In an interview with the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Qassem Haddadifar said about Zob Ahn’s victory against Mes Kerman: We had a critical game ahead of us and after 9 weeks of results, we had to get three points in order to take the pressure off the players, the technical staff and the club. We scored a goal due to an opponent’s mistake, and of course we could have increased the number of goals in the second half, but it was important to get three points to get out of this critical situation to some extent. I hope that we will get good results in the game with Pikan and Nasaji and push ourselves to the top of the table.
“Do you agree that Zob Ahn did not get good results in the current season?”, he clarified in response to this question: I agree with you and for this issue, various reasons can be stated. The club did its best this year and a good team was equipped for the league, but Zob Ahn should have gotten better results with this record. I believe that the officials of the factory should support our team more so that Zob Ahn can return to its peak days and always be a contender in Iranian football.
The former player of the national team said about the mention of the names of some Iranian coaches to lead the national team: the action taken by the football federation was unprofessional, and I think the people of football and the people know everything very well. I hope the federation makes a final decision as soon as possible, because we are running out of time. Unfortunately, the national team has not been ranked in Asia for many years, and our main goal should be to win the Nations Cup and advance to the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
