PLDC - Esfahan, After equalizing the match against Mes Kerman, the head coach of Sepahan reacted severely against one of the team's strikers, Arash Afshin, and said: “Afshin has always used his supposed injury as an excuse not to attend practice, but afterwards he wanted to be present in the main line-up of the team.”

By stating that Afshin was not able to play properly against Zob Ahan, he added, “In this match, Arash was not able to obey my instructions and was not in a good form.”

By saying that Afshin dissembled his ankle injury, Kranjcar asserted that, “He touched his ankle from the beginning of the week and used to say that he was injured, while he was not. I knew that he was not able to be qualified as I desired, therefore, he pretended that he was injured, but it was not true. Anyhow, every unrealistic player feels that it is his right to play, while this is not justifiable.”

The head coach of Sepahan also added that, “We will not change the composition of a winning team. We have to improve the shape of the players during this holiday to return to our championship path.”
