In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Nasser Ebrahimi said: “A player who does not play five games for Persepolis cannot be judged, referring to the recruitment of Jurgen Lokadia to strengthen the attack line of Persepolis.” They always say that good foreigners come to Persepolis, but really none of them have been good in the last several years. The fact that Lokadia has a strong resume does not mean that he will be brilliant in the atmosphere of Iranian football. His physique is decent, but we shouldn’t really get caught up in his name. Such players are always unknown to me to see several games from them.
The veteran of the Persepolis football team added: “We have to accept that our football cannot bring a first-class foreign player.” That’s why I don’t want to make such a big deal about a player who doesn’t know what he’s capable of so that he considers himself above the team.
Criticizing the cycle of players coming in from the outside, he stated: The manager has become result-oriented just like the coach. In vain, he is afraid of a series of insults from his fans in cyberspace and will do anything to become popular. This is not the right way to run a club. It is really strange to me that there was not one person from the foundations in Persepolis. This is a very sad method that includes all of Iran’s football because its output is nothing!
Ebrahimi mentioned about Reza Darvish’s performance in Persepolis Club: The reality is that I always ask and I don’t have an answer. 24 CEOs have come to Persepolis in 43 years. They give him money, but they don’t have the ability to manage it. Management is not about having a pocket full of money, but managing a collection with all its shortcomings and also their correct process is important. I don’t deal with individuals, but the cycle of choosing managers and then their efficiency is important to me.
Regarding Reza Darvish’s financial statement regarding the current season’s expenses of the Persepolis senior team, he emphasized: I did not understand anything about it. It was quite clear that they had lined up such numbers for government and stock market justifications. I don’t know if this is considered transparency or not.
The former head coach of Persepolis said about the contenders for the current season’s championship: it is too early to talk about the most basic issues. Maybe in the coming weeks, something will happen that will shock us all. I can say in the sixth week which team is the main contender for the championship, but now I have no claim about this issue. This issue can be understood after five games of the teams.
