I tell ourselves not to be tired / Shoja: Our legs have no life anymore!

At the press conference after the match against Shamal, Captain Traktor strongly protested the conditions of his team to play this match.

According to the report of Se Shojah Khalilzadeh, the captain of Tractor participated in the press conference after the Shamal game, and he, like the head coach of his team, protested against the conditions of the Paleshen.

At the beginning, he said: I tell both teams, especially our team, not to be tired. The conditions are unequal. After the heavy game against Esteghlal, we passed the 18-hour long journey without holding a training session. I was unable to play and we went to the field with only 20 minutes of practice. This condition is not compatible with the principles of fair play. After the 60th minute, our team lacked physicality. I request the Football Federation and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to help us. Because we cannot play in this situation. The legs of the players no longer have life to play. I'm not one to make excuses, but it's a very difficult situation for the players. In the dressing room, I see the conditions of the players and the team closely.

The tractor captain continued: "The conditions are so difficult that I don't know what we should criticize." Some teams travel by direct flight, but now we have to return to Tabriz after 20 hours and play an away game in three days. Under these conditions, we cannot talk about the technical issues of the game. Without practice, we have to go to Anzali and play. The conditions are unequal. We don't play in Tabriz and against our own fans, and we don't have good weather conditions. Everything was in favor of the Qatari team and we have no more life to play. Four, five of our best players are injured and we don't have 40% of the team. We need the help of the Football Federation. It is very difficult to continue with these conditions and this situation does not correspond to the principles of fair play.

Shoja explained about his talks with the team players: I always talk with the players and understand their physical conditions. I talk to them so that they are alert. Because a mistake in the Asian game can lead to a goal. We must be alert and focused and not give our opponents a chance. Our conditions were not good and if the game was held in Tabriz, we would have won by a margin. The conditions are unequal and AFC and FIFA must do something to respect the principles of fair play. Politics should be separated from football. They themselves say that politics is separate from football, but they are afraid. We were on our way for 20 hours and we have to travel the same way to return. This is not fair play.
