According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Mohammad Mohammadi said on the sidelines of the friendly match of Persepolis team against Omid team: “Thank God, the team’s conditions are very good and everything is according to plan.” God willing, we will attract the last player who is considered by the technical staff and striker and enter the tournament with a complete team.
He clarified that the main demand of the fans in recent days is to recruit a foreign attacker: We are doing our best, but they are causing some trouble. Allow Mr. Darvish to explain everything. We meet all the player’s demands and we agree to whatever he wants and whatever amount he wants and everything goes well, but in the 90th minute he sends an email and says they told me not to go to Iran!
In response to the question of whether he means Cassiano, the Sports Vice President of Persepolis Club said: No! That player I interviewed last week was really done. There was practically no problem with the amount and other things, but unfortunately, I don’t know why they told him not to go to Iran in the 90th minute and everything was canceled.
In response to a question about the relationship between Yahya Golmohammadi and Darvish, the sports vice president of Persepolis club explained: I don’t know what you are talking about! We don’t pay much attention to the rumors and continue our work in the club with strength. I just ask that those who criticize have some fairness and see how the team’s performance in transfers has been in the last two or three years and how it is this year. We will accept what is right and now we will do our best to fulfill the wishes of the fans, but friends should also be fair.
Regarding the fact that the Persepolis team still does not have a striker two weeks before the start of the Premier League, Mohammadi said: God willing, we will mention the details of what happened to Cassiano. The fan has the right to criticize, but we also try our best and some places are beyond our control. The player does not want to come to Iran, what should I and the club do?!
Regarding the recruitment of Sina Esdbighi and Zob Ahn club’s objection to this incident, he said: The legal department of our club is following up on this issue. Since I was sick for a week, I saw his letter today and my friends in the legal department are following up. Legal friends definitely don’t do anything without inquiry. If there was a problem, I don’t know and the legal department should comment.
“You have experience working in the Omid team and how do you see the conditions of this team, some clubs have not yet provided their players to the Omid team.”, the sports vice president of the Persepolis club said in response to this question: “I can only say I’m sorry!” The situation was not good and now it has become worse. As Mahdavikia’s friend, I say that we should appreciate our legends and it’s a shame. We should not make them get tired and leave.
Mohammadi said: “No, there was no question of withdrawal and I had no discussion with Mahdavikia about this.”
In the end, in response to the question of whether the striker will definitely be added to the Persepolis team, the sports vice president of Persepolis emphasized: “The striker will definitely be added.”
