Rabiei: The game against Naft was more difficult than Persepolis

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency from Kerman, after the victory against Masjid Suleiman oil team, Mohammad Rabiei said in a press conference after the game: “I say don’t be tired about Masjid Suleiman oil team and the technical staff of this team, and I think that due to the experience of coaching I said yesterday before the game that today we will have a tough game against Naft Masjid Suleiman. This game was more difficult for us than the Persepolis game, which is because the teams that have their last chances for survival are trying hard, and it is actually very difficult to play against these teams. These teams use all their existence and tools to get points out of the games. Finally, I congratulate the players. Maybe if we had scored earlier, we would have scored more goals and this would have changed the course of the game.

He added: I thank my players, they played very good games and we dedicate this victory to the good people of Rafsanjan, and I hope we will get good results in the remaining 5 games and show quality football. This is very good for our team who have won 5 of their last 6 games. We played a good 70 minutes against Persepolis considering that we were 10 players. We hope to continue this process and prepare ourselves for the next games.

The head coach of the football team, Mes Rafsanjan, said about the penalty misses by the team’s players: We missed 4 penalties during the league, one of which was today. Jefferson is one of the best female penalty takers in our team. In most trainings, we have a penalty kick. Maybe the interruption in the game and the late penalty made us lose this penalty. I have no complaints and I also understand the opposing team that they must do their best to get results and keep their team in the table. I don’t have anything to say about the opposing team, but today’s game was interrupted a lot. In total, 2 halves, when 14 minutes of overtime are taken, means that there was a big break in the game. We created many chances, but we could not use them. As I said at the beginning of my speech, it is very difficult to play against such teams.

About Godwin Mensha and the future of this player, Rabiei said: Mensha played positively for the team when he went to the field. When Gleb scored, I have to go and see if it was offside or not. Overall it was a good game and the players are all trying to play good football. Our team is disciplined and we do our training for each game and we will use our own players according to the strategy we have for each game. Mensha has had better conditions in the second half of the season than in the first half, but we have many players in the forward position and I have always defended all of them. All my players know that they have to compete in training and be the best so that they can play according to my strategy. Competition among players should be constructive because it makes them improve as well as the team. We even have Hamed Lak in goal, but whenever we needed our other goalkeepers, they came and did their job well. A team that has competition among players, their efficiency on the field will be clear.
