He added: "From the start of the season to the end, Persepolis was the best team and with 65 points became champions. Our players put all their emotion and efforts into getting a victory. I want to thank the entire Persepolis organization, which would take hours if I had to name all of the people involved. However, do not forget that Habib Kashani and Mahmood Khordbin gave their hearts for this team."
Regarding his team's performance against Sepahan, he stated: "We guessed that teams would become tired at the end of matches. This is what happened to Sepahan and because they lost concentration, they conceded.
Concerning the possibility of renewing his contract with Persepolis, Ghotbi said: "Currently, I want to enjoy this feeling. I will discuss the issue later."
Regarding the expression of emotion by the fans, Ghotbi said: "I had not seen scenes like this in my entire life. I managed to find my way through the fans by jumping over them, but I am not upset at all about this and am extremely happy today to witness the emotions of these fans. I dedicate this Championship to the fans."
Regarding the technical aspects of the game, Ghotbi said: "After the goal we scored, we lost our concentration a little and in the second half we were relying on the weaknesses of the Sepahan players. With the use of certain tactics we were able to defeat them. At any rate, Persepolis deserves this Championship because we missed many chances and were denied a 100% penalty."
