Ivankovic says the hopeful will lose in traditional derby

MNA – Iran manager Branco Ivankovic here Wednesday said the team which claims to win the tradition derby between Persepolis and Esteqlal will emerge the loser.
The Croat who paid a visit to Mehr News Agency and Tehran Times added Persepolis vowed to collect the perfect points in last season’s derby but it lost to Esteqlal.

Such a game makes the league more appealing, said the trainer adding that a great number of fans flock to Azadi Stadium Friday to watch the match. “I postponed my trip to Croatia to watch the derby in the stadium,” he said.
