According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, after Esteghlal’s 2-0 victory against Zob Ahan, Mehdi Qaidi said that Esteghlal is on the verge of being eliminated from the Asian Champions League due to the debt to Stramacuni, and said: Winning the championship in Asia is one of the goals that we and the fans have. We have, but it’s very painful to get rid of a debt that I don’t know how many years ago.
Regarding the fate of his transfer money to the Emirati club, he said: This is also a good question. Some time ago they said that it was paid. I really don’t know either. I called Shabab Al-Ahly club some time ago and they said that they wanted to complain about the consent money that Esteghlal did not give, but I begged them and they stopped for now. There are so many problems here that I don’t know which one to talk about.
The attacker of the Esteghlal football team said in response to the players of this team that they did not receive money: Is it possible for the players and members of the technical staff not to receive money on the night of Eid? Do we have such a thing? This is not the case anywhere in the world, even in a team as big as Esteghlal. Many children come with motorized snaps. Everyone has sold their car and rented the house they had and became a tenant themselves. This is the first time I have seen such a thing. I feel bad for this situation and no matter what I want to do, I can’t.
He said about the possibility of Sapinto’s separation after the recent situation: I can only say that he is a man and has a hot temper.
