Navideshahed: Akbar was a fan for Esteghlal Team and Ali was a fan for Perspolis team. A week before the military operation, they had sat down inside the rifle pit and they were discussing the winning of their favorite teams. They would try to support their favorite teams as well. When the discussion became so serious, they did not talk with each other anymore, they did not see ach other until the end of the military operation. Akbar was so sad because he had argued with Ali like that, he was thinking deeply and he was crying in tears.

He was saying, "If something has occurred for him, what I can do and what I should do? What can I respond to his parents...”

Suddenly he observed that the other fighters are laughing. He left the rifle pit and he wiped out his tears. Suddenly he heard the sound of some persons who were chanting: "Hoora Perspolis, but Esteghlal is a looser!”

He could not believe it.  Ten Iraqi captives were coming towards the rifle pit with their bare feet. Ali had ridden on the shoulders one of the senior Iraqi war captive and he was moving a red flag. So the Iraqis would chant the motto based on his demand. It was the first and final time that they were expressing such mottos and all of them were so happy.

He welcomed Ali, Ali got off from the shoulders from the Iraqi senior war captive and they hugged each other and they kissed each other. As Ali was laughing said: "Akbar, you see, even the Iraqis are the fans of Perspolis! Both of them laughed so much. The Iraqis did not know what mottos they are expressing. They would repeat the same motto with much fear and they would chant the following sentence in Persian language: "Perspolis Hoora, Esteghlal is a loser!”

The End
