Taj: The promise to Persepolis is in the middle and I have to help to solve Nekonam’s concern

According to the sports reporter of Fars news agency, Mehdi Taj, who was present at the stadium where the Omid Iran-Thailand match was held today, and watched Reza Enayati’s students win 2-0 against the opponent, said: “It was a good game.” I think Reza Enayati wanted the team to play faster and score more goals. One of the 2 goals that the Thais scored was due to a mistake by their goalkeeper and the other was a penalty.

He added: “We may have problems in the future games if we want to play like this.” Anyway, when 70-80% of the game is in our hands, something else should happen and we should score more goals. Not to say that we should win with a big goal difference, but I feel that Enayati was not very satisfied.

The head of the football federation said: Enayati himself said in a press conference that he is not very satisfied with this type of victory and, God willing, we will win the next game with a much better result.

Taj explained about the request of Persepolis to accompany Yasin Salmani, Mohammad Omri and Mehdi Ahmadi in the trip to Qatar to play with Al-Dhail: That is why I am going to the meeting. Mehran Farqani, the manager of the Omid team, has already reached an agreement and understanding with the Persepolis club and concluded to do this. Reza Darvish told me, Manaf Hashemi and Poladgar that the head of the Omid team promised that this work would be done. This issue is important for us and if there is a promise that these 3 players were brought to China to send them to Qatar to play in Al Duhail, we should talk to Darvish himself to see what the result will be.

Regarding his recent meeting with Javad Nekonam, he said: I am the head of the federation and he is also the head coach of Esteghlal. I feel that some problems of independence are important for the country. As Persepolis and Sepahan are also important. I should listen to Nekonam’s concerns and I will do whatever I can to resolve these concerns.
