Shuja Khalilzadeh's response to the disciplinary committee's decision: With this sentence, obscenities were released! I apologize to my mother and my wife. Radio belongs to all people, not to a special team! Shuja Khalilzadeh, the captain of the tractor, made controversial statements in a four-page statement in response to the disciplinary committee's three-to-zero vote regarding the events of the meeting with the sailor: “If others leave their hundred, we must be a thousand in the tractor. Fortunately, we have a head coach who does not neglect his work for a moment, and we all try to get closer to his wishes." "I apologize to my family, especially my mother and wife, who were insulted for no reason. Also, I sincerely apologize to the honorable people of Azerbaijan who were the target of ethnic insults in that game." "The club announced its position regarding this ruling, but as someone who heard obscenities on that day as in all my football years and his family was disrespected in a cowardly way, I feel I have the right to repeat the important sentence of the club's statement: with this ruling, obscenity has been unleashed in Iranian football." "Unfortunately, some presenters of color use the radio platform to support their favorite team; although this podium belongs to all people, not a specific team. “In this sensitive situation, your presence [Tractor fans] is more than the 12th support for us. I'm sure you won't leave us alone and we'll fight with all our might for the tractor's pride and your happiness."
