Majidi: If Arman’s goal is a mistake, I will not coach anymore / The Premier League coach is looking for the help of Esteghlal’s referee!

According to the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Farhad Majidi attended a press conference after the defeat against Nasajee in the National Cup competitions and said: Congratulations to the textile team. I apologize to the fans that we did not win tonight. The whole responsibility for failure lies with me. The players did their best and played a very good game. We ruled the field for 120 minutes and we had many opportunities.

He continued: “In penalty kicks, the conditions are always 50-50, and Nasajee was able to win.” I ask the referee committee to give us the list, because since last week we have done special exercises for 10-player, 9-player and even 8-player games.

The head coach of Esteghlal football team noted: “We no longer predicted that our player would score and the referee would reject it.” Now all the experts who work with the football federation say that the referee’s decision was right and the rest say that the referee made a mistake. The referee, who in the 80’s, when I was playing myself, had received a gift and made a game and was therefore banned, is now promoted and gives expert opinions on television. I do not know how he does that.

Majidi stated: Our goalkeeper has not fallen to the ground twice during the game. We should have used our opportunities that we did not, and I am responsible for the loss. If this goal is a mistake, I will not coach anymore. How did the referee mistake this scene? 2 minutes later a penalty; I will not make excuses, but listen again to what I said at the press conference last week and you journalists took a stand against me. They started again until they saw that Esteghlal was coming to life. First they made the team of 10 people and now they have rejected our healthy goal. However, I tell my students not to get tired, because they were great and we did not have a chance, and if we had a chance, we would have won in 90 minutes.

“It’s a waste of time for the weaker teams,” he said. What do the judges say to the jury? When a player throws himself on the ground once and the referee does not interrupt the game, that player no longer throws himself on the ground. Unfortunately, every player who throws himself on the ground, the referee stands above him for 5 minutes. We had to win during the game. The players did their best, but they started to see that Esteghlal has not lost for 24 weeks and is at the top of the table. I hear things I can’t believe. How much is this football worth? The coach of the Premier League is looking to help the referee Esteghlal! Let me talk, they say Majidi makes excuses. I do not make excuses, I am to blame for the loss. I apologize to the fans and I also thank my players, and God willing, we will compensate in the league.

Regarding Esteghlal’s young players and the lack of goals scored by his team in front of the spectators, Majidi said: “Our non-scoring has nothing to do with the presence of the spectators. Esteghlal youths were great today.” Saleh Hardani, Sobhan Khaghani, Amir Hossein Hosseinzadeh, etc. played great. We were unlucky and when we do not take advantage of opportunities, we are punished like today.
