Esteghlal manager Andrea Stramaccioni hits back at Persepolis head coach Gabriel Calderon before Tehran heated derby.<\/p>\n
Esteghlal will take on Persepolis in Iran pro league match week 4 and Stramaccioni is searching his first win in the competition.<\/p>\n
Calderon has criticized Esteghlal lofty expenditure in the summer and former Inter Milan manager reacted to that.
\n\u201cFirst of all I respect Mr Calderon because he is older than me and is famous. But really I don\u2019t understand why he continues to talk about any team except his team.\u201d Italian manager said to reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe because Persepolis, for sure, are the best team of the league so far with the best value of the players and highest salaries in the league. So I think this is not professional and I don\u2019t know why he spoke about [Cheike] Diabate because I think Calderon was not Persepolis coach when we were trying to buy Diabate. And maybe he should be happy because Diabate will not play tomorrow for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
