Mansour Rashidi, in an interview with a sports reporter of Tasnim News Agency, about the one-on-one draw between Esteghlal and Sepahan in the 25th week of the Premier League, said: Sepahan is one of the most valuable and good teams in the Premier League. We saw a very good and beautiful game from both teams. I did not think Esteghlal would play so well after the closure of the Premier League. Both teams missed many opportunities. Sepahan and Esteghlal game was one of the best games of the last few seasons of Iranian football. The main thing was that both teams played nice, beautiful and tactical, and as a veteran, I enjoyed watching this game.
He said that due to the superiority of Persepolis against Peykan, the team’s gap with Esteghlal reached 4 points: “It is true that the gap between the points was reduced, but let’s not forget that Esteghlal played against Sepahani, which had good nuts.” We do not have easy games in the league, but Esteghlal had its hardest game. I consider Esteghlal to have a better chance of winning, provided that Farhad Majidi’s students do not make mistakes. Esteghlal played well against Sepahan and I do not think we have seen such a beautiful game in recent years.
“Yamga had fallen a little bit, but it wasn’t bad,” Esteghlal veteran said of what appears to be a decline in Kevin Yamga. Again, with all these closures, Esteghlal did not play a bad game. Farhad Majidi must strengthen his team mentally and physically to reach his goal in the remaining 5 games until the end of the league.
