According to the Mehr reporter, Sohail Mehdi said about the reason for rejecting the request of Esteghlal and Sepahan for the simultaneous games of the 28th week of the Premier League: The schedule was already announced. At the request of some clubs, when new needs were raised, there were requests. The Supreme Commission for Supervision of the Planning of the Competitions prepared the proposal and gave it to the supervisory authorities and the organizing groups of the competitions. In the end, the program was put in place.
Regarding the accidental mistake of Mansour Qanbarzadeh, the head of the league organization, he clarified that there was no mistake. In previous seasons, we have had three final weeks at the same time. The regulation says that the two final weeks should be at the same time. Sometimes there are requirements and for fair play, the matches of the last three weeks were simultaneous. Ghanbarzadeh commented based on these conditions. He is also a member of the working group. We made the offer, but the issue was sufficiency. The top and bottom of the table are such that we have at least competition between several teams and they are not very close to each other like in previous years.
In response to a question about the presence of spectators in the match between Persepolis and Pikan in the 28th week, the official of the tournament committee emphasized: The relevant officials are making a decision and will announce it. We are not the decision makers.
Mehdi, in response to the harsh interviews of the managers of Persepolis for the presence of spectators in the game with Pikan, said: I have devotion to their service, but I do not know the details.
In the end, he answered whether the threat of the managers of Persepolis had any effect on not changing the program of the 28th week? He said: No; none We are close clubs. We had the opinions of all the clubs over the phone. No club has threatened or threatened, and the league organization is the home of the clubs.
