Before the match with Esteghlal of Khuzestan, Esteghlal's head coach, in response to Mehdi Tarter's statement and the need for several transfer windows to make Persepolis ideal, said: "In big teams, apart from time, it's good, but we need to understand the conditions of the fans, they always want to win and quality football." Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh said: “For this reason, we need to be able to form a cohesive group in the short term with a better plan and scheme. Time can always help a coach and Mr Tarter has done a very good job so far in my opinion; Of course, I don't know the details of the Persepolis club and I wish them the best." Referring to the clashes between the fans in the games of the two teams in recent seasons, he said: "My only request to the fans for tomorrow's game is to stay away from the sidelines, throw bottles and insults, and simply cheer on their teams because I believe that Hauz and Khuzestan have a great place in Iranian football." Bakhtiarizadeh said: "Estiklal is a big team and it has to show its best every season, we have millions of fans and their expectations are unreasonable." More details.
