For Perspolis and Sepahan it all comes down to the last match

Tomorrow, in the last day of the 2007-08 Iranian Professional League, it will all come down to one match; the match between leaders Sepahan FC of Isfahan, and Perspolis FC of Tehran. Only two points separate these two teams and the winner will earn the 2007-08 crown.

This match has grabbed the attention of most Iranias, football fans or not, and that is all because of Afshin Ghotbi, the Perspolis coach.

The 40 something years old Ghotbi is an Iranian-American who returned to his country of birth after 30 long years to coach one of the two most popular teams in Iran. He has had to fight through many controversies during the last few months to put his team in this position. Perhaps that is why he thinks no matter what happens tomorrow, Perspolis are the Champions.
