According to Varzesh3, the first half of the sensitive match between Persepolis and Foolad in week 10 of the new season of the Premier League, ended in a goalless draw. Although the team led by Mehdi Tartar had more possession than its yellow-clad opponent, unlike its matches this season they were not very successful in creating scoring chances, and this low-excitement match ended goalless in the first half.

But one conspicuous point in Persepolis's style of play this season is this team's high pressing and the tremendous effort of the players on the pitch to win the ball back immediately after the opponent's possession. In the first half of the match against Foolad, Persepolis several times forced the opposing players, including Hamed Lak, this team's goalkeeper, into mistakes or hurried passes. In fact, Persepolis obtained almost every chance it had through this very route. Once, Pouria Pourali's shot on Hamed Lak's misplaced pass went out narrowly wide of the goal.

Also, minutes later, Vahid Amiri, behind his own team's penalty area and under Persepolis players' intense pressing, made a mistake and again the host team gained a scoring chance. It seems Mehdi Tartar has in the new season placed this tactic on the agenda as his most important demand from Persepolis players, and Persepolis's stars put the opposing team's players under pressure as much as possible — a matter that was evident in today's Persepolis match against Foolad in the first half, and they succeeded several times in taking the ball back from the opponent.
