Two Flights Later: Tractor Finally Makes It Home!

The Tractor caravan arrived in Tabriz today after a difficult journey to Oman and its return via Istanbul.

According to "Varzesh Se", the long journey of Javad Nekonam's students to attend the match against Al Shamal of Qatar has finally ended and the members of this team arrived in Tabriz at 14:00 today, Tuesday, 21 October, on a Zenozi private plane flight from Istanbul.

Immediately after the last night's meeting in Amman, the tractors had taken a flight to Istanbul and after stopping at the airport of this city, they continued on the way back to Tabriz. In this way, the end of the Asian race for tractor players was accompanied by the beginning of another journey.

The team members had also experienced many transfers along the way. The tractor convoy left Tabriz for Najaf on the morning of Saturday, October 18, traveled the route from Najaf to Baghdad by bus, and then arrived in Muscat by flight. According to Hojjat Karimi, the route took away the players' opportunity to rest and prepare properly.

Fatigue caused by this commuting was one of the main topics of Nekunam and Shoja Khalilzadeh's talks after the goalless draw against Shamal. The head coach and the captain of Traktor complained about the impact of travel pressure on the physical strength of the players, referring to the limited training opportunities.

Now Tractor has returned to Tabriz in a situation where the league organization has agreed to postpone the team's match against Melvan in the ninth week. A decision that gives more time for rest and recovery to the Reds, and the CEO of the club has also thanked the league organization for it.
