If It Were True, Bifouma Wouldn't Have Played / Khalili Responds to Esteghlal's Complaint: What Complaint? No!

The manager of Persepolis football team responded to rumors that Esteghlal has filed a complaint against the club's players.

According to Sport Seh, Mohsen Khalili faced the reporters after the match with Khyber Khorramabad and about the match. Today Sarkhpoushan said: I thank the good fans of Persepolis who did not leave us alone. It was a good game. In my opinion, we had a lot of chances and if we were not unlucky and our chances turned into goals, we could have won the field. However, so far, we are at the top of the table and, God willing, this process will continue until the end of the season and we will be able to achieve other successes.

He explained about Persepolis' missed opportunities: We had two opportunities and other Persepolis attackers also had good opportunities that were missed. In the final shot, when you find yourself in that situation, you realize that the player is trying to make the best decision. Bifuma also tried to make the best decision and in a way we can say that we were unlucky. He tried his best. All players are like that. No player wants to hit the worst shot; Everyone wants to make the best decision and hit the best shot. However, unfortunately our balls did not convert into goals. The fact that we were able to create three, four or five goal chances shows that the technical staff had a good understanding of the opposing team. The positions that the players made also show our team's growth.

Regarding the refereeing of the match and also the penalty returned to Persepolis, Khalili replied: Regarding the stadium and the refereeing, I must say that the refereeing was good. Mr. Heydari is one of our best judges and the judging team performed well. Regarding the penalty, we must also check the scene. Unfortunately, the internet did not help us and different people gave us different opinions. Since these people are not experts and have not seen the scene, these opinions cannot be relied upon. From our point of view, according to what we saw from the outside, the scene was a penalty and Heydari's decision was to announce a penalty. Now, if VAR has examined the scene from a different angle, the experts should comment on this and find out what happened.

At the end, one of the reporters asked a question about Esteghlal club's complaint against Persepolis players due to doping, to which Khalili replied: What complaint? No, our players did not have such a problem. If that had happened, Bifuma would not have been able to play.
