According to Tasnim news agency from Isfahan, Yahya Golmohammadi stated in a press conference before his team’s match against Zobahan: I have very good memories of Isfahan and Isfahani fans and I am very happy to be here. The FA Cup is a cup where we have to focus very well in ninety minutes and we have no right to make any mistakes and we should not make effective mistakes in these games. Zobahan is a young running team and it is a team that has good tactics in defense and attack, but I do not know what the ground conditions are like and as I saw on TV, it does not have some good conditions and I hope the ground conditions are good for tomorrow. Our goal is to climb from this stage, and Zobahan will appear in front of us with a lot of motivation, and I hope we will play a good game with the climb.
In response to the question that he has also thought about penalties and has a plan for this issue? He said: “There are definitely these events in the FA Cup. We also tried to practice penalty kicks. Of course, the intensity of the matches is also very high. We and Zobahan had a game 3-4 days before the game. They will not have. Tomorrow’s game can be a tactical game and substitutes entering the field can be effective.
The head coach of the Persepolis football team, in response to Tasnim’s question about the condition of Shojaei and the other injured players of this team for the game against Zobahan? He stated: We have 5-6 injured and their number is so much that maybe my mind will not help. The situation of our two Tajik players is also unknown. I hope we will get an answer from the club or the federation tomorrow to see if we can use our Tajik players.
Regarding the situation of Zobahan and Tartar, Golmohammadi said: “I know Mehdi Tartar well enough, he is a hard-working coach with ideas and his team has tactics.” He has been influential in every team he has been to. Given the changes that have taken place in this chapter, he needs time to demonstrate his tactical ideas on steel. Zobahan is a well-established team and has won many honors in football, and the combination of both can shape a good future for Isfahan football.
