Ashkan Namdari has a history of playing in Esteghlal as a player and goalkeeper coach. The coach believes that it was right to dismiss Yasir Asani, but the assistant referee should not have upset this player.
We discussed the situation of Esteghlal in the match with Esteghlal of Khuzestan and other matters related to this team with Namdari, which you can read below:
Fatigue of independence
The fatigue of Esteghlal was clearly evident due to numerous matches and consecutive games, and of course, Khuzestani’s opponent also resisted against this great team. On Saturday night, we saw a show of equality that ended in a draw. Of course, when Esteghlal Tehran scored the first goal, I thought the game would end with the same result, but the dismissal of Arif Aghasi made Esteghlal Khuzestan gain morale and press. They even got ahead of their guests at one point, but Esteghlal Tehran managed to return to the field very well despite the dismissal of Yasir Asani and draw the game to a draw. In general, Esteghlal offers football with thought, and I think that in the second half of the season, with the recruitment of new players, we will see a better performance from this team.
Yasir Asani should have been fired
I watched the game live and I think Yasir’s easy move deserved to be sent off, but the assistant referee could have been less rude with him and not make him angry and sent off. The middle referee could also manage the work, but Yasir Asani should not have done such a move under any circumstances as an experienced player.
Habib was to blame for the second goal
Habib Far Abbasi was not at fault for the first goal, but I think he should have performed better for the second goal, because we have seen a very good performance from him in the past weeks. These days, the expectations of Habib have increased and this issue can affect his performance, so he should concentrate more.
I would like this goalkeeper to return to Iran
Regarding the discussions raised about “Luan Poli” and the possibility of this goalkeeper returning to Iranian football, I must say that I talked to him some time ago, and he told me that he has offers from his country, Brazil, as well as the Belgian league, but he would like to appear again in Iranian football, and by the way, I also want to see Luan again in Nasaji, as he is popular with the fans of this team, but he may not come to Iran due to the current conditions in the Middle East.
