Halali: I will talk about Gol Mohammadi in 2 months/ What changes did the foreign coach make in Persepolis?

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars news agency, Esmail Halali said about the defeat of Persepolis against Sepahan: The game against Sepahan was affected by various issues, so that the dismissal of our player and the injury of several players made the situation difficult. We lost the most important game in the league, especially because we missed some good chances in the first half. With the dismissal of Pereira, we had to play more closed and we tried not to score. We gave Sepahan possession of the ball, but there was a lot of pressure on the team.

He added: On the other hand, I must point out that Sepahan did not have a good day, and even though they are a talented team, they were weak against us and we saw how slow they play in this game. They scored on us on accident. On the other hand, I feel we didn’t do well with the substitutions and the substitutes didn’t help the team much. We are 4 points behind the top of the table, but in football you have to hope until the last day. Persepolis can still return to the championship course.

The veteran of Persepolis club said about whether this team can win the league again or not: I am a football player and I have seen a lot of ups and downs in football. In football, anything is possible, but we must support the team. Even if we do not become heroes, the world will not end. Of course, when the season ends, I will talk about the weaknesses, but in the current situation, I don’t say a series of things because of friendship or professionalism.

Regarding the fact that the critics of Yahya Golmohammadi believe that the project of passing this coach has started, and whether you agree with such an issue or not, Halali noted: Now the situation of the league is in a critical situation and Yahya Golmohamadi is also the head coach of our team. Allow me to answer this issue in detail in two months. I apologize for not answering your question, but we will talk about it in two months at the end of the league. I have my own reasons and I believe that things should be done based on meritocracy, but at some point in time this did not happen in Persepolis and the meritocracy sat aside. We indulged in things that may have been the whims of a few, but I’ll certainly talk about that in two months.

He stated about how the future of Persepolis will be determined with the current conditions: Anyway, the injuries of the players have increased, and although the team is not involved in the Asian Champions League and has only played in the Premier League and the Knockout Cup, a number of players are out of the circuit. and only 14-15 players played, which put a lot of pressure on them. It would have been better to use more players so that there would be less pressure on the players and they would not get injured, but with what was done, we lost the players mentally and physically.

The veteran of the Persepolis club continued: The working conditions are difficult and if we talk, we will be the bad guys in the story. They bring a foreign coach and spend in euros, but we don’t see any signs of changes in Persepolis. We have so many capable internal coaches that can create good conditions. I am not only talking about Persepolis, but the situation in Iranian football is like this.

The former player of our country’s national team said about the selection of Amir Qalanewi as the head coach of the national team: he is the only one among the options who works in the league and has good respect for the players. Qalanoui has won many honors, but now there is talk of bringing him a foreign assistant. Are the problems of Persepolis solved by bringing in a foreign coach? We do not see any technical changes in the teams with the presence of a foreign coach. Is this the welfare brought by foreign coaches and they are only paid money? A foreign coach like Queiroz was only able to bring about changes in our football in the first three years, but in the rest of the years he fought and fought. I am not the kind of person to say something to welcome someone. Because I am not in anyone’s group, but in the last 5 years, our national team has been declining, and if Queiroz was the head coach of the national team, he would not even go to the World Cup. I hope that there is no debate between blue and red in the technical staff of the national team and that there will be people who will help our football.
