We have the most fans and their absence in the derby was to our detriment



Mizan News Agency – Afshin Pirvani on the eve of the derby and in an interview with the official media of Persepolis Club spoke about the experiences and atmosphere of this game.

He said: “For us who are looking for a championship, especially the sixth consecutive championship, all games are important and sensitive, but in these circumstances, the derby is different for Persepolis and its fans.” Championship means beating all the rivals, but winning the game face to face is really another thing.

“Thank God we had the most wins when I played,” said the former white derby captain and goal scorer. If I am asked about the best moment of my sporting life, despite all the championships and participation in the World Cup, I will choose the moment of scoring in the derby of the FA Cup final, which also led to Persepolis winning. (That goal also brought the first double of the club’s history).

He added: “God willing, the children will leave the field on Saturday with laughter and joy, and I wish the joy that I got in that derby for each of the children to score.”

“When we were playing, the fans came the night before and slept in front of Azadi Stadium,” a follower said of the match without spectators. It would open at the stadium at eight o’clock. From then on, the audience started cheering. When we arrived, 90% of their energy was gone. Without spectators, the derby is impressive.

He said: “At the end of the previous game, it was necessary to raise some issues, including the issue of professional licenses, and we could not talk about the spectators.” What really happens is that we have spectators on Wednesday. Everything is done well. Will the game be without spectators on Monday? If they were not supposed to come, why did it start and if it did, why did it stop? Winning a derby in front of a spectator is the best pleasure of football. We have the most fans, and when spectators are not allowed to enter, it is the biggest loss for Persepolis to go to any city, it has spectators.

A follower added about what advice he can give to the players based on his experiences in the derby: “It is not right that this game should not be sensitized.” This game is inherently sensitive. I tell the players; Keep calm and play the highest level of energy and concentration. I hope another good thing happens for Persepolis on Saturday.
