If Ali Karimi had played today

[moghbelli]

I dont know how many people are gonna agree with me but in my opinion if Ali Karimi had started(probably instead of Khatibi) today and Im sayin this based on his good abilities in the air and N. Korea's shown weakness through the air; I think Karimi would have scored at least one or two more and added that to the score. Although knowing Ali Daei he might not have even used Karimi as a starter.
IMO he would have been the perfect addition to this squad and had a significant tactical impact on the way they were playing.

[Saaman]

couldnt u say this in the other "karimi threads" instead of making a new one

=P

but yee, of course the game had been diffrent with karimi. spec if he had played like he has with PP the last games

[Bobbyrider]

Well he would have made things alot more entertaining but dont worry he will be back just wait:)

[tashakor]

baba even if Kolah Ghermezi started before Khatibi we would have had an extra goal....Ali Karimi foward against a fast NK, I don't know man....

[021]

Instead of Karimi meaning he played as striker? Lmao Karimi might even be worse than Khatibi as a striker. Don't believe me? Go watch Iran-UAE 2002.

[Payam_S]

If nothing at least he could have brought more than 50k spectators to the stadium.

[Doctor DOOM]

judging by what he did in the last 2 PP games, I'd say he'd have destroyed the koreans and perhaps score a couple all by himself.

he heads well.... unlike rezaei and khatibi
he is a fighter , physically, in the middle of defenders ... unlike rezaei and khatibi
he handles the ball far better than anyone in the team

Yeah he missed so many but if Iran was playing like that match OMG so many ppl was not this angry and worry.
I love this match, I know we missed too many goal but at least we played beautiful football which I havent seen since ages.

Headers I agree with you.
Fights, hell no. Rezaei is much better than him. (Goals vs. Syria and Kuwait)
Actually, Khatibi and Rezaei's handling was good this game. It was their finishing that was lacking.

[persian-eagle-13]

if he had played today, the score would have been the SAME...... 2-1

Khatibi yes but rezaei?:confused: :nono:

[Doctor DOOM]

by "physical" I mean better upper body strength to fight off defenders in duels and jumps.
neither khatibi nor rezaei have that.

they are too short and small to be able to win duels.


you guys are talking about fighting spirit.
perhaps I shd have made it more clear

Last time we saw Karimi play though (AFC and couple games after) he was playing really passive and was almost scared to fight for the ball. Despite being short, Rezaei has proven that he has the strength and speed needed to fight off defenders.

[Classyahmad]

Even if Chris Ronaldo had been in, instead of karimi or who ever, nothing would have changed.

This team has no strategy to counter a losing, or for that matter, a winning situation (Against kuwait). We must thank the 3 or 4 key players whom have always done us proud for getting the vital 3 points !!!

[Inda]

today sometimes the iranian player stoped and played back the ball and the korean could switch to defence and we played around the ball at the back and didnt create any dangerous thing like the koreans did yew we had the ball most but we could create more with karimi he would atleast have one player marking him so the other players in TM would get more space and move forward and karimis dribbles would create space for other players and get the attention from other N.korean players. karimi is good to hold on to the ball so when we kick the ball to hell like our defenders do sometimes we have someone that could hold the ball until the team has come up on the field and karimi is 1000000000 times better than khatibi but who isnt?

كريمى باز هم خودش را ثابت كرد
روز گذشته حدود ۱۵۰ تماشاگر براى تماشاى تمرين پرسپوليس راهى ورزشگاه اكباتان شده بوند. تماشاگران چند روزى بود كه تيم را از تشويق هاى خود محروم كرده و با اين اعتصاب اعتراضشان را به نتايج اخير نشان داده بودند، از روز دوشنبه اعتصاب خود را شكسته و على كريمى را تشويق مى كردند تا حمايت از او را در مقابل دايى نشان دهند.
اما ديروز تماشاگران به نشانه اعتراض علاوه بر تشويق كريمى، عليه على دايى شعار دادند كه كريمى خيلى زود به طرف آنها رفته و از تماشاگران خواست هر كه را مى خواهند تشويق كنند اما به سرمربى تيم ملى هيچ اهانتى نكرده و حرمت او را حفظ كنند.
كريمى با اين كار خود ثابت كرد على رغم وجود اختلافات و ناراحتى بين او و دايى هرگز اجازه نمى دهد سرمربى تيم ملى و تيم ملى زير سؤال رفته و كسى به آنها اهانت كند. اين حركت كريمى بار ديگر بزرگى او را ثابت كرد و درس خوبى به تماشاگران داد كه در عين احساساتى شدن هم حق اهانت به كسى را ندارند.

Yup, I just saw this in Khabar Varzeshi.
Also it was on news that he was really eager to go to Azadi and watch the macth and cheers TM up but some of his friends suggested him not to do it cos it just gonna make more hashie in stadium.

and i think that if you take a piece of kabob, bury it in the ground, and sprinkle rice on it, a kabob tree will grow.

Translation jigar?

[tashakor]

Wasn't Karimi suppose to be in the Stadium?

[Ala]

karimi would not have made a significant difference to this game.
how many times before we waited for the Shazdeh to do a miracle?

karimi first needs to do well in his club, then work on his temper even
b4 being useful for TM. A player that adds hashieh, kills the team spirit.

I agree that a rehabilitated karimi may be useful for TM, though.

[Martin-Reza]

Karimi for Khatibi is utopy, Karimi is not a nokeh hamleh player. He would have started instead of Jabbari and I think Jabbari, who had an assist, had a good game overall.

Karimi also played in 2005 when we won 1-0 and 2-0.

that really makes me wonder the credibility of your whole post man.

I saw your post in the other thread that you wish Bagheri could return him back to TM and now i see this one:rofl:

[fairplay]

Karimi still is Iran's best and most complete player. Please stop your emotional stand from taking sides and talk football.

[Parsa]

DD I usually agree with your comments and analysis but I don't see how Rezaei lacks physical strength. Other than his short height, his muscle mass and speed coupled with relentless energy make him an ideal fighter on the field.

[avicenna 18]

and i think that if you take a piece of kabob, bury it in the ground, and sprinkle rice on it, a kabob tree will grow.

:rofl: :rofl:
good one...lol

[avicenna 18]

I think it would've all depended on his motivation.....Right now, his potential contribution would be as a "kazeb" forward...as we have a pretty good midfield and Khatibi is not TM level. Rezei is not really a centre froward and Hashemian is injured left and right....so Karimi would be great as a forward IMO

Also, I don't really agree that G.Rezaei is not physically strong or worse than Karimi...he is big time fighter and a very good addition to TM... it's good to see him in TM

[sheerkhan]

if karimi waz playing we would have scored at least 2 goals yesterday but this khatibi:@:@:@ makes me angry when ever i c him play he can't score understand daei in the second half there waz a volly from rezai to khatibi but the could't even score it he just kicked the ball in a very clamzy way what a loser then when he gave the ball. he waz not satisfaied about the volly he got from rezai we waz waitin for a low pass az it waz shown when he gave the ball what losEEEEEEEEEER :@:@:@:@

[MoJo]

He chose not to play. I choose not to entertain thoughts of his possible effect on the game.

[Naap]

If Ali Who played???

[Ala]

I saw your post in the other thread that you wish Bagheri could return him back to TM and now i see this one:rofl:


I am hoping that Karimi re-thinks his approach and learns from
his past mistakes and then take pride in playing for TM as a soldier.

.

[kaz]

Instead of Karimi meaning he played as striker? Lmao Karimi might even be worse than Khatibi as a striker. Don't believe me? Go watch Iran-UAE 2002.

Go watch Iran-S.Korea 2004.

[kaz]

Lets say, Karimi is superman, as long as he doesnt want to play for TM, its no use dreaming about what would happen if he played.

We could pray that Daei - who loves TM the most :D - will entice Superman back, though.

I know, right? And this guy calls himself a patriot.

:rofl: :bow:

whats the use ofthis?
"if X or Y had played That doesn't say anything, we cannot showcase it, so its waste of time discussing it. More surprising to see people knowing it for sure; "if he(Karimi) had played he def. had scored a couple of goals" :rolleyes:
