In an interview with the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Payan Rafat said about the match between Persepolis and Nasaji in the last week of the Premier League: This is the last step that Persepolis must take to win the league and see the results of its efforts. Fortunately, the team is in the best possible condition mentally and technically, and I hope they will get three points in the last game and confirm their championship.
Regarding the fact that Nasaji has not managed to get three points in the last 15 games, Rafat clarified: Each game has its own conditions and Nasaji wants to show itself in this special game. They play in their own field, but Persepolis also has several northern players in their team who are aware of the playing conditions in Qaimshahr. Persepolis must play its usual game and I believe that Nasaji should not be underestimated in any way. In my opinion, if Persepolis plays 50% of the game with goals against Nasaji, they will win.
The former forward of the Persepolis football team pointed to the comments of some Sepahan players and technical staff about Persepolis in the past weeks and noted: Unfortunately, many people do not see the success of Persepolis and want to push this team to the sidelines. Persepolis has shown on the field how high-quality and powerful the team is, and surely the players of this team will not pay attention to the margins made by others.
