Stats Reveal Persepolis' Technical Woes: Poor Passing, Lack of Focus Against Khaybar

Stats from the Persepolis vs. Khaybar Khorramabad match clearly show a technical decline among Mehdi Tartar's players, in a night that ended in a goalless draw.

The statistics of the game between Persepolis and Khyber Khorramabad clearly showed the technical decline of Mehdi Tartar's students in a night that led to a goalless draw between the two teams.

According to the reporter of Mehr, the meeting between Khyber Khorramabad and Persepolis football teams was accompanied by a goalless draw in the series of delayed games of the seventh week of the Premier League at Takhti Stadium in Khorramabad, and the performance of Mehdi Tartar's students in the previous games promised an interesting match.

With these interpretations, Persepolis appeared contrary to expectations to prevent the sixth win of the Tehrani Reds.

The most important point from the statistics of the game between Persepolis and Khyber is the noticeable decrease in the number of passes by Persepolis players. The Reds exchanged only 393 passes, which is at least 20% less than the Reds' worst game this season.

This team shot 11 times, but the low accuracy of these shots caused the Khyber goalkeeper to react only 4 times and the other balls were out of the goal.

Persepolis was not as physical as usual in the game. They won about 57 percent of the one-on-one stands in this game to act almost like the hosts. Of course, Persepolis was successful in aerial battles, but the biggest weakness of this team was on the ground and short passes of Khyberis, which Persepolis could not defend very well, and this caused two opportunities for Faraz Kamalvand's students during the game.

Lack of thirst like Persepolis attackers in Khorram Abad

Mehdi Tartar's aggressive substitutions during the game with Khyber showed that he does not think about anything but winning, but the truth of the matter was the reluctance of the attackers of this team, such as Ali Alipour and Igor Sergeev, to score. Even Pouria Shahrabadi could not put himself in a scoring position after entering the field. Tivi Bifuma, who was on the field for the last 28 minutes, was careless in taking the final shots, despite having two clear chances to score, so that Persepolis reached a goalless draw.
