In an interview with the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Sattar Hamdani said about the derby of the twelfth week of the Premier Football League and the conditions of the Esteghlal team: “I don’t hear good news from Esteghlal.” There are a number of problems that, if no thought is given to them, will affect independence. I don’t know what is behind these problems and events, but the team needs to focus on the eve of the derby. If they do not remove these fringes and problems from Esteghlal, it will lag behind the championship course.
Regarding the performance of Iran’s national football team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he clarified: “The fact that Dragan Skocic was left out and stopped cooperating is debatable, but we should have brought someone who has full respect for Iran’s football and his charismatic personality in the gatherings.” international team to help the national team, that’s why a good decision was made at that time. The selection of Carlos Queiroz could be evaluated positively, but the quality of the national team’s games was debatable.
The former midfielder of our country’s national football team pointed out: Before the game against England, there were some incidents that had an impact and we conceded six goals. Unlike the game against England where we were not focused, we were good in the game against Wales and could have scored more than two goals against the opponent. We didn’t have the necessary quality in the match against America, but we didn’t deserve to lose and we could have won a draw and advanced to the next stage. Considering that we were the oldest team in the World Cup, we need to be rejuvenated in order to look ahead to the next season.
The veteran of our country’s football said whether he agrees with the continuation of the cooperation of the Football Federation with Kiirosh or not: “More than the discussion of Kiirosh, our football needs honest managers who have a plan.” Different teams around the world change based on their goals, but our decisions changed very quickly. Therefore, we need program-oriented managers more than head coaches, even if it is necessary to bring managers from abroad.
