According to Varzesh3, in a few minutes we will witness the start of the most crucial match of the tenth week, between Persepolis and Foolad; the table toppers, in the Premier League hosted fifth-placed Foolad at home in recent weeks, and Persepolis has no choice but to win this match to consolidate its place at the top. On the other side, Foolad, which has been on an upward trend in recent weeks, will be looking to take points from this difficult match, and everything points to the likelihood of an attractive, high-scoring match between the two teams.

But one interesting point of this match is the presence of several former Persepolis players in Foolad's starting lineup. Hamed Lak, Persepolis's former goalkeeper and the team's keeper on its run to the Champions League final in 2020, has been in Foolad's lineup for the third consecutive season and is in goal for the team today as well. Before the start of the match, Hamed Lak was strongly cheered by Persepolis fans, and the goalkeeper went toward them and, bowing toward the Persepolis supporters, thanked them.

But moments later it was Vahid Amiri's turn; the decorated 38-year-old Persepolis star, who is hugely popular among the team's fans, was also cheered by them, and Vahid Amiri went toward the Persepolis fans' stand and thanked them for it. Moments later we heard Farshad Ahmadzadeh's name being called in the stadium; Branko's popular player and Persepolis's former number 10 also responded positively to the Persepolis fans' show of affection and went toward them.

Interestingly, on Foolad's bench there are also Hamid Motahari and Reza Norouzi, as head coach and assistant, both of whom played in Persepolis's lineup in two different decades. Milad Sarlak, another former Persepolis number 10, is also in Foolad's squad for the new season, but he suffered an injury a few days ago and missed this crucial and important match. In any case, and unlike many Premier League matches, here the former Persepolis players were strongly cheered by the team's fans and, of course, reciprocated the gesture.
