Iranian sports press reported that, in recent times, the Persepolis club has invested more in youth teams and reserve squads. Youth team coach Baha Abdi gave an interview to Iran Sports in which he shared that it is difficult to retain players like Pouria Shahabadi for the youth team, and they often have to be promoted to the first team.
Abdi said that this year, although the young team did not start well, compared to last season, the situation has improved. He pointed out that last season, their youth team was one of the worst, but this year, many players have been replaced and supplemented from top teams such as Saipa and Paykan. However, he also emphasized that some key players were injured and could not participate in training right from the beginning of the season.
"We have been preparing for this season since May 20. However, the training conditions on artificial turf have caused many injuries to the players," Abdi said. This coach also said that they have changed many positions in the squad and are facing problems arising from injuries to key players.

Baha Abdi emphasized that the postponement of matches and the extension of training schedules have caused fatigue for the entire team, making preparation for each match more difficult. This also makes it difficult for the young team to find stability in performance.
Although there were a number of new players arriving, many of them chose to join bigger clubs. Abdi admitted that currently the youth team has about 8-7 players playing at the professional level, however, finding potential players from other youth teams is very difficult.
In fact, many young players now have agents, making negotiations even more complicated. Abdi said that currently his team has talented young players, but to bring them into the first team, this depends on many different factors.
Finally, coach Baha Abdi shared that Persepolis currently has many quality players, and if the injured players return, the team will have no difficulty competing in upcoming tournaments. He is also confident in the support from the club's leadership and the facilities the team has.
What happens next
Baha Abdi will need to find solutions to injury problems and training conditions to improve the performance of the Persepolis youth team in the near future. Maintaining stability and developing skills for young players will be a top priority, especially when they are facing a dense schedule and pressure from other teams in the tournament.
