PERSEPOLIS VS AL HILAL (ACL-SEMI FINAL)(LIVE REPORT)

[persian_pooya]

That was a horrible performance. The main issue was the Persepolis players weren't winning any of the 50/50 balls. They just didn't look like they wanted to compete today, either that or they've been overworked and didn't have legs.

Man what an embarrassing performance by Branko and persepolis. It is over. I hope Branko and PP fans and club don't cause a fight with Carlos and let the man have a proper training camp ahead of the friendlies in October.

Branko is nothing but a fraud. Carlos is a million times a better coach than him.

lets not start this again. PP were simply out of their depth and missing their 4 key players ( Jalal, Ansari, Taremi, Kamyabinia ) and had mediocre replacements. They played far too open , but lets face it, hilal just were better player for player. PP needed luck and everybody to play spectacular to win today, and that didnt happen. They have been great this year in ACL, but I think they should have parked the bus today, ofc hindight is 20/20 .

Branko is still by far the best coach PP could wish for and he has done very well considering the resources of PP in comparision with all the other asian teams

i hope so, little we gona know he gona come in press and say we are the barcelona of asia and we can come back from 4-0 we need our players, i mean nothing is over till is finally over ,but i dont see them winning and not conceding, no taremi also is a problem, if we were playing in azadi maybe, but is oman i dont like our chances

I do not think it is fair to compare the results of Teame Melli to those of our clubs. It is comparing apples and oranges. Al Hilal and the Chinese clubs have the advantage of signing quality international players which do contribute immensely to their success.

Perspolis came to this game with a defeated attitude.

The Iraqi player Rasan did play with purpose. It is a true shame that Branko starts Moslehi instead of him.

I guess you mean Mosalman, Mosleh is LB.

Brankos strategy for defense, traditionally was and is non existent, and his stubbornness is atrocious, He got a good slap today from a much better coach! I really hope he learned is lesson because losing the idiot Taremi and not psychologically or tactically preparing the team will be his downfall and this is where he needs to learn a thing or two from CQ and start respecting him!....

The two biggest clubs in Iran got annihilated by the two biggest clubs in UAE and Saudi Arabia.

6-1 and 4-0, for a total of 10-1.

And you're still talking about Iranian pride?

This is why none of these local players barely make it to the starting line up of TM.

This is a slap in the face of all those critics who said, "CQ doesn't watch the league".

Exactly.

This is why I laugh at people who suggest players should go back to PGL.

PGL is a fucking joke.

And our big teams constantly struggle to find any sort of consistency.

And it's why I'm glad that a lot of Iranian players have realized that the only way to improve themselves is by challenging themselves in a better league.

Today's loss has nothing to do with financial support

it was a much better quality team who dominated us for 90 mins period .

[ehsan singapore]

This is crazy!!! how can a whole team collapse when a player gets banned????

is meantle issue, we dont have psychologies for teams and our players cant handle pressure, one reason why tm is successful is because CQ is excellent at mind games, and team feel they are already losing for Min 1. branko could not motivate the players, and the taremi issue made things 10 times worse. i knew we were going to struggle because iranian teams cant handle pressure, leaving aside the gap in our clubs and infrusture and buying players aside, that a whole new story for another time

I feel bad for all Perspolis fans here on PFDC but I just want to say that Branko needs to shut his filthy mouth for the next few months and never attack CQ anymore. Also I hope that now the Perspolis fanatics in Iran woke up and stop worship Branko. This guy is just slightly better than our vatani coaches and that's it! CQ >>>>>>>> Branko

Regarding Beiranvand we need to ask ourselves truthfully if the goals were really his fault? IMO he wasn't at fault for all the goals coneded but he showed us that he is nothing more than an average goalkeeper. For the WC we need a goalkeeper which can save our ass like Haghighi in 2014, someone like Abedzadeh, Rahmati or Roudbarian did in the past. We don't have this kind of goalies anymore.

Also I don't agree with people saying that Perspolis lost because of no financial support. That might be true but this can't be the only reason to lose against 10 men with 4-0 !!!
Branko is the only one to blame here for. That was just an embarrassing performance and I hope he gets humble now.

[TM4LIFE]

This Persepolis squad is one of the most bi-orzeh teams I have watched in a long time. What use is Beiranvand between the posts? When has he ever showed up or even made a half-decent save? TM will be slapped around in the world cup if we keep him as a starter. That PP defense was just atrocious, i swear I haven't been so infuriated by such a lack-luster performance in a long time. Why work so hard to make it to the semis just to shit it down the drain with this toothless display. 40 minutes against 10-men and not even an away goal to show for it, good riddance. I hope none of these losers get even a minute of playing time in the world cup so it is a wake-up call for our domestic league to get it together.

[Persian-Pride87]

I agree, our GK situation is frightening. But I am optimistic on TM. We have seen concrete and tangible improvements for TM under CQ. His plans and methodology is clearly working so have faith!

One can hope that TM doesn't end up with the same outcome as PP did today. Our GK situation is a mess and needs attention ASAP. Berianvand should not be our main GK. I don't understand what outcome we need for our coaching staff to realize that.
