a season and must recruit some capable and good players. The managers of Esteghlal must meet the demands of Nekonam in the half-season transfers so that Esteghlal can start the league with more strength in the second half of the season.
Regarding the 12th match of Esteghlal against Foolad of Khuzestan, which will be held in Ahvaz, Akbari said: Nekonam has worked for Foolad for several years and he knows that it will be a difficult game. His familiarity with Foolad can have an impact on the result. Steelers are not in a good position in the table and they need to win this match to be separated from the bottom of the table.
Yadullah Akbari continued: They have nothing to lose and they will play against Esteghlal in a suicidal way. Esteghlal players should be alert and not be deceived by the position of Foolad and not consider themselves to be the winner and play with all their strength so that they can win this match. strengthen their position in the table.
In the end, he pointed out: Esteghlal will have two tough games against Foulad and Persepolis, the fans should support the team. Esteghlal started a difficult season, but the unity of the team and the fans made this team successful. So Esteghlal fans should support the team more these days so that this team can leave the field victorious in the next two matches.
