There are many cultural similarities between Iranians and Tajiks. We feel we are at home here in Tajikistan. I hope the good relationships between two countries become stronger. We speak the same language. Farsi is a poetic and an important language in the world. We must be proud of our language and cultural heritage,\u201d Golmohammadi said in the pre-match news conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIstiklol are an organized team and they defend well. They are a dangerous team on the counter attack. We are well aware of their attacking power and have ways to control their players. I hope we can perform our tactics in the match against them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe endured hardship to reach this stage. Persepolis players are experienced and we will fight till our last breath. I trust my players and hope we advance to the next stage,\u201d the Persepolis coach stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPersepolis have not played on their home soil for about 900 days due to the Covid-19 restrictions and also sanctions. We are the most popular football team in Asia and need to play at our home. Our players have always shown that they play with winning mentality. We always play for victory and honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFootball is for friendship and we respect our opponents. Tomorrow can be a celebration for friendship between the nations and governments,\u201d Golmohammadi concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran Times &#8211; DUSHANBE, Persepolis football team coach Yahya Golmohammadi says that Tajikistan\u2019s Istiklol are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":43566,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,84,164,136,172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c17-asian-competitions","category-c47-featured-news","category-ipl","category-iran-first-division","category-persepolis"],"views":940,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43565","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=43565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43567,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43565\/revisions\/43567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
