In an interview with Tasnim news agency’s sports reporter, Vahid Kalhor said about the strange conditions of the Saveh Golden Cluster football team for the match last night (Monday): When we went from the hotel to the stadium, some of the team members felt nauseous, which we said might be because of the weather. In the dressing room, the condition of 12 players became very bad and we had a player who vomited 10 times! We were afraid of this situation and the people who were in a bad mood were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
We wished that the game would not be held
Stating that there were only 9 players left for the Golden Cluster, he noted: We requested and begged the representative of the federation not to hold the match. He contacted league officials, who said the game would only be postponed if the team had fewer than seven players. It was announced that if we don’t play, the game will be 3-0 in favor of the opponent, so we entered the field with 10 players.
Dealing with children’s zeal; A player cut my serum and went to the ground!
The head coach of Koshe Talai clarified about the return of the players who were in the hospital: He was struck by the zeal of some players in the hospital, and one of them, when he saw that we were playing with 10 players, came from the hospital in the 40th minute and played! To play, he took off my head and just walked on the field! I told my players in the hospital, whoever feels better, come and play! Another player came to the stadium in the 80th minute when we were able to replace one player. He also walked on the ground.
The prosecutor of Masjid Suleiman is investigating the issue
Keller said about the reason for the poisoning of the Golden Cluster team members: Two members of the technical staff also suffered from this problem. The hospital officials wanted to test the players and the doctors’ initial diagnosis was severe poisoning. However, we had a flight at 12 last night (Sunday) and we had to go to the airport immediately after the game. Maybe the poisoning was caused by coffee, mineral water or pasta. The public prosecutor of Masjid Suleiman has entered into this incident and is going to investigate the issue.
Some players hit me twice
Stating that the gold-clad men of Saveh missed their flight, he noted: We didn’t catch last night’s flight and we are still in Andimeshk. The players are not in ideal condition now and the hotel officials told us to inform the doctor if we feel bad again. One or two members of the team have heartache, which is not as severe as last day. Some individual players hit me twice and are on their feet with ampoules and pills!
The owner of the club can no longer pay for the team
The head coach of Saveh Golden Cluster told Tasnim about the sidelines of this club during the first four weeks of the first division football league: Hossein Parvizi (the owner of the club) is active in the private sector and spends 500 million tomans per month for the team. He has spent eight years from his own pocket for the club and this year he can no longer do such a thing.
Central Province Football Board opposed the transfer of the team to Ardabil
Kalhor said about the unsuccessful transfer of the Golden Cluster team to Ardabil: We were supposed to host in Ardabil in the second week, but they said that the stadium of this city did not have enough light. Then we were transferred to Imam Khomeini Stadium in Arak, where the game was postponed due to the lack of sufficient light! Unfortunately, the Central Province football board opposed the transfer of the team to Ardabil, and we are now in Tehran, even though we had trained in this city for a month.
