PLDC - Mehdi Hasheminasab, Esteghlal
striker, became the hero of the day when he scored for his team in the
50th minute and defeated the opponents with the score of 1-0, in the
Esteghlal of Tehran and Naftchi of Uzbekistan match in the Asian Super
Clubs Cup tournament (13/11/2002). He played as right wing striker after
some time of being on the bench.
After the match he said, “Thank God I scored for Esteghlal in this game.
We played an acceptable and nice match after some weeks of weak
performances but we could not use all our opportunities. We’ll play the
return game more at ease now.”
“I would like to be a fixed player in the team but this depends on the
coaches. I’ll do whatever they tell me. Being in the right wing is easier
than playing as defender, but it doesn’t matter as long I am useful to the
team. I have to get the coaches to notice me wherever I am. Even when I
was on the bench I respected the views of the coaches.”
