Daei: Saipa more hopeful than ever

PTV - Karaj's Saipa coach, Ali Daei, has said his team collected another three points as the players played reasonably against Anzali's Malavan.

In a press conference after Saipa's victory on Friday, Daei said, "I accept we did not start this season well enough and we could not satisfy the fans, but we become better after each match."

"I am very pleased that my team could defend his rights and defeat its rival in its own ground," added Daei.

He concluded that Saipa was more hopeful than ever and that it could now play other teams with great motivation.

Saipa won the championship of Iran's Persian League last season with Ali Daei both as coach and as player.
