According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Bijan Taheri, head of the Esteghlal football team, said after the Premier League draw ceremony that this team was given a difficult draw and that they will have to face Sepahan in the first week. With all due respect, Esteghlal is a good and ready team. In any case, we should have played with Sepahan in the first or tenth week. Our lot is good.
“Many stadiums don’t have hosting conditions and doesn’t this situation destroy equal competition?”, he said in response to this question: Anyway, all the teams are trying to prepare their stadiums and I hope this happens.
The head of the Esteghlal football team said that the VAR has not yet arrived and there are refereeing problems: The Football Federation and the referees’ committee should plan in this regard, and I hope this will happen soon.
Taheri also said about the end of the Esteghlal camp in Turkey and the recruitment of a new player by the Blues: Our camp ends on Friday and it is not known whether we will get a new player or not.
He also said about the match between Esteghlal and Persepolis in the 22nd league: the derby is the 12th week and this match is played like all other games. All teams will be ready until the twelfth week.
