🔻Mehdi Tartar, the head coach of Persepolis, after beating Shams Azar in the first week of the Premier League, said: “For a long time, Persepolis hadn’t tasted victory. In the first half, we remembered Persepolis of the 60s, but we still have a lot of work to do to reach our best form.”

🔹He said: “The name Persepolis is associated with championships. A championship suffix should always follow the name Persepolis. The goal of this team is always to win the title. The championship DNA is in the blood of Persepolis players. But I’m not promising a championship; we must fight for the championship, and the fans should be patient. We have a young team.”
