Persepolis’ meager performance upsets coach

MNA - Persepolis coach Afshin Ghotbi slammed his team performance after a draw against Bargh of Shiraz at the Azadi Stadium on Sunday.
“ Persepolis got so nervous in the match. My boys were disheveled and lost many good chances. Persepolis suffered from a lack of concentration that eventually cost them two vital points,” Afshin Ghotbi told a televised news conference.

He added, “ Persepolis was a lion-hearted team in the previous matches, but we looked cat-hearted against Bargh. The team was not well-organized in the second half and failed to defeat its rival.”

Persepolis will stay hopeful of securing championship in Iran’s Professional League(IPL), Ghotbi said.

The reds will play Saba Battery and Sepahan in their two remaining matches in Tehran.
