According to Varzesh3, Foolad , in their most sensitive match of week 10 of the Premier League in Tehran, at the home of Persepolis, were the guests of this team, and with a logical, well-planned performance over the 90 minutes they achieved a great victory. In this match Foolad gave Persepolis few scoring chances, and the most attacking team in the Premier League could not, as in their previous matches this season, create many goalscoring opportunities against their opponents. Also, as the match went on, Foolad's attacking section performed better and they came close to Persepolis's goal in the final minutes.
In the end, in circumstances where Persepolis were trying to open Foolad's goal, a fast, spectacular counter-attack by the visiting players settled everything and Foolad won this big game. Now Hamid Motahari has, for the second consecutive match in the space of nine months, experienced victory over his former team, and stands one step away from the top of the table.
A few weeks ago, at the press conference before Foolad's match against Nassaji Qaemshahr, Hamid Motahari used a new term called "Foolad Time", and this expression caught the attention of football fans. He claimed that Manchester United, during Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure, often scored in the final minutes, and for that reason rival teams always feared the Red Devils in the closing minutes. Now Foolad too have scored many times in the final moments of matches in recent months, and tonight this scenario was repeated against Persepolis.
A spectacular crossfield pass from Arshia Bagheri behind the penalty area reached Vahid Amiri, and Persepolis's former, highly decorated star finished the job with a ground shot into the corner of the goal. Interestingly, Hamid Motahari stressed at the press conference after the match against Malavan that the process of signing Vahid Amiri at the age of 38, and after a year away from the field and injured, had been done with calculation, and that he had not gone to Foolad without reason.
Thus, everything Hamid Motahari had said in his press conferences in recent weeks has now come true, and this 50-year-old head coach is experiencing the best moments of his coaching career. It must not be forgotten that Foolad lost several of their key players in the summer, but now they are just one point off the top of the table — and if it had not been for last week's bad luck against Nassaji in Ahvaz, perhaps they would now be celebrating top spot.
More than two decades in coaching and years on the bench as an assistant; Hamid Motahari has climbed the steps of success with patience, and at 50 has reached the peak of his coaching. In the second half of last season, Foolad were the best team in the Premier League , although this group faced a great misfortune and the league ended unfinished.
But in the new season, the team under Hamid Motahari's guidance has repeated last year's brilliant run, and now they have become one of the championship contenders in the Premier League . Despite the absence of stars such as Ramin Rezaeian, Mohammad Ghoreishi, Milad Sarlak and Amirhossein Joulani, this popular Khuzestan team produced the most difficult match of Persepolis's season, and Hamid Motahari delivered on what he had promised.
Hamid Motahari claimed yesterday that some people had been joking about this term and the word he used during this period; but now the time for joking about the term "Foolad Time" has come to an end, and they have truly become a frightening, terrifying team in the final minutes — and probably, in the rest of the season, Foolad's attacks in the closing minutes will have to be taken more seriously.
Just one defeat against Kheybar in these 18 matches, two wins over Persepolis, and unbeaten at home; now both the terms and the coaching ability of Hamid Motahari must truly be taken seriously — the new phenomenon of coaching in the Premier League , and a man who, at 50, is travelling this path at a dazzling speed.
