Key points

- Reza Mirzaei, former Esteghlal player and former Sepahan player, will face his former club with Chadormalu in Yazd.
- محبوب ساپینتو، منتظر استقلال در یزد!.
After several years spent at Sepahan, Mirzaei joined Esteghlal in the summer preceding the 22 edition of the Iranian championship. He quickly established himself as one of the players appreciated by the blue public, thanks to his acceleration and his excesses. But a serious rupture of the cruciate ligament which occurred during the last weeks of this same championship slowed down his progress: this serious injury forced him to a long absence and precipitated his separation from Esteghlal.
Despite this painful departure, Mirzaei never made any virulent remarks against his former club. On the contrary, he always spoke of his time with Esteghlal with respect, which helped to preserve good relations with the supporters. However, on the pitch, his priorities are now clear: defend the colors of Chadormalu and offer offensive solutions to the team led by Saeid Akhbari.

The figures speak for themselves: before this confrontation, Mirzaei had thirteen matches played against Esteghlal, with a record of two wins, five draws and six defeats. He has already scored against Esteghlal in the colors of Sepahan and has the hope of repeating this feat in the Chadormalu jersey.
This season, the player has shown that he can influence matches: he notably scored an important goal against Sanat Naft, contributing to Chadormalu's 2-1 success in Abadan. His penetrations and accelerations remain valuable assets for Akhbari's offensive schemes and one of the preferred routes to creating chances.
For this fourteenth confrontation against Esteghlal, Mirzaei approaches the match shared between emotion and concentration. He will have to put aside memories to devote himself fully to Chadormalu's quest for points, while maintaining the politeness and respect that characterized his relationships with the supporters of his former club. In Yazd, the former favorite of Esteghlal therefore hopes to make an impression - and perhaps the nets - for the benefit of his current team.
The rest
Reza Mirzaei is expected on the field with the firm intention of making a significant offensive contribution to Chadormalu. Although he has nostalgic memories of his time at Esteghlal, his main focus will be on maximizing his team's chances in this match. Mirzaei's performances in the Iran Championship will be scrutinized as he looks to return to success after his injury.
