According to "Varzesh Se", Esteghlal gave a good performance in the match against Al-Gharafa, relying on the ability of its players, a team that, despite the closed transfer window, was able to make good use of its assets and get acceptable results by relying on young players.

Hadi Tabatabai, a veteran of Esteghlal who appeared as an expert in the TV show, while praising the technical performance of the Blues, talked about the conditions of this team for the rest of the season. He believes that Esteghlal has performed well so far despite the shortcomings that it may face in the continuation of the tournament, although it needs to strengthen some positions to continue.

Tabatabai also took a position regarding the mention of Alireza Biranvand's name to attend Esteghlal and, referring to the performance of Habib Farabbasi, emphasized that the Blues need a suitable reserve goalkeeper, not necessarily a change of the first team goalkeeper.

* You can read the details of his conversation below:

* Do you think Esteghlal has faced a shortage of players due to the club's transfer window being closed?

According to the conditions of the club and the closed transfer window, Esteghlal has been able to use its capacities well. The capacities of the team are these young players who have performed well in the senior team. However, the erosion of the Premier League and the Asian Elite League, as well as the possibility of player injuries, may cause the team to face shortages in some positions. The technical staff should think of a solution for this issue so that Esteghlal does not face problems in the future in terms of the number of players.

* In what positions does Esteghlal need to be strengthened?

Esteghlal plays aggressive football, and along the way, it needs players who can be added to the team in the attack line. In addition, Esteghlal needs a player in the midfield who has the ability to feed the attackers and create opportunities for them.

* What about the goal line? Considering the mention of Alireza Biranvand, Esteghlal needs a new goalkeeper?

Far Abbasi has performed well, but this does not mean that Esteghlal should not think about recruiting a second goalkeeper. Anything can happen to the team's number one goalkeeper, and for that reason, Esteghlal must have a good substitute goalkeeper to protect the team's goal if needed. Alireza Biranvand's name is also mentioned these days, but I don't know why Biranvand should come to Esteghlal, when Farabbasi has performed well as the first goalkeeper? Esteghlal only needs to recruit a second goalkeeper.

* How do you evaluate the performance of the technical staff of Esteghlal and Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh?

Esteghlal's technical staff has performed very well so far and managed the team well. One of the characteristics of a good coach is the ability to manage the team and make the right decisions in critical situations; Decisions that ultimately benefit the team. Bakhtiarizadeh has such characteristics. In addition to the technical management of the team, he has also performed well in dealing with the sidelines. Meanwhile, Esteghlal faced different conditions during Sapinto's time and there was more focus on marginal issues. Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh focused on technical issues and this helped Esteghlal to achieve good results. When a coach spends his energy on peripheral issues, he may struggle in other areas, including technical issues.

*What factor made Esteghlal perform well despite many problems?

Our football can achieve good results even under forced conditions. Of course, this is not the first time that an Iranian team gets a result under such conditions. Previously, teammates have been able to perform well despite their deficiencies and even reach the finals of Asia. Esteghlal has young players who have been able to cover the team's deficiencies. The closing of the transfer window forced Esteghlal to use young players and they have performed fairly well.

* Do you think Persian Gulf Holding has done its job well as the owner of the club?

Holding has done its job well so far. The most important task of the club owner is to provide the financial resources of the team, and Persian Gulf Holding has also performed well in this field. It has also taken the necessary measures to attract the required players.
