Title: Strategic Shift: Persepolis Announces Six Changes Ahead of Crucial Khuzestan Derby
Tehran – In a significant tactical move, Persepolis’s newly appointed Brazilian head coach, Osmar Vieira, has announced a major reshuffle for the team’s upcoming league match, signaling a focused strategy for the busy weeks ahead.
Pre-Match Press Conference Highlights
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the match against Esteghlal Khuzestan, Coach Vieira outlined the immediate schedule for the Red Army. He confirmed that following the derby, scheduled for tomorrow in Tehran, the team will be granted a several-day rest period.
A Calculated Break for Future Challenges
“After the match against Esteghlal Khuzestan,” Vieira stated, “Persepolis’s training sessions will be suspended until Tuesday and will resume from Wednesday.” This strategic break is designed to allow players to recuperate before a demanding period of competition.
The hiatus is particularly crucial as Persepolis prepares for a high-stakes encounter in the Hazfi Cup. Shortly after the break, the team has just ten days to finalize preparations for their sensitive round of 16 match against Tractor FC.
Focus on the Hazfi Cup
The draw for the Hazfi Cup has already determined that Tractor will host Persepolis on November 20th in Tabriz. In accordance with the competition’s regulations, this pivotal match is scheduled to be played behind closed doors, without spectators.
This period represents a critical test for Coach Vieira’s leadership as he navigates the team through consecutive important fixtures in both the domestic league and the national cup tournament.
