Haddadifar: I am proud to be from a golden generation / I left Zobahan to be a more comfortable coach

In an interview with Fars News Agency sports reporter, Qasem Mohdadifar, about the anniversary of Zobahan runner-up in the Asian Champions League and whether they could have won the championship, said: “I am proud to have played in a golden generation and was one of the captains of that team.” . We were an extraordinary generation. We had good support from the factory and management, and we had good results for several years. In the last step, we slipped a little. Maybe we could have easily become heroes, but that did not happen and we missed it.

He added: “If we worked a little more focused and knew the skills of football, we could have won more easily than previous games such as Al-Hilal and Puang, so that it would be a good memory and honor for us.” I personally love those moments and days and I have always been proud of them.

It was hard for the people of Isfahan to imagine victory against Sepahan

Haddadifar said about the current situation of Zobahan: “After that final, we had three or four extraordinary years.” Then we had a lot of ups and downs. The peak of our descent was two years ago when we really felt the danger of falling. Nothing was on its own and we had a lot of problems, but thankfully the team stayed in the league. This year, the situation has improved and the team has been better formed, God willing, the officials, players, coaches and people of Isfahan will join hands so that Zobahan returns to its good days with Sepahan and is one of the poles of Iranian football.

The former captain of Zobahan said about the quality trend of this team after the last 4 games of the new season: “I think Zobahan has really different conditions than last season.” We have a relatively good team but there is still work to be done. It has improved a lot in terms of defense structure and also in terms of offensive discussion. We very much hope that he will gradually get the good conditions of the past.

Asked if he expected to win the derby against Sepahan, he said: “Sepahan is a really great team.” In the last two years, they have presented very good football and a new level, and they have a proprietary game. It was hard for the people of Isfahan to imagine winning Zobahan. However, the Isfahan derby has always been attractive and two teams come to play football. Our team endured the first half. Due to the penalty that Habib Farabasi also took, the team stayed in the game. In the second half, we scored at a good opportunity and finally they were able to maintain the result. The result was very good and gave the team good confidence. I hope this trend will continue in the future.

I understand the meaning of the words well

Haddadifar said about the issue of leaving the team and whether it was not possible to continue cooperation: “Maybe Mehdi Tartar and I did not know each other well enough.” I fought and fought for a lifetime. I had the most serious injuries but I came back. I think I had good conditions in return. I always took my place on the ground. The discussion is not about sitting up. Every player can get his right on the field and the coach has a duty to play him.

He added: “In these few years, I always played and I was in good condition. In the last few years, if I am older, but the statistics show that I have been in good physical condition. At the beginning of the season, I was attracted by Mehdi Tartar himself. Last year I decided to say goodbye to football at the end of the season. Something happened and I was injured. I was not serious about playing, but due to the conversations between the management and the club, to say goodbye on the football field, I signed a contract with the direct opinion of the head coach. I trained with the team as a captain. I was in good condition and things were going very well.

“No, I have been in this football so much that I understand the meaning of what is being said,” said Haddadifar, referring to the fact that Tartar may have spoken in training to encourage and motivate him more. I talked for a few minutes as we talked. As I said, he did not know me well enough. The captains and elders of his previous teams also said that he gave them a series of other responsibilities, but I said; I’re just a player on the pitch and I can’t do anything else. I can only help on the ground.

I decided not to be in the team so that Tartar would be more comfortable

The former captain of Zobahan stated: “Other conversations were exchanged between us.” Finally, I decided not to be in the team so that the situation would be easier for Tartar. After this incident, there was no more talk and I finally decided to say goodbye. I did not insist. They told me to say goodbye on the football field, but this did not happen. Sometimes you do not get what you want. Everyone in Isfahan would like these two teams to be proud and for Zobahan to return to its good condition. Now with me and without me.

He added: “I have been in the team so far and now maybe my absence can help the team. I wish them success. I do not have the conditions to be with the club, but I am always an iron smelter and a supporter of this team. I am by their side as a fan.

Haddadifar said about the demands and financial discussion with Zobahan Club: I never had a financial discussion with Zobahan Club. I voluntarily reduced my contract when I was injured. I signed a contract this year too, but I have no expectations. I’m not talking about financial matters. I have to thank the factory and Mr. Yazdizadeh and Mr. Yazdkhasti. The industrial people of the factory love me very much and they embarrassed me more than the athletes. God willing, I can respond to their love.

The farewell game had a dramatic effect

Regarding the rejection of the offer to say goodbye to Sepahan, he said: “I think this game was not as it should have been for me and had a dramatic effect.” I did not like this very much. They said to be with the spectator, but I do not see the need for this at all. I do not want this to happen. I want the people, the fans and the officials to respect the decision. There is a lot of time and I hope I can help the team in other strongholds. At the moment I do not think I can get in touch with the club but I wish them success.

Haddadifar said about whether it is possible to think about coaching like Mehdi Rajabzadeh, another popular captain of Zobahan, who got good results in League One with Qashqai team: Mehdi Rajabzadeh was one of the best players of Zobahan. It was an honor to play with him. It still works very well and is a happy place. I went through a difficult month or two and did not make a specific decision. God willing, I can make a good decision for my future.

He added: “We footballers can not stay away from football. It is very difficult for us. Given the moral qualities I see in myself and the framework I have for myself, my situation is very difficult, but I hope I can do it. Although I am not willing to do anything at any cost. Special thanks to the fans of Zobahan and Sepahan and the good people of Isfahan. Thank you very much and I can not thank you. I was very embarrassed during this time. The good people of my country always remembered me well. God willing, I will be worthy and I will be able to move in a good direction.
