On Monday night, Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh was an in-person guest of the Beretar Football program and had a detailed discussion about the situation of the Blue Poshans. It is not bad to read a summary of Bakhtiarizadeh’s words below:
What did they do that made Yasir Asani so angry?
I don’t want to judge the respected judges, but I have never seen Yasir Asani so angry. What made Yasser go crazy like this? In previous games, this player showed that he always respects the opposing team and the referees, but what made him lose his temper and take the second card in that critical situation when we were trying to compensate for our own backlog? During these last two seasons, I have never seen Yasir Asani so angry.
Play the voices of the judges
I respect Mr. Ildrum, but he did not have a good day. Tell them to broadcast the discussion between the judges on the radio so that everything is clear. I hope that there will be a judgment about Yasser so that he and Esteghlal Club will not suffer. Yasser told me something about this story that I don’t like to announce in this program.
The most difficult season of independence
From the first day that I took over the leadership of Esteghlal, I knew that the most difficult season of Esteghlal was ahead of me, but from the very first day, I tried to instill this mindset in the players that they can succeed even in these conditions. Of course, from the very first day, I had prepared myself for any eventuality.
We do not have fundamental changes
We are not going to change the whole team for the return round, but we have limited changes in the half season. Of course, remember that even if the independence window was open, I still wouldn’t allow us to buy a player emotionally and unprofessionally. If Esteghlal is going to get a foreign player, it should be people like Ashurmatov, Masharipov and Yasir Asani.
Ramin Rezaian separated due to financial issues
I did things with the support of the fans that I think few people had the courage to do in Esteghlal. Don’t forget, I restricted the use of several important players during the days when the Esteghlal window was closed. People like Ramin Rezaiyan, Aref Gholami, Abolfazl Jalali, Didiye Andung, Armin Sohrabian, Musa Genpo, Dokenznazon, etc. These dear ones are all good players, but I felt that one part of the work is technical discussion and the other discussion is humility within the group. Humility in whether they can handle being benched? I felt that these loved ones can’t have what I want and that’s why we stopped working together. Of course, in the case of Ramin Rezaian, I must also say that the main reason for his separation was financial issues, because I disagreed with his proposed amount.
Honored to be the head coach in Esteghlal
The more Esteghlal national players, the more the confidence of the team increases and it is in my favor. I am proud to be the head coach of Esteghlal in a season where I have these players at my disposal.
The story of Saleh Hardani
In the case of Saleh Hardani, I was the most upset that day when I asked him not to show up for training anymore, but I did it so that Saleh would become more humble and professional. I wanted him to think more about himself. I had to make that decision for the future of self-reliance and independence. When I said that Ishan should not come to training as long as I am there, that was when he should have reacted and after he gave an interview and apologized, I told the club that he can come back now.
Tartar and Persepolis
Persepolis attracted any player that Mr. Tartar wanted. Of course, this is not a reason to put pressure on him because the new head coach and new players need time to adapt to the conditions of this team. I see Persepolis as a very good team, but Tartar should be given a chance.
Mahmoudi should not forget his past
Amirhossein Mahmoudi has the right to enjoy prosperity and achieve his dreams, but he should not forget the fact that two years ago he wished to be in such a position, so he should use it in a favorable way.
Why Andong is not independent?
From the very first day, I told the club that if any player comes and says that they will give me more money elsewhere, do not negotiate with him at all and let him go because Esteghlal wants a player who is here with his heart. Regarding Monir al-Hadadi, I must say that the club told me from the beginning that Monir had no desire to return, but in the case of Andung, I myself had no desire to work with him. Of course, Andong was a good player, but the manager of his programs did not prioritize the interests of the club, and this was not good for us at all.
