Mansoorian: I was not happy after winning the sixth team in the world. We should not look at the Asian table and quota.

According to the Fars news agency from Khuzestan, Alireza Mansoorian stated in a press conference after the victory of Naft Abadan against Traktor: “In these conditions, we had an unexpected and rainy weather and a good day.” By the grace of God and the efforts of the children, on a day when we did not have nearly 10 players, our young and experienced players proved that our team structure can still move forward. From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate all the residents who can not be in the stadium because of Corona and Omicron, as well as my players and their families. This is the victory of their lives. We are still following the slogan “one person for all and all for Abadan”.

He continued: “I hope we can go through the same process.” The game was very hard and strange. In the first half, the two teams tried to evaluate each other. We tried to master the game and created opportunities. Late in the first half and two more scenes we could have scored. We played on Plan A in the second half and we tried very hard to score. We had to score on 3-4 scenes.

The head coach of Naft Abadan football team added: ‌ Due to Talib Rikani’s injury, bringing him into the field was a great risk, but I also told myself that you will go inside the field and, God willing, with an RPG kick, you will take 7 oil industries out of the field victorious. It would be a pity if we did not win this match because we worked so hard. We played football in all parts of the field according to the principles. I tell the tractor team not to get tired and I hope that both teams will finish this long road ahead with pride.

Mansoorian explained about his strange happiness after the oil industry’s goal: “When I was the head coach of the national team in the game against Russia and we were able to defeat the 4th or 6th FIFA ranking team with a goal by Mohammad Reza Khalatbari in the 90th minute, I was not happy at all.” In many more important games than today, I was not happy after my team’s goal was won, but I was happy for two wonderful games. The first was to meet Padideh, in which the great Sherwin scored in the 96th minute with an incredibly beautiful pair of scissors, and the other was today. I told Talib, “Insha’Allah, when you hit the left foot on the ground, he hit it with his left foot, but Akhbari closed the corner. However, the ball hit Abbaszadeh in the head and he scored.” I was very happy with Talib Talib.

He added: “We are happy for different reasons.” I had very good days on the tractor, but unfortunately with a strange decision one day when I got off the plane, I saw that I was no longer the head coach of this team. Traktor, like the Abadan oil industry, has warm-hearted and hospitable fans. When you join such teams, you try to make your dreams come true. In general, Talib Talib made me very happy. I looked for a moment and saw that I was at the bottom of the earth. I do not know Yazleh, but I just threw myself up and jumped down. I became very happy.

The head coach of Naft Abadan football team continued: I also thank the officials of Takhti Abadan pitch who provided a really good pitch for us. Despite the rain, no place was scored on this field and we played football on the field and mentally. God willing, our training ground will be as good as the competition field. We lost Mohammad Ahl-e-Shakha for one to two weeks due to a hole in the training ground. I was happy to see such a field in Takhti Stadium.

Regarding his team’s chances of winning the Asian quota, Mansoorian said: “We told the children not to think about the Asian quota and the tournament schedule.” Yesterday I said we have 14 games. One of those meetings ended today. We have 13 more knockout games ahead. We have 13 more knockout finals and a quarter-final lead. If we lose any of these games, we may be far from our goal. The oil industry has become very teamed in terms of emotional relationships. It does not matter who plays when he comes to our locker room. All players must put all their energy and put Abadan Oil on the ground in the best possible way.

He added: Abadan’s dignity and personality are very high. I told my friends that Abadan may not have gotten it right in recent years, but if the financial resources of big teams are available for one to two years, the oil industry will become one of the poles of Iranian football because it has the main treasure of Iranian football, talented players. We do not look at the table and think about the upcoming matches game by game. For the technical staff and the oil industry, after 12 o’clock tonight, the meeting with Traktor will end and we will all focus on the Fajr team.

The head coach of Naft Abadan football team added: “Our analysis will start tomorrow.” The children also have 24 hours to be happy with the victory against Traktor, but this victory went down in history. We put all our intelligence and senses to meet Fajr. Thanks to the technical team, logistics, massage, medicine and management, who at least became very sympathetic to us. God willing, we will be able to succeed in the game with the tough team of Ali Asghar Kalantari.

Mansoorian explained about reaching an agreement with Traktor Club: We told Hassan Kamrani, Far and Jamshid Noorsharq that we will not be satisfied with Traktor under any circumstances until we get our full money, but because my circle of friends is very large, dear from the collection The tractor, Mansour Rastegar, called me. He is a very good friend of mine and we live in a place in Tehran. When he told me about the situation of the Traktor fans and compared them with the Abadan fans, I told Mohammad Khormgah, Ali Mohajer and Ali Dehghan that we would do what Rastegar wants, as our fan wants all his players to come to the pitch.

He added: “That is why we decided to play against Traktor with equal power.” The Tractor Club poured 60% of my technical staff money and gave a check for the remaining 40% in April or May. I completely trust Rastegar because he is my good friend. Of course, I would also like to say that today was one of the best days of Mohammad Reza Akhbari. Although he received a goal from us with the ball that hit Mohammad Abbaszadeh, but he really took 4-5 chances. He showed us that if it were not for Traktor’s goal, we would have achieved a much better result. Congratulations to Akhbari and the Traktor team for having such a goal.
