According to Mehr reporter, Ricardo Sapinto said on Tuesday night after his team’s 0-0 draw against Naft Masjid Suleiman in the press conference at the end of the game: It was a difficult game, but the difficult problem was playing in 40 degree temperature. In the first half, we could not create a chance until the first 15 minutes, and the opponent worked well until the first 30 minutes, but in the last 15 minutes of the game, we played well and created a chance. We had a good start in the second half and you created some chances
He added: We did not finish well and I hope we will improve this issue. This was not our desired result and we wanted the three game points. The opposing team had good players and gave a good performance. Although we had a good opponent, the temperature of the game created difficult conditions for us
The head coach of Esteghlal Tehran football team said: Last year, Esteghlal only defended and used single positions, but Esteghlal is now playing and we need time to achieve the desired quality. I am satisfied with the performance of my players, but we did not score a goal. We have impressive strikers and we had a lot of chances. We are on the right track and we have room to improve and we will continue this issue
Sapinto stated: We had the best chances and we did not underestimate the opponent, but the opponent’s chances were not more than ours. We had the best chances in this game. There was a good atmosphere in the stadium and it was a good game for the teams. Congratulations… M. Red.
