Our opponent is the most prepared team in the league;/ Kamalvand: Tomorrow we want to beat Persepolis

The head coach of Khyber Khorramabad praised Mehdi Tartar's Persepolis and said about his team's high motivation to win tomorrow's home game.

According to the report of Sport Se, Faraz Kamalvand in a press conference before the delayed match of the seventh week of the Premier League against Persepolis, while pointing to the quality and different conditions of the Reds in the current season, emphasized that his team will enter the field with sufficient knowledge of the opponent and the motivation to score three points. The head coach of Khyber also talked about the condition of the players, the problem of his team's concentration in the final minutes, the offensive performance of his students and the pressure of the Premier League matches.

Faraz said at the beginning: Tomorrow we have a very important game against Persepolis. With the presence of Mr. Tartar, Persepolis has found a completely different situation compared to the last one or two years, and the good results it has achieved are proof of this. It has a very good and productive team, and Mr. Tartar, who is one of the good and technical football coaches of our country, was able to create a different situation for Persepolis compared to previous seasons, but due to the fact that there was enough time during the holidays, we analyzed Persepolis and we have enough knowledge and know very well what the Persepolis team's conditions are in attack and defense. While we play a good game, we also get a good result.

He explained about the absentees of his team for tomorrow's game: One or two of our kids had minor injuries, but we definitely have some changes compared to the last one or two games. We replaced some of the children in the list of tomorrow. In the past weeks, we have tried to ensure that if a player shows good quality in training, he will be included in the team. We were very happy last week that two of our goals were scored by young players and now we have a very good, young and quality team. Young players like Mr. Farsi, Timuri, Haji Aghaei, Mohebi and Dinarund have made our team a young and dynamic team. Last week, we lost three game points due to negligence, and we could have returned to Yazd with our hands full. With the mistake that Mr. Mohammadi Mehr made in the minute when the game was ending, a dead ball became a penalty and we were able to get three points, but we have good things and we have no problem for tomorrow's game.

The head coach of Khyber explained that his team lost the victory in the final minutes: When the result was changed to a draw, there is definitely a reason, but the reason is not physical. The reason is that children are not focused enough. Of course, our progress has really improved after the Pikan game against Aluminum, Steel, Textile and the last game, and everyone can see that Khyber is a very high-quality team, but this should not have happened in this last game, and the conditions were not such that we could say that it happened based on the team's physical decline. I think kids lose focus at some point in the game; Despite the fact that we have warned, this happened to us both in the first minutes and in the final minutes, but, God willing, we have taken measures to stop it from continuing. In addition, in the last two games against Nasaji and Chadormelo, we played good and high-quality football, and I think we had more than 10 scoring chances in our last two games. In the game with Nasaji, we hit three or four balls on the goal post and hit two or three one by one. In the Chadormelo game, if the children were careful, when the game was 1-0, we could have scored the second and third goals. Our biggest problem is that kids lose concentration in minutes and we work on their mentality so that we can control the whole flow of the game so that this does not happen again.

Referring to the motivation of his students to win this game, he said: The kids are fully motivated for tomorrow's game and I know that the fans will come and give maximum support and I hope that we will show a quality game in the first place. Our strength is that we have a young team and the football of all the young kids who play is remarkable. Next to this team, we are the third in terms of goals scored, and this shows that we play attacking football. I hope that tomorrow the children will be able to play with full concentration and the mistakes of the previous games will not be repeated.

In response to whether his team has the necessary spirit to win against Persepolis, Kamalvand said: "Definitely." When a team is the third team in the table in terms of goals scored, it shows that the kids of that team have the desire to win and the motivation to win. I don't want to call it bad luck and pay too much attention to the word luck, but in the last two games against Nasaji and Chadormelo, we really deserved to get six points. In the match against Nasaji, we scored three times, and in the last match, after the goal we scored, we had two 100 percent goal chances, and if the game was 2-0 or 3-0, the opponent could not turn the game around. Tomorrow is no exception to this rule and you can be sure that the children will play with motivation. I believe that Persepolis is currently the most prepared player in the league, and it is completely different from Persepolis of the past two or three years, and the reason is that Mr. Tartar is one of the experienced coaches of the league, and he knows the league well, and he has covered the weak points of the past years with the players he recruited. That's why I think tomorrow we will see an interesting match between the two teams and we will enter the match with the motivation to win.

Reacting to whether Khyber's two victories against Persepolis last season did not make the players of this team proud, he said: No, I do not believe in this and I think the children know that Persepolis this year is completely different from Persepolis two or three years ago. Persepolis lost six games in a row last year, but the current Persepolis is completely different. Our kids are not in the wind of that win last year, but this does not mean that we think that because Persepolis is a good team, they can beat Pa. We are playing in our own field and I know that the fans will come and support us until the 90th minute, just like playing against Foulad. I also promise you that we will play an aggressive game. I hope that we will use the conditions that arise in the game and the opportunities that we get in the best possible way.

Regarding the effect of postponing some matches on the conditions of the teams, Faraz said: There is no solution in some places. Unfortunately, the events that happened last season and the imposed war that split our league in half, transferred its pressure to this year. The number of teams increased, and as a rule, when the number of teams increases, the number of matches also increases. On the other hand, the clash between the senior national team and the Omid national team and Asian club competitions has made us have a tight league. We still haven't fully recovered from the Yazd game and tomorrow we have to play Persepolis. After that, less than four days later, we have to prepare ourselves for the match with Esteghlal Khuzestan. Tomorrow we will play Persepolis, Thursday is recovery, Friday is rest and on Saturday we have to sweat and go and play Esteghlal Khuzestan on Sunday. There is no time to rest and analyze competitors in such a tight competition. I believe that competition is somewhat inevitable.
