Fathollahzadeh: They negligently removed the Magpies / They lied Soltanifar went to the AFC headquarters for independence

Ali Fathollahzadeh, in an interview with a sports reporter of Fars News Agency regarding the elimination of Esteghlal and Persepolis from the Asian Champions League, said: “It is really a pity for this to happen.” I do not know if there is still a chance or not, but yesterday I said in an interview that even if the remaining one percent chance, Mr. Ajurlu and Mr. Sadri should go to the AFC headquarters.

He added: “I was surprised by the AFC decision, the two teams have been left out of the competition with all this support, but the important thing is that no one pays attention to this issue inside the country.” Esteghlal and Persepolis together have 70-80 million fans, and ignoring this interest is a kind of people’s right.

The former CEO of Esteghlal, pointing out that in a country like China, the government also helps clubs, but these aids are indirect, said: “For several years now, the government has not provided financial assistance to Esteghlal and Persepolis, but the problems in our country are more The eyes are coming. In which country do you know that clubs are not sponsored by their governments? We are nominally state-owned in Iran, but one rial does not help two clubs. These are issues that the AFC has become sensitive to.

Fathollahzadeh said that there is no hope for the two teams to return to the tournament because the Asian Football Confederation has also announced a new schedule for the tournament: “We should not lose hope until the last moment, but it is not a ploy to do so.” A few years ago, the assembly of the two clubs should have been separated, but it was neglected.

Regarding the role of the previous government and also Massoud Soltanifar in the recent events, he said: “You should look for the role of the previous minister in Maziar Nazemi’s remarks.” He said that Soltanifar went to Malaysia to solve the problem of independence so that this team would not be eliminated, but how can such a great lie be told? These remarks showed that the gentlemen did not go to Malaysia at all because this issue did not require a trip to Malaysia. They just had to change the assemblies of the two clubs. In the previous ministry, 5 CEOs changed in the same independence, do you think this issue was not a problem?

The former CEO of Esteghlal pointed out: Some debts were $ 200,000, but they did not pay enough, which caused a problem. Unfortunately, the legal issues that the AFC was considering were not observed in Iran at all. I wonder why the managers of Esteghlal were not questioned? Thousands of billions of dollars have been injected into Esteghlal in the last few years, but it was not clear where this money was spent. How did I respond to thousands of people for smaller amounts? But this is not happening now?

Fathollahzadeh continued: “In our time, there were some objections to the presence of Esteghlal in Asia, but I myself went to visit Bin Hammam. If you remember, an American company filed a complaint against us, and 10 days before the deadline, I left for Zurich.” I solved the problem. Do not doubt that there must have been negligence.

“This is not possible,” he said of the two teams being privatized. Nothing will happen unless the two clubs owe their debts.
