Galeh Reportedly Called Me to Join Esteghlal / Closed Window Is the Key to Sohrab's Success / Yaser Asani Should Thank the Young Players

Hassan Roshan, Esteghlal legend, believes the Blues' closed window has had a positive impact on Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh's team results.

Hassan Roshan, the legend of Esteghlal, believes that the closed window of the Blues has had a positive effect on the results of Sohrab Bakhtiari Zahid's team.

Ambassador Arjan-Ali Asghar Darvish: Esteghlal is deprived of a transfer window this season and Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh uses young players in the blue-clad team of the capital, and contrary to expectations, his team is now the only undefeated team in the Premier League after the last 8 weeks, and in the first 2 games of the Asian Elite League group stage, they have won two valuable victories against Al-Sad and Al-Gharafa. Hassan Roshan, one of the legends of the Blues, has discussed the conditions of the team with Ambassador Arjan.

Wasn't Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh's performance better than Esteghlal's foreign options in the past seasons?

For seven or eight years, we have been saying that we have a good internal coach, we should not spend money on a foreign coach, but the brokers prevented us from doing so. These 18 Iranians, who are now coaches of the Premier League, have created a healthy competition in football, and with this process, the name of Kirosh will no longer come to Iranian football to hear those ugly words that were said before. Let's believe that our hands are full of good domestic coaches. Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh is considered one of those good coaches.

Esteghlal is the only team to lose in the Premier League until the eighth week. Were such results predictable despite the closed window?

No, but 90% of that closed window helped Sohrab and 10% decided by himself that it will be together 100%. If the window was open, they would go again and bring foreign garbage from these players, then the team would be like last year and the previous years.

*Yasser Asani is also considered a foreign player.

Asani is a good player and an opportunist and he is very family-oriented and that is very important. Of course, Asani had a problem in the team before. The side players of Asahi were inferior to him in terms of work and were paid more, but the closed window helped the youth of Esteghlal to come to the field and run and Asahi showed more of himself than he wanted. The ease of this brilliance should be owed to the running of young players who see him as a role model.

Independence is not very easily dependent?

Ease is dependent on independence, and independence depends on him, and in a way, they are necessary for each other.

There are news about the presence of a new goalkeeper in Esteghlal.

The famous Iranian goalkeeper told me several times that I want to come to Esteghlal and I told him that since you were in a rival team, coming here will not help you in terms of prestige and they will not help you. He called me again and I told him that I have no job in Esteghlal, but as a fan, I say that this man who is now standing at Esteghlal's gate, Habib, was the star of the elimination cup games.

So, are you confused that Habib Farabbasi should still be Esteghlal's number one goalkeeper?

Far Abbasi does his job without any limits. By God, I haven't seen him up close yet, but I'm sure this kid will be much better because he has what it takes. They should support him so much that any other goalkeeper will not think of coming to Esteghlal, but if they come to warm market and say that Mr. Taghernia said I want this national goalkeeper, that is not possible. Mr. Taghernia, what are you doing to tell this player to come? So what is the role of the technical committee? I always shout to create a technical committee. Mr. Fariba, Mr. Kothari, Mr. Namjumutalaq are good guys, but their first mistake was to approve Sapinto, and the second mistake is that they should say through the technical committee which coach or player to bring, not Mr. Tajerina or any other CEO saying that I should bring a player. If Mr. Taghernia or any other official wants to raise an option, don't say it publicly, and if he wants to do something, let him raise it through the technical committee and the head coach, otherwise this team will have a 100% technical decline. The player knows that he is playing and that he has many faults and defects, so we should not confuse his mind with these side effects. During the period when we were young and we were ruining the game, Raykov would wave for us and not swear and change us. Support for young players must continue first.

What advice do you have for Sohrab?

Remember the Mazloumi project, a few years ago, his team was in the middle of the first season, he announced that he had no players and they didn't pay him, and with these words, his team lost the lead. My point is that we must preserve and strengthen what we have now. Sohrab must also support all his players well and this can be his winning card.

Some compare Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh's independence with Persepolis during the Bronco era in the year when their window was closed and they won the championship.

Today's football is different from our time. In our time, they said first who is the coach? Who is the next player? But now football is primarily about physical strength, that is, when the team closes, a coach brings a good bodybuilder and prepares the team for 30 matches. In the second degree, there is the psychological issue, where the coach must be a psychologist himself. In the third degree, the player and in the fourth degree, the coach. Branko put a good bodybuilding coach in charge of the team and he was also an excellent psychologist, and Persepolis succeeded with those conditions, but despite all this, Persepolis had problems in the Asian Games in the same year because it had few players.

What are the chances of independence in Asia?

I am worried about the physical strength of this team. Saleh Hardani caught his leg a few games ago and was replaced, this is a sign that you should pay attention to the next 20 games. If the team is not mentally ready, it will not tolerate the hard training and will get hurt. Esteghlal is now in a downward spiral and must be taken back. In the Asian Elite League, Esteghlal advances from the group stage, but does not have a chance to win the championship.

Because our national football is not in a good state, that means we don't have good players in the league to be injected into the national team, this issue also includes the club category and the Asian Games, so we shouldn't expect championships from Iranian teams.

What suggestions do you have for improving the conditions of the national team and clubs in the Asian Games?

When our national team is strong, it means our football is strong. We do not have a player to replace in the national team. So they should use the youth and not be afraid. Even if it breaks, it gets better day by day.

How many chances does Esteghlal have in the Premier League?

If they maintain these conditions physically and mentally, they have a chance to win.
