Alaeddin: Esteghlal Was Ready and Won the Match

An Al-Gharafa player says Esteghlal entered the match prepared and made good use of its chances to win.

According to "Varzeh Se", Al-Gharafa experienced their second loss in the Asian Elite League by losing against Esteghlal, so that after two matches they are still scoreless. Aladdin, the player of this team, in a televised interview after the match, blamed himself and his teammates for this result.

He said about Al-Gharafa's performance in the first two matches of this competition: "In the first match against Al-Hilal, we performed well and played well, but luck was not on our side. Today we were given opportunities that we could not use. Esteghlal came prepared, entered the field to attack and took advantage of its positions. The responsibility for this defeat is on us players."

In response to a question about repeating the mistakes of Al Gharafa's previous match in the Qatar League and losing points again, Aladdin said: "That's right. Unfortunately, we have started the season in a way that fans do not expect from Al-Gharafa. Today we tried to win, correct the situation and get back on the right track, but it didn't happen. May God help us to get better results in the future."

The Al-Gharafa player once again emphasized the responsibility of the players and said: "Today the responsibility is with us players. "We wanted to win, make the fans happy and return Al-Gharafa to the path of victory and the position it is used to, but this is how fate came to be."
