According to "Varzesh3", Ghasem Shahba said at the press conference after Mes Shahr-e Babak's heavy 4-0 defeat to Sepahan: I congratulate the good and respectable Sepahan team. We went down to 10 men at the start of the match and could not continue the game according to our intended tactics. When you face Sepahan for 85 minutes with a man less, you have a very hard task, and after the goal we could not make up the result.

He continued: Unfortunately, in three matches against Foolad, Persepolis and Sepahan we were reduced to 10 men, which made our task difficult, and I hope in the future the best things happen for Mes Shahr-e Babak.

The Mes Shahr-e Babak head coach added: Unfortunately we had 5 injured players and one suspended, and today we were again reduced to 10 men, which made our task difficult. We hope the injured return as soon as possible and the team's players work more experiencedly so we do not give away sendings-off.

Shahba continued: We have a quality team and players, and we showed that in past matches too, but unfortunately some incidents and sendings-off have afflicted Mes Shahr-e Babak, and I hope this bad luck moves away from our team.

Regarding the effect of the absence of 6 players against Sepahan, he said: This is certainly problematic, because the players we signed and the ones who were supposed to help us all got injured, and that is why our task became difficult. I have lived with the people of Shahr-e Babak, and last year we had a dreamy period in this city alongside its people, whose team also won promotion to the Premier League Great excitement and vitality has been created in Shahr-e Babak.
