According to the Mehr reporter, the football teams of Persepolis and Esteghlal will play against each other from 17:30 tomorrow, Thursday, within the framework of the 23rd week of the Premier Football League.
Unlike Yahya Golmohammadi, who was answering reporters’ questions at Shahid Kazemi Stadium, Esteghlal head coach Farhad Majidi held a press conference before the match at 3 pm today, Wednesday, at the league organization.
“The derby always has its own sensitivity,” Majidi said at the beginning of his press conference. We will play with a very good team tomorrow. Apart from the derby, Persepolis is a team that has had a good trend for several years. The most important factor of this team has been stability and its players have been playing together for years. I hope it will be a good game and the fans of both teams will see an interesting game. My prediction is that the two teams will play well.
A reporter asked Esteghlal’s head coach about the performance of Esteghlal’s foreign players. Majidi said: “The players who come to Iran introduce the agents and show a 20-minute film, but I did not do that.” We may not believe that we wanted Kevin Yamga, we watched him for at least 4 ninety-minute games. I brought Silva because he was in good shape. His last game was a month ago. The positive thing about all the players is that they mention Esteghlal as a great team. Silva had seen Esteghlal’s resume and said he was happy to join the big Asian team.
Regarding the selection of Seyed Ali as the referee of the match, Majidi clarified: I had not commented. I wish him success. I hope he has a good judgment.
