According to the Mehr reporter, the Persepolis football team, with a three-on-one victory against Foolad in the first week of the Premier League competitions, drew its line and badge to defend five consecutive championships and was ready for the second week match against Mazandaran Textile.
Khuzestan Steel became the first victim of Persepolis Model 1400, which had not experienced any failure in its own stadium in Ahvaz in the past two years. Yahya Golmohammadi’s team managed to win against Foolad, showing two relatively different halves.
Return to the winning formula with cross passes
Abdullah Weiss’s students wanted to take possession of the ball at home and create a dangerous situation with deep passes on the team’s goal. This caused Foolad to play the ball in the first 45 minutes behind the goal of Persepolis, but the performance of the team’s defense prevented them from doing so.
Persepolis had a different performance in the second half. Over time, this team was able to take possession of the ball. In the second half, the Reds were able to take full control of the midfield and used the influence of players such as Vahid Amiri, Ehsan Pahlavan and Mehdi Torabi to repeatedly endanger the Steel Gate.
50% shots
Persepolis’ tactics against Foolad showed insistence on shooting the team’s technical staff. It seems that the Reds, unlike last season, want to threaten the opponent’s goal with their shots. Yahya’s students shot at Ehsan Moradian’s goal 10 times in this game, fifty percent of which was accompanied by the reaction of the steel goalkeeper.
Save 500 with the fewest mistakes
Persepolis had more than 500 short and long passes in the game against Khuzestan Steel. 530 passes with 82% accuracy. The interesting point was the increase in the number of short and cross passes of Persepolis in one third of its offensive line. Persepolis players passed the ball more than 150 times behind the steel penalty area to penetrate deep into the steel defense. The passes that were evident in the third goal of this team by Isa Al-Kathir.
Repeat a path full of cups
In its first game, Persepolis showed that it is repeating the successful tactics of the past. With its usual formula, this team has always won the Premier League, knockout and Super Cup trophies and wants to win the double hat-trick again with the same statistics and win in critical games.
