TEHRAN DERBY : ESTEGHLAL TEHRAN VS PERSEPOLIS (NEWS, LIVE REPORT)

[Amin_]

I think people complaining about Beyranvand are generally concerned about his somewhat shaky form, not only the derby match where he was not all that bad and indeed had one good save on the 1vs1 with Thiam.

Great: Some fans went to today's training session and insulted the players, amongst them Rabikhah. Very supportive of a team that is champions with 5 games to go.

It's one thing to be critical of the team, but insulting them shows their low character.

I have said and witnessed this before, but for some fans the result in the derby is even more important than the championship title.

I'm sure that if you'd ask the following question to some fans:
"Would you rather win both derbies and finish as runner-up in the league, or lose both derbies and win the title?"

A lot of them would choose winning the derbies and finishing 2nd or 3rd in the league.

Schafer: “Omid Ebrahimi is currently the best player in Iranian football”

The moment where Thiam went on a 1 vs. 1 with Beiranvand was a copy of the 2nd Syrian goal in Azadi, but this time Beiranvand saved it. Strange

Some of these fans are pure animals. I was looking at Oceano Cruz's Instagram the other day and I saw racial and disgusting comments left by fans. It makes me ashamed to know these are Iranians doing this crap.

I'm really liking Cheshmi btw, ever since he was back from his injury he is regaining his old form and has become a great CB now. We should try starting him as CB with TM along with PAG in couple of friendlies so they get some chemistry together, perhaps he could surprise and get into the starting 11 for the WC

cheshmi is a great "pa be toop" defensive player somewat like yahya gol mohammadi or sohrab bakhtiarizadeh. i think he is better as a DM but he can play a decent CB too except for his once in a while mental lapses. his fighting spirit and leadership qualities makes him a great asset to the team. he is only 24 years old, with more experience he has the qualities to become a great player.

right now, we have a lot of quality DMs and strikers which is good for Queiroz.

I only blame Branko for our loss in the derby not any of the players

What the heck? What could possibly be their beef with Cruz? Our people are just getting worse and worse!

Quite shocking I wouldn’t even put him in my top 3 but Schafer does have a respectable level of experience and an overall trust worthy eye for talent. If he says so I don’t doubt him but I can easily think of 3-5 players I’d rate higher.

[Leicester City]

AZ should get Cheshmi

AZ should get Cheshmi

He'd easily be their best CB lol

Congratz to Esteghlal. Let's be honest, that was a well-deserved win and there is no discussion. One of the few derby losses where I fully have to admit this. I believe only the coaches made the difference here. If Schäfer had been coaching SS from the beginning they would be fighting toe to toe with Perspolis and most probably would have become champions, knowing how Branko sucks under pressrue.

The team was absolutely clueless and the players looked really frustrated. Alipour shooting out of nowhere, Moharrami randomly starting to dribble in the defence, Mahini with shitty crosses, so many turnovers.... We only had 2 real goal opportunities. Khalilzadeh with a sitter and Hosseini who could have scored, similar to that derby of last season, if it wasn't for fucking Beiranvand pushing how away on that header. My God, this guy always looks soorakh even in his good days. I had take a clubless Haghighi over him any day. Beiranvand has no passion or gheyrat in him.

That being said, I think if Mosalman, Moharrami, Nourhollahi and Mensha would have started instead of likes of Rabikhah, Rasan or shitty Ahmadzadeh (who is most probably paying some fine ass money to get playing time) we wouldn't have lost for sure. Branko came up with some horrible starting line up and it felt like we are playing with our B team. So gutless and arrogant, he wasnt interested in winning this derby.

Perspolis will become champions and will advance in the ACL Group, just to concede a horrible loss again in the next stages. Same shit as last year. There is no improvement under Branko. Next year, with SS being coached by Schäfer, and maybe other teams like Sepahan being revived, Branko will be fully exposed.

I agree with Nariman in all points. Plus me as a diehard Perspolis fan have to admit that with Schäfer Esteghlal become a much more likeable team then Perspolis with Branko.
