🔻Maziar Tartar, the coach of Persepolis, after a 4-1 victory against Esteghlal Khuzestan, said: “I think we haven’t been together for two months yet and we are working. A coach sometimes works with his team for 3 years, but we are currently a bit ahead of the goals we had set.”

🔹He said: “We have to resolve the problems; we need to be strengthened in one position, and until the transfer period, when we have the time, I want [the club] to sign, from the club management that works night and day, at least the number of players needed in one position.”

🔹Tartar said: “I was disappointed that we conceded that goal. We need to know our team better. In the last two games, we were a good team, and today I need to raise this complaint with the attacking line players, because we lost balls that I found surprising. We have to work with our young players so that they don’t so easily let these chances go by.”

🔹He said: “I would like to sincerely thank my players who, from minute one, were exceptional like in the previous game, and showed that this year they can do great things. From day one, the goal was to win all the matches and play bravely, because the fans like this kind of football.”
