Seyed Hadi Aghili , Team Melli’s central defender , strongly denied the press reports and accusations that he has left Team Melli camp on the eve of the match against Lebanon. Aghili was absent from the team roster in last Wednesday which was the first  match of the AFC Asian Cup 2015 qualifiers.

Aghili said that he did not leave the Team Melli camp and the hotel without permission , however he declined to go into details and admitted that he should have had the proper authorization before leaving the hotel.

Aghili was speaking from Qatar on the phone in the highly popular “Navad” TV show and stated that he will properly defend himself in person as talking on the phone in a TV show is not the proper means od doing so.
