According to Tasnim news agency, Ismail Ismaili said about his team’s game against Traktor: “Before talking about playing with Traktor, I must say that we have a concern about the situation we had this season. We talked so much and we got tired. We were guests for a year while hosting. I thank the cities of Isfahan, Mashhad and Karaj for tolerating us. We should have a herd from Tehran province. Now, during the June holidays, everyone comes to Mazandaran from Tehran province, but we northerners, who came to Tehran to play three games, have problems for various reasons, or we have to play without spectators, or they do not allow us to play at all. I do not know what happened that Mazandaran spectators are not able to accompany their team in Tehran.
He continued: “I think we do not have eight good players and we are useless against Traktor.” Of course, we have worthy young people who are very motivated to play with tractors. In my opinion, textile confrontation with tractor has always been a good game. I expect our players to play a strong game against Traktor tomorrow, and I hope that our players and the Traktor team will finish the game safely, given that this is the last game for both teams.
The head coach of the textile football team noted: I also want to have a conversation with the officials of Mazandaran province. I do not know what happened when everyone went home after winning the Textile Cup. During the championship, everyone came in front of the cameras and looked for the championship cup and a souvenir photo to say that we were also influential, but the officials were not really influential, the officials who could not prepare even one field for textiles. It is not clear where we should play the night before our last game and our game tomorrow is on the air.
Ismaili reminded: “A week ago, the director of the club tried to prepare the ground for the martyrs of Sari to hold a game with a tractor, so that we could have a championship celebration with the spectators while playing the game.” Unfortunately, I have to say that this did not happen. Given the conditions I see in the city now, it seems unlikely that we will play in Ghaemshahr next year. We are very excited to be able to play in the home stadium after three or four weeks. If this situation continues, the situation will become really difficult and we will not have land next year.
