### Absence of Puyol in Bist Hejdah

On 20 June 2018, the day of the Iran-Spain match, Carles Puyol, the former captain of FC Barcelona and Spain, was scheduled to come to the Bist Hejdah program and talk to Adel Ferdosipour. But this was prevented for some reason. There has been a lot of talk about banning Puyol from Attend the program. At first they said he did not want to sit in front of the camera because he had not received any money. Then it was announced that due to the strange economic situation, a strange and huge budget was spent on the presence of this player in Iran, the officials of the IRIB stopped him from appearing in the live broadcast in order to discipline Adel Ferdosipour and this famous presenter sought to attract Not to be important figures in world football with huge expenses to Iran. Finally, the long hair of this veteran was discussed and some people claimed that because Puyol's hair is long, the managers of the IRIB did not like their taste that such a figure should enter the Bist Hejdah studio so that he does not become a role model for Iranian youth! In the last comment, we heard that Puyol had not agreed to go into the studio in a long-sleeved shirt and cover his tattoos, so he was not allowed to enter the Bist Hejdah program, and although he even went behind the scenes, they said that he had no right to go. Go to the camera. In some Iranian media, Carles Puyol was quoted as saying after the cancellation of his television program:
   I was told that I could not attend the program due to physical problems.
Adel Ferdosipour protested against this decision until an hour before the start of the match between the national teams of Iran and Spain, and Mohammad Reza Ahmadi spent hours alone performing the program.
