Mehri: I was in the main team from the beginning/ we should have focused more on the Persepolis station

According to Fars news agency, Saeed Mehri said after the match between Esteghlal and Persepolis and the draw in Derby 99: As you saw, we played a very good game, but it was a pity. We didn’t focus enough on 2 free kicks and we conceded a goal.

He continued: “We have to have enough concentration in free kicks, which we didn’t have.” Of course, in my opinion, in some scenes, the referee could have decided to continue the match, but he didn’t. The speed of the game was very fast in this match and the game fell asleep.

Mehri stated: From the 70th minute onward, the game fell asleep and more stations were taken in favor of Persepolis, but we should have been more focused.

The Esteghlal player said about replacing him instead of Mehdipour: “They told us our lineup in the hotel and it was nothing like that at all.” I was in the mix from the beginning. We were told 2 hours before the game and I knew I was on the field.
