To be honest, I do not like him. He is a very arrogant and he thinks he is better than everyone. I worked with him at Aluminum Hormozgan and he was very disrespectful towards me,\u201d Zayed told in an exclusive interview with Tehran Times. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMazloumi still has a big problem that I scored a hat trick in the derby against him that probably got him fired in 2012. Anyway, I don&#8217;t want to talk about this man any more because words are cheap, actions mean everything,\u201d the 31-year-old striker added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to the Persepolis fans: I miss you, and Inshallah, I can have the honor of playing for you again,\u201d Malaysia\u2019s Sabah striker added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersepolis needs a striker who can score more than 15 goals during a season. They badly need a goalscorer! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have signed many strikers since I left but not one of them could score more than 10 goals in one season. This is a big problem! If Persepolis wants to challenge for the championship they need a goalscorer who can score more than 15 goals in the league in one season,\u201d Zayed added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not the best player but I know how to score goals. Anyway, I will still always support Persepolis because they are now forever in my heart,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran Times &#8211; TEHRAN, Former Persepolis striker said that Iran\u2019s Esteghlal has made a big&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":21870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,136],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iran-first-division"],"views":1822,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21869","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=21869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
