Persepolis doesn't have a good form this year after we lost Soroush Rafie and Ramin Rezaian. IFF and Sport ministry only support Esteghlal. They paid SS debt last year and provide them with more financial back ups. Our past debt will change our progress. We already have two unhappy key players (Taremi and Mosalman), Manuel Jose and his assistants case in CIS, retiring Seyd Jalal , and bunch of injured & mahroom players like Kamyabinia and Nourollahi. Sepahan took 3 Persepolisi musketeers (Mehrdad Mohamadi, Said Aghai, and Sasan Ansari) + Zlatko who is a good coach. Sepahan has the edge this season. I don't see a bright pass ahead of Persepolis other than ACL this season.
