According to Tasnim news agency, Morteza Pourali Ganji stated about his presence in the Persepolis team: I am very happy to be back in Iran and I am proud to wear the Persepolis shirt. Thank you to everyone who helped in this way.
He added: “Negotiations for my presence in Persepolis did not take long because I did it to go to the World Cup with the Persepolis shirt.” I was also honored to wear the Persepolis shirt. I thank God and I am very happy.
The new defender of Persepolis stated: “Persepolis have always been kind to me and I hope I deserve their love. In the past years, there was a lot of talk about my presence in Persepolis, but I had long-term contracts with other teams and this could not happen. Under the circumstances, I was able to return to Iran. Different teams were kind to me, but I told all of them that if I play in Iran, my priority is Persepolis.
Regarding his re-collaboration with Yahya Golmohammadi, Pour-Ali Ganji said: “I was honored to be his student in the oil team.” At the age of 19, they were very kind to me and turned me on again. As a central defender, he handed me over to the national team. I talked to Golmohammadi and everything went well. He trusted me and I hope I can answer his trust.
“The fans were kind to me,” he said. When it came to my discussion of coming to Persepolis, they were very, very kind. I hope I can help the team as much as I can so that I will not be ashamed of them. The atmosphere of Persepolis is such that all the players like to be here. When I came, I played with the players in the national team and I have experience with coaches; It was respectable that I was accepted after the dangerous injury I suffered. When I participated in the training, everyone welcomed me and was very kind to me. Thank you all; My injury was not small and it happened to me when I was not able to train with the team.
Pour-Ali Ganji continued by stating that it is not possible to win five consecutive years in any league, saying: “This may happen in a series of leagues, but I feel that this will not be repeated in our league.” There may be times when a team does not win, but I think Persepolis could have won this year as well. Nothing detracts from the values of Persepolis, and I think it can be repeated with the management, staff experience and talent of the champion players.
In the end, he reminded: “I thank the fans and I hope they will support me so that I, as a small member of Persepolis, can do a great service to the team and raise the flag of this team in Asia and Iran, and this flag will always be high.”
