Fanonizadeh: The club and Musimane must solve the problem of Esteghlal's Achilles heel

According to the reporter of Mehr, the Esteghlal football team, which with Pitsu Musimane at the end of the first half of the 24th season of the Premier League, was in 10th place, hopes to use the opportunity of the mid-season vacation to find better conditions for the continuation of the competition. Championship contenders are added.

In the meantime, of course, the fluctuation that Esteghlal has had during Musimana's presence has created concerns for the second half of the season. Some of Esteghlal's veterans in their conversations give the necessary recommendations for the improvement of this team in the second half of the season.

Destructive criticism only hurts the team

In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Mehdi Fanonizadeh evaluated the performance of the Blue Poshans in the first half of the Premier League season and said: “The last round of the league has ended with all the hardships it had for Esteghlal, and now Musimane must prepare himself with a precise and regular schedule.” The return round of the league is slow. In addition, he has the elimination cup and the elite league ahead of him.

Esteghlal should take advantage of the half-season break for physical preparation and reviewing tactical work and not lose time. Of course, these days, some who are hostile to Esteghlal have started to destroy the technical staff and are looking to create differences in the team. Constructive criticism is good and helpful and will strengthen the team, but criticism out of spite will be destructive and the team will suffer, so the team officials and players and even the technical staff should be alert and not allow the team to enter the sidelines.

Changes must be principled and logical

The football expert also said about the big management changes in Tehran Blue Club: Unfortunately, the performance of the current management was poor and they could not meet the expectations. The current managers of Esteghlal did not act with strength in whatever work was entrusted to them and weakened the team, and now it is time for fundamental changes to be made in order to remove Esteghlal from the margins. Of course, choosing efficient and capable managers is a difficult task and requires precision and sensitivity. Choices should be based on people's ability and anyone should not enter a management cycle that will not work in the future and only occupy one seat.

The wishes of the head coach should be done sooner

Regarding the recruitment of the desired players, Musimane also said: let's keep an eye on each other, the games will start and we should not lose time. The players desired by the head coach should be recruited as soon as possible so that the technical staff will have all their players at the start of training and setting up the camp. The first half of the team's season was incomplete and most of its players were injured, which was mostly related to poor physical training in the pre-season, so Esteghlal managers should make more efforts so that the team's training starts with all the players and the head coach's hand is open to choose the players.

Recruiting strikers and playmaking midfielders should be a priority

Regarding Esteghlal's weaknesses in different positions, Mehdi Fanonizadeh said: Esteghlal needs a first class striker more than anything. The position that Esteghlal has always had the best, but this season has become the Achilles heel of the Blues and the attackers have performed extremely poorly.

In the midfield, apart from Masharipov's good performance, the blue-clad players need a designer and creative midfielder to increase the strength of Esteghlal's midfield. Of course, in recent days, we have seen and heard all kinds of names of players who want to come to Esteghlal, but according to your knowledge We know from Musimane that he will definitely choose players who are the best and have a place in his technical thinking
