Defender of Persepolis: I went to Esteghlal to complete the Persepolis quota

The defender of Persepolis says: "Serkhpoushan's quota was filled because I went to Esteghlal a few years ago."

Hossein Abargouinejad, the defender of Persepolis football team, stated: I had a very difficult situation in Persepolis at the beginning and I had deactivated my Instagram page. The fans were right, I had come to replace Golsiani and I had to prove myself anyway. At first I was on Kartal's list, but then Hashemian said I need you and I want to recruit you with the program and they wanted a left-footed central defender. I am happy to be part of the big family of Persepolis. Tartar's philosophy is that every player gets a position, and that's a good thing, because players have to improve.

He added: The match against Russia was my first national match and I was very stressed. Russia is a good team and I was surprised that I was fixed, but I thank God. Unfortunately, I got injured in the next game and this injury took me away from the national team. I was not invited to a camp, I was invited again, but I could not go to the World Cup.

In response to the one-on-one loss that Bifuma lost in the match with Khyber, Abargouinejad said: Bifuma is a very strong football player. He heads, he is technical, he has good speed. Bifuma thought the ball was going to score and that's why he missed the one-on-one. Yasir Asani is really high quality. Bifuma, Asani and Oronov are really good and they performed better than Iranian players.

The defender of Persepolis said: At first I was a defensive midfielder and now I have been playing as a central defender for 4 years. Saeed Zahihi used me as a middle defender and made me improve. Maybe if I had stayed as a midfielder, I would not have reached Persepolis. I also promoted to the Premier League twice in a row. I am 30 years old and I have not lost my age! Every time I go back to Khorramabad, I feel good and I like this city very much.

He said: We have a lot of players and there is a lot of variety in them. Now you can see that Amirhossein Mahmoudi is a very strong footballer and even Omri, but they don't get the game. It was after the game with Naft that Tartar apologized that he could not play for all the players. The other players are also playing well.

Abargouinejad said: The number of fellow players makes everyone strong. Bifuma is not last year's Bifuma and this year he plays more than last season and the reason is the existence of co-posting. I think you have to improve and get better to be able to play. For Tartar, not only in-game performance is important, but he also monitors the performance in training and it is important to him who performs well to be in the squad. Tartar is a very strict person.

The defender of Persepolis said: Poya Esmi is a very promising name and I think it is Tabrizi. Esmi is tall. Mohammad Mehdi Zare and Daniyal Iri are good players. Also, Mohammad Hossein Kananizadegan is a weight for Persepolis. He controls the atmosphere of the team with Ali Alipour. Mohammad Mahdi Zare, like me, is very relaxed.

He said: "Our team plays on the field and when the field is damaged like the game with Khyber, the condition of our game will be damaged." It was the same in our time, at that time, the entire land had to be completely dug up and built under construction. Abdi is alone and needs to be helped. Two passes could not be made there.

Abargouinejad said about the special conditions of the Persepolis team's stay in Babak city: I heard that they did not give us a hotel in Babak city, and apparently our accommodation in this city is similar to the organizational houses of the oil company. Anyway, the city of Babkis has a guest house and there is no news of a hotel.

He continued: "I like the play of Kanani and Agassi in the central defense position." I like the playmaker's central defense. Saman Fallah also has this feature of creating games.

Abargouinejad said: When I was in League Three, I said that one day I would come to Persepolis; My teammates laughed, but it became reality. I have a diploma and did not study; I took a lot of leave from university, I became a soldier! Also, I had to go to League Three due to being drafted from the Premier League; Right now I am five years behind my football!

In response to a photo of him wearing Esteghlal's uniform, Abargouinejad said: I played in Persepolis Youth and Omid. My mistake was that I went to a senior team in League One at that age and was destroyed there. When I came back, I wanted to go back to Persepolis, but their quota was full, so I went to Esteghlal. Even during Mansooryan's time, I was among the seniors in five games.
