Peykan head coach strongly protests against referee’s performance / Hosseini: Learn from Faghani

According to the sports correspondent of Fars News Agency, Mojtaba Hosseini, after the 1-0 defeat of Peykan against Esteghlal in the National Cup competitions and the withdrawal of his team from these competitions, attended a press conference and stated: “It was not a bad game.” Esteghlal and I wanted to offer a strong football. We worked very hard for this game. Despite the fact that the game was postponed for no reason, we did not make excuses.

He continued: “Recently, some of our players left, but we were well prepared. Esteghlal is one of the best teams in Iran and has good conditions. Both teams were looking to play football and I think good opportunities were created by our team. We had good chances, but the issue is how to judge this game.

“I do not usually talk about refereeing, but the point is that if the goalkeeper catches the ball outside the penalty area in a one-on-one situation, the referee will pass that scene just as easily,” said the Peykan football team coach. Did the goalkeeper fire us? If our one-card player blocked the opponent twice, wouldn’t the referee give him the second card? These things happened to us easily today.

Hosseini continued: Esteghlal player number 9, who also had a yellow card, made a deliberate mistake twice and prevented our attack, but the referee easily closed his eyes. This bothered us a lot. I hope that the referees who claim that the referees are very strong and should see more from this field will learn a little courage from Faghani. If Faghani has reached the top of the referee, he has dared not look at the logo of the teams’ shirts. In the 57th minute, Esteghlal’s goalkeeper had to be fired. The ball he was holding was a goal, but the rights of a young team that is working hard and working with the least margin and the least amount of money are easily lost.

Regarding the carelessness of Peykan players, he said: “The quality of our players is good and they are young.” We had not played for about 20 days and today we lost opportunities against the strong team of Esteghlal. In such games, few goals are exchanged and opportunities must be converted into goals. What can we do to increase the accuracy of the players? When we create an opportunity against a great team, it means we have worked hard.

The head coach of Peykan football team, in response to the question whether it is possible for this team to attract several players in order not to miss the games like this, said: “We have not lost the game.” Today was the FA Cup and Esteghlal made the most of its opportunities. Meanwhile, we received bad blows from the referee. In the first half of the season, it is usually not possible to attract a very good player. The only team in Iranian football that has been able to do this is Foolad. It is not a supermarket where we pay and take players. Teams do not lose their good players easily. We needed money and we lost a player, but I do not know if a player can be transferred.
