Title: “New Esteghlal Signing Hossein Goodarzi Vows League Victory Amid Fan Excitement”
Fan Favorite Pledges Success for Esteghlal
Hossein Goodarzi, Esteghlal FC’s latest and most promising signing, has quickly won over the passionate Blue supporters, confidently promising a league title in his first interaction with fans. His arrival has further boosted optimism around the team under head coach Ricardo Sá Pinto.
A Warm Welcome for the New Defender
As the new Persian Gulf Pro League season kicks off, Goodarzi—who joined Esteghlal this summer from Sepahan—has already captured the hearts of fans. The left-back, brought in to compete with Abolfazl Jalali, has solidified a key position, easing tactical concerns for the coaching staff.
Yesterday, Goodarzi was met with an overwhelming reception from Esteghlal supporters as he left the training ground. The enthusiastic welcome demonstrated his rising popularity even before the official start of the season. Unable to step out of his car due to the crowd, the humble defender still took time to pose for selfies with fans, further endearing himself to the club’s loyal base.
Confident Words for a Bright Future
In a brief interview with reporters, Goodarzi struck an optimistic tone, stating, “The conditions at Esteghlal are truly excellent.” His positive remarks were met with cheers from fans, one of whom jokingly urged, “Forget the Super Cup—just promise us the league title!” Without hesitation, Goodarzi responded with a firm “Yes,” igniting even greater excitement among supporters.
A Season of High Hopes
Though Goodarzi faces stiff competition for a starting role—having made a 73rd-minute substitute appearance in the Super Cup—his determination to prove himself remains strong. A standout performance in the lead-up to the World Cup earned him attention from Iran’s national team selectors, a key factor in his move to Esteghlal.
With such a promising start, both Goodarzi and Esteghlal appear poised for an eventful and successful season ahead.
