According to the Mehr reporter, Mehdi Mehdipour said after Esteghlal’s 1-0 victory over the fans: “The victory we achieved prepared us mentally and emotionally for the match in the second week.” Given that we have just finished the bodybuilding era, the players are not in ideal condition yet, but surely the team will get better as time goes by and you will see more beautiful games than Esteghlal.
Regarding the managerial changes that have taken place in Esteghlal and that the conditions of the team have improved, he said: “We are definitely satisfied with him, considering that we see that the new CEO is working hard to improve the conditions of the team.” Sardar Ajurlu did his best so that Esteghlal could have more peace of mind and focus on victory over opponents.
The midfielder of Esteghlal Tehran team said about the penalty taken for Esteghlal: “The referee’s performance was good and the penalty was correct, but I do not know why the first penalty that turned into a goal was not accepted.”
In response to the question that the fans of Esteghlal are expecting a championship this season, Mehdipour said: “It is still the first week and it is too early to talk about a championship.” The fans must be patient, support their team so that, God willing, we can achieve better results in the future.
Esteghlal midfielder noted in the end: we must prepare for the match against Zobahan. We will have a difficult game ahead of us and we must forget this victory and put all our focus on the next game so that we can end that match with a victory.
