Persepolis manager’s reaction to the absence of spectators in the derby / Followers: Our players keep calm

According to Fars News Agency, Afshin Pirvani said about the 97th derby match: “All games are important and sensitive, but the derby is much more sensitive for the Persepolis team and the fans.” It is more fun to play and win against the opposing team.

He continued: “I have many memories of the derby and we had the most wins when I was a player. The player, the fans and everyone should know that winning and scoring in this match is the best moment of my sports life. I went to the World Cup with the national team, I won the championship with Persepolis for many years and I was the captain of this team. All of this is an honor and a source of happiness, but if I am asked about the best moment of my sporting life, I would say that scoring in the FA Cup final to Esteghlal, which led to our team winning.

The manager of the Persepolis team noted: “God willing, we will be able to win the game on Saturday as well, and this laughter that I say is the best moment will include the children of Persepolis.” It does not matter who scores. I hope we can all celebrate this joy with our dear fans.

A follower explained the difference between a derby in front of a spectator and the current situation in which they could not enter the stadium due to Corona: In the old days, fans slept in front of the stadium the night before the game and the stadium doors would open at eight in the morning. From that time until we came to the stadium, they were cheering and 90% of their energy was wasted, but why talk only about the spectators’ absence in the derby?

He continued: “After the game with Masjed Soleyman Oil, I wanted to talk about the absence of the fans in the stadium, but I did not remember to say this due to the issue of professionalism and judgments.” What happened was that on Wednesday our match in Tehran was attended by fans, but on Monday we played again in Tehran without spectators. If the tournament was to be attended by fans, it would start with a meeting with the oil industry and nothing would happen. If not, why did they start the presence of the fans in the stadium so early. They waited for 20 days to a month.

The manager of Persepolis team added: “I say again that we enjoy being a fan and having fun with them is a big day for us.” Persepolis has the most fans and if someone is going to be injured without a fan, our team is first in this field. We have fans everywhere we go in Iran. We are happy to have them and there is nothing higher than enjoying the derby with the fans.

A follower of the conversation with the website of Persepolis club regarding what message he has for Yahya Golmohammadi’s students as the most experienced member of this team in the derby, replied: The players should keep calm. Put energy and come and fight with all your might. Winning a derby is important. They say do not sensitize this match, but it is also very sensitive and winning it is very beautiful and good. Let our players play with all their might so that we can leave the stadium happy on Saturday evening and something good and new will happen for the great club of Persepolis and its millions of fans.
