Hosseini: Unfortunately, we don’t keep the goal and we attack without air / the mistakes of some players are not equal to their names – Red News – Persepolis News
The coach of Persepolis football team said after the draw against Al-Ryan: “Some of our players have mistakes that are not up to their name and make this difficult.”
Seyyed Jalal Hosseini said after Persepolis drew 1-1 against Al-Ryan of Qatar in the fifth week of the Asian Elite League: “Unfortunately, they could not do what we asked the kids to do.” We score goals, but we can’t keep them. How many games has this been happening? We expect a lot from the experienced players, but unfortunately they couldn’t help either. That’s what Al-Ryan wanted, they defended and had dangerous players on the counter-attack. The guys tried their best, but it’s not enough. We have to try harder in the elite league. Today we were able to score a good goal, but we couldn’t save it and the situation got worse.
Regarding the many scoring opportunities that Persepolis players missed and in response to the question, “Do you still hope for promotion?”, he stated: “It is true, we create many opportunities.” The game was completely in our hands and we scored a goal, but unfortunately we did not save our goal. Sometimes we attack uncontrollably and we have problems in counterattacking. Our next game is in Qatar and we must win it. We go game by game. We also told the guys to focus on this game because we are here in another week. They did their best today and from today we will prepare for the next game and we have to see how the situation will be.
The coach of Persepolis football team, in response to the question that the Reds have changed their playing style compared to the previous season, and maybe this will create a more dangerous situation on their goal, said: It is not the case with the playing style and that the game was possessive. Last year I played our own form and this year we have our own form. In every match, we play as everyone expects. We play attacking to win, against such teams that have good players, it is dangerous to counterattack. We could score as many goals as we could. We expect more from experienced players to manage on the pitch, but that doesn’t happen on the pitch and that makes it difficult for us.
Hosseini also mentioned about the presence of world-class players in Saudi Arabia and the difficult conditions of Iranian teams: the decisions made by the AFC make the conditions difficult for some teams. We are the host in the next game, but we have to play away from home. For Saudi teams, the conditions are better in terms of players and other issues. In general, these are the decisions that are made, and they are very good and can help the development of Asian football. We can’t say anything and we have to do our job.
In response to the question that Persepolis scored the first goal in the previous games against Pakhtakor and Al-Sad, but received the equalizer in the second half, he said: We are always working on this issue. We show the conditions to the players after every game and we work a lot day by day, but unfortunately some players have mistakes that are not up to their name and this makes it difficult. These same mistakes make us tie the game. I hope they do what we ask of the players. Some players should know this and understand the situation. Our work has become difficult and it will become more difficult in the future.
