Hossein Farzami, in a conversation with Mehr reporter, regarding Esteghlal’s 1-0 victory against Mes Kerman at Azadi Stadium, said: Just like the last two matches, Esteghlal could not satisfy football fans for 90 minutes. Sapinto has not yet found his starting line-up and has to make some changes in his team’s composition in the second half.
He added: It is strange that after three weeks of the league and a lot of training with Esteghlal, the head coach of this team has not yet achieved his ideal composition, and we are witnessing that Esteghlal does not play well in the first half and in the second half He will win with the changes he makes. Therefore, it is necessary for him to get the ideal composition with the good knowledge he has gained from his players during this time to put it against his opponents.
The former member of the board of directors of Esteghlal club noted: In the first half, Esteghlal could not make a dangerous attack on Mes’ goal. Of course, Messi had analyzed Esteghlal well and closed the penetration ways and did not allow Esteghlal to score with a defensive game. But in the second half, the same process continued. A few changes were made in Esteghlal and with the presence of the spectators and their support, Esteghlal increased the pressure on Mes’s goal and finally managed to use an empty space in the defense line and score a goal.
Farzami clarified: There were no great players in Mes team. Everyone was young, athletic and hard-working, showing that this team could do better in the league with some more experienced players. Maybe if the players of this team were more experienced, they could get a point from Esteghlal.
The former member of Esteghlal Club’s board of directors emphasized about the meeting between Blue and White Blues against Naft Suleiman on Tuesday: Naft has not performed well in the last three weeks, but this is not a reason for Esteghlal to think that it is already a winner. Playing in Khuzestan is always difficult. Maybe Naft wants to change its ways with the defeat of Esteghlal to improve the situation for itself. Therefore, Sapinto and his players should not consider this team as a weak team and think that they will easily defeat Naft. I hope that by the day of the match against Naft, Sapinto will put a better combination on the field against Naft so that he can get another win without worry and stress.
In the end, regarding the presence of women in Esteghlal’s match against Mes Kerman, he said: I am happy that women also came to the stadium. They watched the match of their favorite team closely and there was no special problem and the cooperation of the people with the police force made us witness a good and calm atmosphere in the stadium and we hope that in the coming weeks our women will be able to play without any worries and problems around the world. The country came to the stadium and cheered their favorite teams.
