According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, Dariush Shojayan said after the scoreless draw against Pikan: “We had several opportunities against Pikan that we didn’t use.” We had three or four 100% scoring opportunities and we did not score a single empty goal in the first half. If one of them scored a goal, we could get three points, God willing, we will make up for it in the next games.
In response to the question whether he was upset about his replacement, he said: No, I wasn’t upset, it’s the coach’s opinion. I didn’t have any problem with the substitution, but I thought I could help the team in the rest of the game and I told him I wish you would let me play and he said it’s okay.
The midfielder of the Hawadar football team added: “We have said everywhere that our team is called Hawadar, but it does not have any fans, and we do our work without hesitation.” I hope that we will continue to add our league to the top of the table.
Shojayan, who has a history of playing in Esteghlal, clarified about the differences between Esteghlal and Persepolis: Let me say a general sentence, where are we going? I don’t care what they said and what happened. We are all football players and we make a living from this football and it is not nice to want to kill each other. The big teams are together, but maybe there are a bunch of things behind the scenes to make it a bunch of podiums and things happen that make us talk a thousand words. We are all footballers and if we help each other it is much better to save each other.
He also told reporters about the removal of Babak Moradi from the fan team: I am not aware of this issue and it is better to ask the technical staff.
