There are only 180 minutes left until the end of the season and we have a very tough match against Esteghlal, but my players are ready to fight until the end to win the title,\u201d Oliviera told the reporters in a pre-match press conference on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSepahan and Naft are our rivals in the race for the title, but they have much easier games so they are in the better positions. We have such problems that you won\u2019t see in any other team in the world. We have three players in the same post while there is no left back in our squad,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Oliviera then spoke about his team\u2019s elimination from AFC Champions League and stated that there is a huge gap of budget between Iranian and Arabic teams. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t qualify from our group in the AFC Champions League but look at the other teams. Arabic teams spend more than triple of us and you can\u2019t compare their facilities with Iranian teams,\u201d the Portuguese coach added. <\/p>\n<p>Iran Pro League leader Tractor Sazi will take on Esteghlal while its nearest rival Naft will play Saba at home. <\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, third-placed Sepahan will take on relegation-threatened Naft Masjed Soleyman. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran Times &#8211; TEHRAN, Tractor Sazi coach Toni Oliviera says his team will go to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":21441,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,136],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iran-first-division"],"views":1279,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
