Esteghlal FC coach Pitso Mosimane is frustrated by his team's struggles in front of the goal in recent assignments.
Despite going the last eight games without tasting defeat across all competition, the two-time AFC Champions League champions are just not getting it right in the final third. They have managed three draws in the last three games, two of them being goalless and one ending 1-1.
To sum it up, the Capital Blues have scored just two goals in the last four outings in all tournaments. The former Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns coach has now let out his frustration and explained why things are not working well in the final third as they should.
I want a win, supporters want a win but…
“We have a lot of challenges, obviously the challenge is on scoring goals. I’m trying to do something about it,” Mosimane told the media.
“I played Alman [Ramezani], we can’t find goals, I played Blanco [Gustavo Leschuk]. We have scored two in four games. I tried Kooshki [Alireza] a winger, you can see I’m trying, it’s not easy to find the best person to score.
“Juma [Masoud] is sick, he hasn’t been training for two days. It’s getting more difficult with the challenges. Roozbeh [Cheshmi] is injured, Hossein [Hosseini] is injured, Zobeir [Niknafs] is injured, so it’s part of life but there is no use complaining. We can’t complain, this is what I have and we are trying to do something about it.
“I’m getting frustrated, the supporters want a win, I want a win also. [Mohammad Hossein] Eslami scored a brilliant goal against Al Ahly Saudi, he’s also injured.”
The next assignment for Mosimane will be in the Persian Gulf Pro League against leaders Sepahan on Thursday.
