According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, after a lot of tension regarding holding a friendly match between Persepolis and Melwan Bandar Anzali for Seyed Jalal Hosseini’s farewell game from football, Melwan Club refused to play this friendly match.
The Public Relations of Melvan Club announced by publishing an announcement: “Regarding the unprofessional and disrespectful notice of Tehran Persepolis Club on the club’s official page regarding the friendly match with Bandar Anzali Melwan Team, Melwan Club announces, while respecting the fans of Persepolis Club, out of respect for the fans In order to preserve the dignity of the sailor club, he withdraws from this friendly match.
This was the reaction of the sailors to the announcement that Persepolis Club published this evening, and part of this announcement stated: “Plannings are underway to play a proper farewell game in honor of Seyed Jalal Hosseini. Although Seyed Jalal Hosseini is so big that it would be better if his farewell game was played against a big foreign team, but due to the lack of time and the upcoming Premier League matches, this was not possible. The preparatory match against Melwan will be played on August 14 at Azadi Stadium, and the rumor of the cancellation of this match is not true.
It seems that this part of Persepolis club’s announcement, which mentions that it would be better to play Seyed Jalal Hosseini’s farewell match against a big foreign team, but due to the lack of time and the upcoming Premier League matches, this is not possible, has caused the Melvan club’s resentment. It is an incident that is not so unreasonable and every club will react in this way in order to maintain its dignity and position and its fans.
