Nikfar: Our strong point is not being in Asia/ Maybe Alves will return to Sepahan, maybe in 9 days!
The CEO of Sepahan announced Alvez's return to Sepahan subject to the announcement of the opinion of the Football Federation. The issue that ends the dispute over the return time of the Portuguese star.
According to the report of "Varzesh Se", Sepahan won the Isfahan derby and was able to score 3 points in this match and equal points with Esteghlal and Persepolis (with one game less). Manouchehr Nikfar, CEO of Talaiposhan, faced the reporters at the end of this game and said: I also thank Sepahan players. Anyway, they played a very good game. Especially in the first half, they played much better. In the second half, Zob Ahn players played with more motivation, but we thank God that Sepahan's victories continued and today we were able to get three valuable points.
Regarding the case of Ricardo Alves and the end of the suspension of this Portuguese star, he said: We asked FIFA and FIFA answered us that this is within the powers of the Football Federation. We also asked the status determination committee. I think they have given the answer and it will arrive in a few days. If they calculate the end date of the league, i.e. June 27, which was officially announced by the league organization, well, two months will fall from his suspension in the previous season. But if they take the end, that is, the beginning of the ban, from the first of this year, it will be almost four months, and I think the ban will end in December.
Regarding Sepahan's absence in Asian tournaments, he replied: We always like to play in Asia. This year, due to the reasons and circumstances, unfortunately we could not get that permission. Of course, if they had spent a little time and accompanied us, it might have been possible for us to attend. But we are not ungrateful. Maybe the part was that we are not here this year. We will do our best for the next years. On the other hand, with these restrictions that have happened now, of course we would have liked to be present. The conditions of racing have become very difficult and more pressure is placed on the players. Sepahan club has focused on the Premier League this year. In this sense, it is a strength that we are not in Asia this year. With the conditions that I saw, they change two or three countries to reach the place of the competition. But I hope that next year these shortcomings will be compensated and we will always be able to be present in Asia.
