IranMania- Last year, Teraktor Sazi Tabriz who had been on the verge of relegation from the 1st division into the 2nd, employed Mahmood Yavari for the new season and hoped to make up for its past failures. The team though were defeated at home by Zob Ahan Isfahan in their last game and they have descended to 11th place in the league table.

This most recent loss was the trigger for the fans of the home team in Tabriz to lose patience, became angry and scream vulgarities at the Teraktor Sazi coach, Yavari. Yavari spoke about the games, "At the start of the season we had three tough games with Pas, Perspolis and Esteghlal. Zob Ahan played really well against us too."

"We'll solve our problems gradually. The team possesses a few key players, but they must become more aware of tactics. With better play, I am sure we'll be placed in the middle of the table in future."

He also commented on the Tabriz events, "The fans do not realize that Teraktor Sazi is not the Asian champion but a team with few key players and few facilities. They only want us to win. Teams lose all over the world."

Yavari also recalled previous coaches of the team who were not successful and had been dismissed. He claimed they were making things difficult for him and the team. He also complained that politeness had been forgotten.
