Mizan News Agency – The 97th derby ended with all its pros and cons and went to the previous 96 derbies, but what was most noticeable and interesting in this derby was the passivity of the two teams and their coaches in this match was seemingly sensitive.
Contrary to the promises of the coaches Esteghlal And Persepolis The presentation of beautiful and spectator-friendly football was not only a sign of this, but even cowardice and excessive caution made the derby spectators not only not enjoy this sensitive match, but also the players’ performance is a kind of reminder of derbies of not so distant years that are fruitless. And it ended with the least excitement.
Majidi had said before the match: The derby is sensitive for both teams; A point is neither good for us nor for Persepolis and both teams play for 3 points. My team is the best team in the league and I have smart players who meet expectations. Persepolis also has a good team and a good staff.
Persepolis coach Hamid Motahari also said before the match: “The derby has its own conditions and this match is for the fans.” For them, the three points of this game are very important and even this game can determine the champion. I do not want to make the issue too sensitive, but three points are important. The most important thing for us is to present respectable and spectator-friendly football.
But the interesting point at the end of this match was the conversations of the coaches of the two teams, in a way that not only did not have a word to say from the technical point of view, but by shifting all their technical problems and weaknesses to refereeing, they shied away from their teams. Golmohammadi and Majidi diverted public opinion without talking a bit about the technical issues of the derby and the performance of themselves and their players, relying on refereeing mistakes so that their weaknesses would not be seen in the meantime. Both coaches somehow with Code name for refereeing errors They hid their technical and tactical weaknesses so that no one would notice the mistakes and even the fear of their teams during the game.
Golmohammadi said after the derby: “We saw a live game and most of the game was in the hands of Persepolis.” We had good opportunities and we could have won independence. In a few scenes, things happened that the referee changed the course of the game to the opponent. In one scene, he had to show the card to the eye, but on the contrary, he showed me and Alisha a yellow card, which changed the course of the game.
* Overall it was a tough game to judge the referee. The referees were well chosen, but these few scenes removed the pressure from the opponent. Overall, the game was good and our players controlled the rhythm of the match and we were able to create good opportunities, but unfortunately, 2-3 good opportunities were not used.
Farhad Majidi also said: I have nothing else to say except the scene of the 87th minute of the game. If tomorrow your veterans and the domestic media do not say run forward, our penalty will not be seen. They did not take our two penalties in the previous game, nor did they take a penalty in this game. Tell me if they have a problem with me. I do not know how the referee did not take this penalty in two steps? I saw that scene from 60 meters away. How did you not see the referee?
* You say that scene was offside, but I was on the line myself, but because the television took that scene from above, you think it was offside. If I speak, they say he ran away. The judges have taken 6 points from Esteghlal. Now we have to be at the top of the table with 20 points. Bring your mother VAR to Iranian football. How can a team’s right be eaten so easily? If you have a question about the 87th minute, I’m at your service.
How much the refereeing mistakes have affected the derby and which team has benefited and which ones will be affected by the refereeing experts, but it may be better for Majidi and Golmohammadi to answer a few questions about their performance in the derby.
Undoubtedly, excessive caution and, in slang terms, cowardice between the two teams was one of the main causes of yesterday’s poor derby.
Esteghlal is going through one of its worst seasons in the offensive line, so that in the last 5 matches, it has only managed to score 2 goals, which shows that Majidi’s team has not succeeded in creating opportunities and scoring goals, although it has had an extraordinary performance in defense.
* Useless substitutions for homework
If we look at the substitutions of the two teams, it is clear that neither the coaches of Esteghlal and Persepolis were willing to present an offensive performance. Golmohammadi, contrary to his team’s potential to use two top strikers, but always in critical matches, especially in derbies, he sends his team to the field with more caution than usual with a single striker. Golmohammadi even had the opportunity to attend Mehdi Abdi, The star of these days gave Persepolis only in the last minutes of the match and did not even want to play with two strikers in these minutes and replaced Abdi with Al-Akhsir to show that Persepolis does not want to play in attack.
Of course, Majidi’s substitutions, although he made 3 substitutions in front of a Persepolis substitution, but the arrival Arsalan Motahari In the 89th minute on the pitch, it can not be desirable for the team that claims to be the league champion.
* Contenders for a beautiful and championship without a goal and shot position in the frame
The two teams did not even have a single shot in the derby yesterday to make it difficult for the goalkeepers. How can coaches who claim to be champions in the league and even in Asia and their team is unable to even create a goal opportunity during the 90 minutes, claim to be beautiful and attacking football ?!
However, the low accuracy of Esteghlal and Persepolis passes, along with the rare scoring opportunities in the derby, showed that the two teams were too cautious and timid to play. It is better for Majidi and Golmohammadi to focus on the technical and tactical issues of their teams, instead of placing Sibel as the intellectual referees, so that the fans will not have to watch the derby and will eventually regret the time they have left for this match.
