Mahdavikia: Is the priority something else now / Presence in Persepolis? I am not a person who quits my job part-time

According to Fars News Agency sports correspondent, Mehdi Mahdavikia told reporters before the trip to Iraq to play two friendly matches: “Considering that the club did not give the goalkeeper we were looking for to Omid, we replaced another goalkeeper because we wanted to play before the official matches.” Evaluate players in friendly matches.

* Now the priority is somewhere else and something else

Regarding the financial issues of the technical staff and how to prepare the team, he said: “These issues should remain.” God willing, we will talk about it later, but if we want to speak realistically, we are far behind our opponents in this regard. Now the priority is somewhere else and something else. We also participate in these competitions with all our might. Given that I and the technical staff have a special belief in these players, I hope to return with a full hand to the Asian Games. Although we are going to this tournament with a young team and we are two years younger than the other teams, but we are going to get good results, I hope for the future of this team.

* We are far behind our other competitors

The head coach of our country’s Omid football team said that there is a wave of sadness in your face and that the preparation of Omid team is apparently flawed: “It is not a big problem, but if we want to compete with the rivals we want to play with, we are far behind, but do our best.” We take it so that everything goes well with the talents we have and the ability of these players.

* Presence in Persepolis? I am committed and interested in Omid team

Mahdavikia, in response to a Fars reporter’s question that there were rumors about your possible presence in Persepolis and whether you had heard the rumors yourself, said: “No, I’m surprised.” Sometimes there are conversations that surprise me. I have commitment and interest in Omid team and I work with all my strength in this team. Last month was short and the deficits were high, but I have a lot of faith in these young people. I would like to succeed with this team. I am not a person to leave a team half because I have high hopes for this team. From the first day I started working, my goal was to do a great job. I hope the situation improves, but I mentioned in previous conversations that I hope we will return with a full hand.

* Hopes deserve to do great things

He added: “Our team is a young team and we are far behind in terms of facilities and preparation game, but I repeat again, these young people deserve to do great things and we are by their side with all our might.”

* I do not promise to win

The head coach of our country’s Omid football team, in response to whether he promises to succeed or not, said: “No coach can promise that his team will be a champion when he participates in a tournament.” I will go to this tournament with a team that is two years younger than the opponents. I have accepted all the consequences of this because I am looking to the future, God willing, to return with a full hand.

* Most Omid players have physical problems

“I am very hopeful and we will do our best to achieve good results,” Mahdavikia said of how much you hope to climb. We have some problems, most of our players do not play in the league and are not in good condition and have physical problems. We see these issues in the exercises and tests we have taken, but I have high hopes for them.

* Our agreement with Mansoorian and Majidi did not happen

In response to another question from a Fars reporter that Majidi and Mansoorian had promised to give their players to the team and did not talk to the coaches who did not cooperate, he said: “We did not expect much from anyone, we made an agreement and it did not happen.” We talked to them on the phone and wished them success because we are friends and classmates with almost everyone. There is no problem. Here is the national team. It is not a club that is tied to my hand, we will replace the people immediately and there is no problem. We talked on the phone today and it is not a problem, this is a national team and there is a lot of talent.

* After two meetings in Iraq, we will leave for Tashkent

The head coach of our country’s Omid football team said: “We have two games with the Iraqi Omid team on Tuesday and Friday, and after that we will leave for Tashkent to participate in the final matches of the Asian Under-23 Championship.”

“We have hired almost most of the players,” he said of the clubs’ cooperation with Omid. Masjed Soleyman Oil Club, which is trying to survive in the Premier League, we interacted with this club in order to provide their players to Omid after the matches.

* Other people replaced Esteghlal goalkeeper

Mahdavikia said about Esteghlal goalkeeper Alireza Rezaei, who did not come to Omid team: There was no particular problem. We had an agreement that was not implemented and other people were replaced. There was no particular problem.

Asked whether those who did not come lost their chances or not, he said: “We emphasized that our players should be present in these two friendly matches before the official matches.”
