The former Iran international also pointed out that the two goals they have conceded so far have come from free-kicks and he mentioned that his team needs to work on defending set-pieces.
“We will try to focus well on defending free-kicks so that it is not seen as a weakness for Persepolis. The two goals we conceded from set-pieces were very rare and the fact that they happened twice may be a cause for concern. However, we need to address this issue with more practice and will remain focused.”
Persepolis so far
The Iranian champions have so far maintained a hundred per cent track record in the AFC Champions League. They began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over UAE's Al Wahda followed by a thumping 3-1 win over Qatar's Al-Rayyan and a narrow 2-1 win over FC Goa.
