Defeat in the ACL final will not stop Us - Golmohammadi
This was Persepolis' second defeat in the ACL final in three years.
Persepolis head coach Yahya Golmohammadi stressed that he would not allow the second defeat in the ACL final to become an obstacle for Persepolis in the coming seasons.
Persepolis reached the ACL final for the second time in three years and lost the match for the second time. The Reds went against Ulsan Hyundai. In the absence of several of their leading players, such as Issa Alekasir , Ehsan Pahlavan, and Vahid Amiri, they could not have a good performance, and their goal was opened with two penalties. Now Golmohammadi, while apologizing to the supporters of Persepolis, emphasized that he will not allow this defeat to become an obstacle on the way to Persepolis.
The Iranian coach told reporters:
“Having replacement players is important; today, we did not have many options to come off the bench. The players we missed today like Amiri and Pahlevan had an impact and we could not replace them,” he said.
“It is very difficult. There will be difficult days ahead of us, but this is football. It would be unprofessional if this result becomes an obstacle in our way.
“We have to start our mental and psychological recovery from tomorrow and be ready to go again for the 2021 Asian Champions League and the Iran Pro League.”
“We lost the match the moment we lost our concentration.
“We made sure we did not concede goals in any way, but we gave them two easy chances to score.
“I am really sad and I want to apologise to all the fans of Persepolis for our shortcomings. The players fought until the end, but we could not win.”
