PLDC - In the Elimination Cup tournament Persepolis faced Malavan Anzali on
Saturday, 30/11/2002 and defeated the club with the score of 2-0 and has qualified for the next round. After the match, Ali Parvin, head coach
of Persepolis, commented on the results of the match and his team, “We had said that the team will gradually improve. I am satisfied with the
boys despite the fact that we had 4 injured players after the match with Abu Moslem.”
“Malavan is a young team with prospects and a good future. Rafaat made a bad move when he physically attacked the opponents and was correctly
sent off during the match. He should not have shown any reaction to
what the Malavan players had said. He has made a mistake and we will also punish him.”
“I am also very happy about Rezazadeh (Iranian weightlifter) getting the three gold medals. He is our pride and joy.”
