Heydari: Nobody sells their team in Esteghlal/We died to win

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, Khosro Heydari said after Esteghlal’s win against Tractor in the elimination cup: Every match of Esteghlal is a final. All teams are motivated against us. We always tell the kids that you have to be 10 times more motivated to win the games. In this one week we worked on the weak points we had. Today we had at least 6-7 opportunities. We died to win.

The coach of Esteghlal said that during the warm-up, he told the players that we should surprise them today: They surprised us in the previous game. They put a heavy pressure on us in the first game. The tractor was pressing very well and we were hit by this. It is a good team and their coach is very good. They also have very good foreign players. That’s why I said to surprise them today. In the first half, we pressed very well and had good chances. We could have won the first half.

Regarding the fact that Esteghlal players were accused of not doing enough with a loss, he said: I respect all veterans and those who really worked hard, but we really don’t have anything like that in the team. Siavash Yazdani has been playing with pain for some time now. His hip is cracked. All these players got here with difficulty. They never do anything to sell their team. Today, I told the children that the technical staff believes in all of you. We really know you won’t miss it. You saw that we were united and we returned the lost game.

Heidari said about the sidelines of the game and the opponent’s objection to the penalties: The penalties were 100% clear. Today, both were penalty scenes. If they repeated, there was a lot of news once. Once, our player entered 18 yards.
