Halali, “Out of Tehran teams not well off”

PLDC - Esmaiel Halali, Sanat Naft of Abadan new addition, is very prepared and commented about his team and various matters in a recent press interview, “I am training well and doing everything to synchronize myself with the rest of the team. I now understand how badly off and without facilities the out of Tehran teams are. For someone who has played in Tehran, playing in other towns is not easy.”

“We do not have a sports complex or even a bodybuilding club here to go and practice there regularly every morning. There are many problems and the facilities are too slight to be even considered. We have no other 
choice but to save the face of our team in any way possible.”

“It is unfortunate that we are up against tough teams like Sepahan and Esteghlal in the first weeks of the Professional League. The match against Esteghlal (week two) will be very tough. We needed one or two easy 
games at first to get us ready for the other weeks. Some of our players have no experience of the Professional League, but there is nothing we can do about it. We’ll face Esteghlal with our full power and keep face.”
