Osmar Viera said in a press conference before the match with Tehran fans: “We are very happy to win the Premier League.” We know how important the FA Cup is for us. Our goal is to reach the final and win the FA Cup.
The coach of Persepolis football team continued: We had four defeats in the Premier League, one of which was against the fan team. That’s why we know how difficult the game is and they play in a special way. We will go to the field with a good strategy to defeat this team.
He continued: “The elimination cup match has its own conditions and it may be 90 minutes and it may be 120 minutes.” We would have liked the fans to be present in this match, but unfortunately we are not benefited from this privilege.
In response to the question of which team would you like to play with in the finals, Vira said: What is certain is that we have to play with the team that will win the semi-final. It doesn’t matter which team we play with.
The coach of the Persepolis football team said about the risk of being banned from the finals for several players of this team and the effect on their performance in the semi-finals: We had the same situation in the last eight weeks of the league and many were in danger of being banned, but this did not happen. The upcoming game is also important for us.
