Bakhtiarizade's anger reached its peak.
Sohrab's ultimatum to the managers of Astagalal.
The Astagalal football team, due to the maintenance of the grass of the camp of the late Nasser Hejazi, holds its training at Azadi field number 4, a field that is not of high quality and caused dissatisfaction among the staff and players. In the situation that Estagalal achieved good results in the current season, especially in the Asian Premier League, but it faces problems in providing the most basic facilities it needs.
Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh, the head coach of Esteghlal, emphasized in his talks with the club's managers before the start of the season that this team needs at least two suitable pitches during the season so that the events of the last few years do not repeat themselves. At that time, he mentioned Esteghlal's home run in recent years and the lack of proper grass in this club.
Despite the promises of Estagalal managers, including Ali Tegrania, to provide a suitable training ground, but now this team has to train on a pitch with unsuitable grass, a matter that caused Bakhtiarizade's discomfort and anger.
Bakhtiarizade was not content with only having a suitable training ground in his plans. The head coach of Esteghlal emphasized that he wants to equip himself with a set where the players stay there for a few hours and do not go home immediately after training. Bakhtiarizade's goal was to focus, prepare mentally, recover and take care of their physical condition during the season, but such facilities were not optimally provided to Estagalal.
The club managers were looking for a contract with complexes such as Azadi field number two or Fez Stadium, but have not yet reached a result. Bakhtiarizadeh believes that in a season when the transfer window is closed and no money is paid for new players' contracts, the Estegalal club could have provided at least basic facilities and necessary infrastructure.
According to the Tasnim reporter's follow-up, Estagalal's head coach conveyed his dissatisfaction with the current situation to Mustafa Mutadin, Estagalal's new general manager, and expects the problem at his team's training ground to be resolved, which has not happened so far.
