They Want to Divert the Discussion; Gohari: Mr. Qazi! I Have a Witness

The goalkeeper of the oil industry responded to the claims made against him in recent days.

According to "Varzesh Seh", Ahmad Gohri made controversial statements after the match of the eighth week of the Premier League against Persepolis and his former team, which was held at Shahr Quds Martyrs' Stadium, and although he did not mention the name of a specific person, it was clear that he addressed Saeed Dahiki to his words and referred to the events of last year in Pikan.

Gohari's controversial statements were quickly followed by the reaction of Saeed Taqihi, and while denying the statements made by his former student in Pikan, he announced that he would complain about this goalie, and of course, Ibrahim Mirzapour, Taqihi's assistant in the previous season, also spoke against Gohari, which has now been followed by his response.

Gohri, in an interview with "Varzesh Se", in response to the words of Mirzapour, who said that the goalkeeper had a physical problem and he himself announced this at the beginning of his training with the car manufacturers, said: "It is clear that when they did not find anything, they resorted to lying and lying to escape." I said something that was very clear and clear and many Pikan players can testify about it, but now it is not clear why this assistant diverts the discussion and wants to change the mind of the football community. Although they may have physical problems themselves, I have no problems with being in the Premier League for more than a decade.

He continued: The statements that were made about me recently needed a clear and documented answer, not that they want to raise false issues. However, their goals are clear and they have no other way than to change the discussion to exonerate themselves.

The former goalkeeper of Persepolis and now Sanat Naft added: Criticizing is the right of everyone, but questioning the professional path, sports records and qualifications of a player, without providing valid documents, is not an issue that can be easily ignored, and I will surely follow up on this matter seriously so that they don't slander football so easily anymore.

Stating that he has been a serious critic of Pikan's head coach and his superiors at various times, Gohri said: "It is interesting that after many years, they are still raising questions about the selection of the goalkeeper of the national team in the past." However, it should be clarified whether it is possible to ignore years of effort, competition and professional performance of a player by simply raising questions and repeating doubts.

He continued: I have been active in the Premier League for about 11 to 12 years and I have traveled the path of national football from the basic levels, including under 17. I have reached the national team in different periods relying on my efforts, performance and merits, a path that was the result of years of training, competition and participation in the highest level of the country's football, and this record is a professional fact that cannot be questioned with personal comments.

The goalkeeper of Sanat Naft and Pikan last season recalled: After 15 to 16 years, today we are faced with comments as if the announcer has been placed in the position of the final authority for diagnosis about football, the performance of goalkeepers and even the technical details of this discipline. If all the coaches, players and decision-makers of that era are supposed to be wrong and only one person considers himself to have a definitive opinion, naturally one should ask what is the basis of these claims.

Gohari continued: I and a number of other players who consider the statements made to be followed up, we are ready to pursue the issue through legal channels. Even if the discussion is taken to the court, I welcome it and have a witness. This position is not due to personal confrontation, but to defend professional credibility, sports records and the necessity of respecting responsibility in expressing public content.

He reminded: If a claim is raised, it must be documented and defensible, and if the professional reputation of people is damaged, the right to pursue legal action is reserved.

The goalkeeper of Pikan last season, who was also invited to the national team last year, says: "If I had a problem, how could the managers of Pikan club sign a contract with me? Ifmark has confirmed my full health and fitness in recent years, and on the other hand, I was invited to the national team?" You want to question everyone just to divert the discussion?

Gohari recalled: I did not mention anyone's name at all and only raised a discussion. I said that the head coach of the previous season thought that this had happened to our team, not that he himself had done such a thing.

In response to whether this will affect him or not, this goalkeeper said: It does not have a negative effect at all.

I felt the need to bring up those conversations and it was time to say a series of issues, and of course I controlled myself not to say more than that, otherwise there were many conversations.

Gohari emphasized: I have put all my focus to have the best performance for the oil industry and to make the people of Sharif Abadan happy. I have entrusted the raised issues to my lawyer, and I myself have completely focused on the team and training, and I only did these talks so that football fans would understand who is looking to change their minds and change the discussion and is planning to make false accusations.
