Al-Gharafa Scorer: We Were Unlucky Against Esteghlal

Farjani Sasi believes Al-Gharafa put on a good performance despite losing to Esteghlal and, by earning their first win, could get out of the current situation.

According to "Varzeh Se", after the defeat against Al-Hilal, Al-Gharafa did not get any points against Esteghlal to leave the first two weeks of the Asian Elite League empty-handed. Farjani Sassi, the Tunisian midfielder of this team, emphasized in a television interview after the match that the results of Al Gharafa do not reflect the quality of this team's games.

"It is true that our points are zero, but this statistic does not show our performance," said Sassi about the second defeat of Al-Gharafa. I think we played a very good game and had a lot of chances, but that's football. We are trying and looking for results, but we are at a point where luck is not on our side."

He continued: "We have to continue our work and each of us try to improve and avoid mistakes. God willing, with the first victory, Al-Gharafa will return to its path. I trust my teammates and I am sure we will rise again."

In response to the question of whether the only reason for his team's lack of results is bad luck, midfielder Al-Gharafa explained: "There is bad luck, but we also have some lack of concentration. This is football. "The team that is more focused and makes less mistakes wins."

In the end, Sassi acknowledged the responsibility of the current situation to all the team members and said: "I always say that we all have to accept the responsibility. Each of us should try to do our best and I am at the head of this matter. I have to play better and help the team more. I trust this group. We are all united, we stand by each other and return to God's will."
