Ebrahimi object to Ivancovic as coach

PLDC - Naser Ebrahimi, old hand of Persepolis, is not happy with the National Team goings-on and has begun to voice strong objections to the head coach, Ivancovic.
He also spoke about his own club and matters there in a recent interview, “Ansarian (with broken nose after recent match) has to stop complaining that he was alone when he broke his nose and mustn’t make an issue of it. Where else in the world does everyone in the club accompany an injured player? Usually it is the responsibility of the team physician.”

“Although he wished us to visit him, we had other things to do. If he had broken an arm or a leg we would have done so. He has now been resting for three days at home. When ladies operate on their noses do they stay in bed for 6 days (laughs)?”

“We have nothing to say about who will be the captain of the team. The man who has played the most games in Persepolis and the National Team will have the captain’s armband. It is that simple.”

“The National Team did not play badly in the LG tournament. They are the same as they were during the time of Blazevic, sometimes good, sometimes bad. The National Team must act in a uniform manner. I must say that behind the scenes in the National Team something is making problems for them. This will spread to us in the future too. This new phenomenon is called ‘Player archy (players having control in a club)’. Where has it come from? We never had it before now. Now the players may attend practice sessions if they like and they may make decisions within the club, etc.”

“Look at the case of Ali Daie and Ali Karimi. They wanted Daei to play so they crossed out Karimi. They could have used both together. Daei may be great but he will be useful only for another 3 or 4 years and then step aside. We can use Karimi for longer. Ivancovic did not make the right decision about this. I believe that he should be dismissed. They should have done this when Farahani (ex IFF head) resigned. They should do it now if they want us to win. He cannot do anything for us.”
