AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2020

No conspiracy. Individual mistakes. We had the game.

I can't believe we topped off the idiotic mistake TM had versus Japan where they stopped playing in the middle of the game, by giving not one, but two STUPID penalties, the second one being probably the most stupid mistake I have seen so far from an Iranian player.

You are a PROFESSIONAL footballer, and you jump in the air with your arm raised as high as it can go and you flick the ball.... with VAR present ... WTF ARE YOU DOING?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TM4LIFE]

Golmohammadi is the only positive I see from this whole campaign. For once a domestic coach with good modern tactics and adaptability. Hope he can learn from this any next time he coaches a team hire a psychologist for the players or something

^ hey people, what happened to our VAR decision??? it was a clear penalty but the referee did not even look at it. So I suggest you to "BE QUIET". There is a valid "Conspiracy Theory", so shut up and be fair.

No conspiracy. Individual mistakes. We had the game.

definitely. But the two non calls on PKs for us were also quite bizarre. Both even according to aussie commentary were total PKs.

[Hosseini]

KC is an SS fan, looking at the messages of many SS fans on the youtube chats, they were supporting Ulsan.
My logic even if you are an SS fan, the trickle down of PP winning is good for iranian football in general.

We're all Iranian and when it comes our country against an international club/opponent should be supporting our own no matter what

[BusiG]

Totally disagree! Finals of tournaments are often of lower quality.

Of course sometimes they are...but really? Both of these Teams would be eaten alive by any Champions League Team from Europe........These two Teams played no where near Euro League Level! Im also watching a lot of 2nd Bundesliga Matches....theres NO WAY Ulsan or PP would beat any of the Teams from 2nd Bundesliga in a competetive Match after what ive seen in this AFC Final!

[Ali Doust]

By far the easiest competition we have had in the Finals and still we blew it.

[Mahsaa]

The first one was a 100% penalty for PErspolis, and tv didnt show it again !!!! Only 1 time, so sad

Uhh... there is always next year guys

The thing that annoys me is that Ulsan wasn't even that good in the second half. Like if PP had Pahlevan and Amiri, we could have won that.

Unbelievable handball. Never have seen a player make a mistake like that.

Yahya had the right tactics but failed with his subs. Shojaie should have been on at least 10 minutes earlier when Alisha was burnt out.

Overall, not a complete failure as the game was lost because of a brain-fart, but we could have won that.

[Hosseini]

And here come the conspiracy theories about how the ref somehow is the reason they lost. Reality check: Persepolis shot themselves in the foot this game and have nobody to blame but themselves. Besides, at a glance their penalty claims were soft at best. Nourollahi was dragging the shirt of his defender as he went down, practically pulled the defender down on himself. Second incident you could make an argument that the defender got the ball with very little contact with the forward.

If anything needs to change it’s this ‘injustice’ mentality in game where our players toss themselves around and then CONSTANTLY come sprinting to referees asking for calls I mean especially when I see someone like kanani do it who cost us the game against Japan, it makes my blood boil.

I'm happy to concede when the ref had no impact... but this game was not one of them. First one he was dragged down bro

[Ostad_Goosfand]

There was one sequence in the second half we didn’t get a replay of. I think ramezani or someone had the ball and there was a WIDE OPEN layoff to the right that could have been buried for a 90% goal. Anyone remember that?

[DR Strangemoosh]

Im very impressed with yahya. Every game he got his tactics spot on. Every game he dealt with many problems. Each time he responded. Today, missing 4 key guys, was no different.

I think he will become future TM coach. He is so calm, and never loses his capacity to THINK. Unlike some of his players.

He is certainly future TM coach material. Even our best man manager coaches struggle with exorcising the elements that we saw in the second half - wasting time flapping hands at each other, crowding the ref etc.... It's understandable in the context of the recent history of the country I think. Was good to have heads like Seyed Jalal around.

Queiroz did well to get a world class sports psychologist, even that didn't help us against Japan...
