According to Tasnim news agency and quoted by Tractor Club’s official media, Pako Khums said in a press conference after his team’s 1-0 win against Esteghlal Khuzestan: As I predicted, we had a tough opponent and the field conditions were not suitable for our type of game. Because the grass was long and dry and the ball moved slowly.
He further added: “My players did not give up and tried until the last moment, and finally we were able to get a valuable result.” Although the weather conditions made our work more difficult.
In response to a question about the change in Tractor’s style of play compared to last season, Khums stated: I don’t think our style of play has changed much compared to last season. In the previous season, we sent Reza Asadi for reprimanding. The cross is part of the game.
He also mentioned about the departure of Saeed Aghaei from the Tractor team: it was the club’s decision and I cannot talk about it.
