PGL - 2016/2017 | Week 21 (Esteghlal vs. Perspolis) - Date/Time (+ LIVE REPORT)

[PersianLegion]

Which one do you think is a better coach Amir Ghalenoei or Majid Jalali?

Both are good traditional coaches to be honest. I like Majid Jalali more because he is a decent coach and gives the young players more opportunity to shine , Torabi is a product of his approach. But if you want to decide based on result and resume, Ghalenoi is a class above Jalali. He tends to rely on older players and solid veterans. Ghalenoi is not a gentleman and curses or threatens his players which is something that current players can not deal with so easy. Older generation of players were used to hearing insults because it would cause to play better!

Do you like to see Michael Laudrup as next Iran NT head coach or not?

No I don't want to see someone like Michael Laudrup as our next head coach. His resume is below average in big teams. He has had only good result with Lekhwiya which doesn't count for a NT like Iran. His brother and him are famous Danish legends but that's about it.

Attractive football is one thing and having results is something else. I am a big fan of attacking/attractive football but a winning ratio of bellow 40% is just not acceptable.

[DireStraits]

Taremi, Mahini (in summer) Ansari and Kamyabinia weren't TM players (Rezaeian wasn't a starter) when they joined Perspolis.

CQ invites some players train them and send them back to the league to upgrade the league. Except Rezaeyan none of the above players you mention are fix team meli player.
What you have to see today is Perspolis was analysed by esteghlal but the were stronger. Player by player Perspolis is stronger than esteghlal. Branko should be taken responsible for this loss

[irani8perspolis]

Very painful. Only positive is that today was a win for Iranian football, very exciting match.

[irani8perspolis]

If CQ has analysed Perspolis for Mansouryan CQ is >>than Branko.
If Mansouryan has done it CQ >>Mansouryan>>Branko. Branko is no longer usefull for Iran maybe for teams like Perpolis. He should go to Mes Kerman like his Boss Bladevic. Perspolis succes so far is because of the 7 TM player Perpolis has bought.

You judge this off one game. Branko is 100% a better manager than Mansourian. This is just one game and in football sometimes the best teams lose. This is basic, real madrid and barcelona also lose sometimes to teams worse than them. Does that mean Quique Satien (manager of Las Palmas) is better than Zidane because he beat Real Madrid once?

[DireStraits]

After only 1 loss?

They have lost two games plus Hazfi Cup. In the end GN is going to win the Hazfi Cup and end second in the IPL. If you count the money GN has done better than Branko.

Congratulations to Esteghlal on the win. It was well deserved.


I would like to speak about something. There was a time when I thought Rahmati could return to Team Melli, but watching what happened today proved I was wrong.

Mehdi Rahmati doesn't deserve to be ANYWHERE NEAR Team Melli. He is a sore loser. With that childish and insecure attitude of his, he hit the last nail on his international football career.

I feel disgusted that a player who's in his early 20s has to come and hold a veteran back like a parent would a child. Halam baham khord az in harkatesh. Chand saaleteh Rahmati? 5 saal? Boro baba, be darde Team Melli nemikhori. There is absolutely NO hope for Rahmati to ever return under Carlos Queiroz.

If you've watched Jalal Hosseini play football, and know the professional football player that he is you would know he would NEVER be involved that way with anyone like that unless somebody said something disrespectful.

Keep in mind this isn't a rant on being upset because we lost. We lost fair and square and I congratulate Esteghlal fans in PFDC and everywhere. It's Rahmati who I've lost respect for. A grown ass man (not even qualified as a veteran after the childish display) acting the way he did. Boro baba, fekre Team Melliro bezar kenar.

Shoma khodeto kharab kardi. Va baraye hamin hichvaght be Team Melli bar nemigardi.

[irani8perspolis]

Good game guys! You guys should do something about Taremi through! If he was more focused on actually scoring instead of constantly being busy diving and getting free-kicks and penalty kicks he would score twice the amount of goals that he scores in a season.

Congrats Amin. Hope that we finally are returning to the days where Esteghlal and Persepolis are constantly top of the league and battling for the title to the last day.

They have lost two games plus Hazfi Cup. In the end GN is going to win the Hazfi Cup and end second in the IPL. If you count the money GN has done better than Branko.

GN always do well, but judging by his ACL results, I think it has little to do with his skills as a coach!

[MR.ESTESNAII]

Yet again Taremi showed he is no TM material And Rafie deserves to start next TM game . Also this is allllllll Rahmatis fault! He always acts this immature. Yet another reason we see why CQ never wanted him again. CQ is the best damn thing that has happened to Iran football in a long time

If you really want to judge you should count the money. How much money have GN, Mansouryan and Branko received or used to buy players?
Branko has used 3 years to reach so far and how many players have they bought since then? GN have been in Traktor in shorter time but is winning Hazfi Cup and will end nr 2 in IPL. Mansouryan has never lost to Branko. He has won twice and tied once. Just in One year he is now nr 3 in ILP. How long do you think he would have reached if was in Iran 3 years?

This logic is laughable. Doesn't even deserve a response.

Take a took at both Tractor and SS in last summer break. SS spent twice of PP in summer transfer. That team was really intimidating if Mansourian knew how to play them and yet they got the worst SS results in many years in first season. Look at Ghalenoi's squad in first season. Tractor is packed with quality Sarbaz players without spending any money. Mansourian uses a park the bus and counter attack style against PP which works in this match but overall Branco has given better results in two consecutive seasons. PP is playing the best Iranian football since SS of 2012. Today if we had Kamyabinia we would not concede the first and second goals. You should look at bigger picture and not scope of one single match.

[Nokhodi]

Mosalman and Taremi got in a scuffle after the game because Mosalman wouldn't applaud the fans alongside the team. Moslaman has a real garbage attitude.
