According to the reporter of Mehr, the 99 derby of the capital ended with a 2-2 draw between Esteghlal and Persepolis, while the capital’s Reds faced a forced system change due to not having two of their foreign attackers.
Sheikh Diabate was injured 10 weeks before the derby and Jurgen Lokadia also packed his bags for good one day before the most important meeting of his team’s season to leave the country and shock Yahya Golmohammadi.
This and the player were absent for the most important game of the season, while the Persepolis club spent about 1 million and 550 thousand euros at the beginning of the season to sign the contract of these players and paid all their monthly demands in order to pay for their demands like foreign players in previous seasons. Do not complain to FIFA.
Also, the Persepolis club rewarded the wins of this team in the current season to foreign players as well as other members of the Reds, so that there would not be the slightest problem in the dressing room, but again, on the pretext of his wife’s illness, Lukadia decided to leave the red camp one step away from the derby game. The best player of this team will shock all the fans.
Persepolis club also gave Lokadia only two days to return, but this player has collected all his personal belongings and handed over the key to his apartment to show that he has no intention of returning to Persepolis.
Meanwhile, Persepolis must continue the Premier League games without the presence of its two foreign strikers, who have not yet signed a contract with Issa Al Kathir as a free agent, and Hamed Pakdel and Mehdi Abdi, as the two current domestic strikers, still have a place in Yahya’s technical thinking. They don’t have roses.
Persepolis Club is planning to file a complaint against Lokadia, which is said to have left the country using some legal clauses in its contract, and is not worried about a possible fine from FIFA.
Sheikh Diabate suffered a long-term injury twice in this season, so that his playing time has not reached 90 minutes so far this season. This is despite the fact that his presence in the game with his former team Esteghlal Tehran could have put additional pressure on the blue-clad defenders of the capital, but the injury prevented this from happening.
The strange times of Persepolis with the absence of expensive foreign attackers can have unpleasant consequences for the current leader who claims the championship.
