Iran Professional League (IPL) leaders will host 5th-placed Saba Battery in the 23rd week of the IPL on Friday.
Ghalenoei said, “We are getting close to the end of the current season week by week, therefore the situation gets harder. We mustn’t make any mistakes in the upcoming matches.”
“Saba is a good team which has made an effort to go up in the IPL standings. Of course we analyzed them in the past days. We will stop Saba midfielders in this game,” he added.
Paying tribute to Saba coach Firuz Karimi, Ghalenoei said, “Our contests have always been spectacular and I hope this time it will be so. I would like the better team to win the match,” Ghalenoei stated.
Esteghlal leads the table with 43 points and is eight points clear of Saba.
