Persepolis will be crowned, Ghotbi says

MNA - Persepolis coach Afshin Ghotbi said on Thursday that the defending champion will be champion again with three important factors in mind, namely trust in God, knowledge and effort.

“Persepolis football team will collect 70 points in the current Iran’s Professional League (IPL) and defend its championship. We relied on God, knowledge and effort last season and I have no doubt Persepolis will be crowned again in the current season with reliance on these factors.” Said Ghotbi in the Persepolis news conference held in Tehran’s Rayzan International Conference Center.

“Persepolis players are brave and ready to encounter the challenges. Persepolis’ manager, technical and medicine board and players fully understand football. The combination of two these factors will ultimately drive us to the championship,” he added.
