Amir Abedzadeh @ Club Sport Maritimo | 2017

Thanks for Ando Teymourian for pointing the move out for us. Fantastic move for him, he is still 23 and has time to grow. He will learn a lot at Maritimo even if he does not get playing time. Looks like he will be the 3rd goalkeeper for now.

Amir Abedzadeh will be reinforced by Marítimo, Maisfutebol said.

The Iranian goalkeeper who came to Portugal this year to represent Barreirense of the Portuguese Championship will sign for the islanders. It is recalled that Marítimo lost Gottardi until the end of the season due to an achilles tendon injury.

The story of Amir Abedzadeh has already been told by Maisfutebol, under the heading Sunday afternoon, he is very famous in Iran thanks to the career of his father, a former Iranian international.

Good for him he keeps trying and that is all that matters.

this means we will have a gk in UT

Wow what an under the radar signing! All these players we have as free agents, like Haghighi, Dejagah, and Ezzatolahi... yet its Abedzadeh going to a top 5 league?

If you guys look at his insta, you can tell hes a really hard working guy and has a lot of ambitions... Best of luck Amir!

He will be most likely the 3rd choice keeper. I highly doubt if he gets any playing time, base on few games i saw from him in past, he had hard time to get playing time in IPL, he was selected as 2nd choice keeper behind Akhbari in u-23 and even that some thought it was due to his dad connection as he was without club, lets hope he proves me wrong!

Great move, proud of you!

This shows agent and connection plays a big role in players career, a guy like Amir Abedzadeh who had hard time to get starting job in any IPL team get a European offer from top 5 league, while we have much better keepers in Iran who either don't want get the hell out or don't have a decent agents.

Or maybe PGL coaches failed to see something in him because of a few bad moments? Majority of PGL coaches only care about results, they don't have the patience nor the mentoring abilities to guide young players out of difficult times. They drop them like a sack of bricks and go for a different player, which is probably what happened with Abedzadeh too.

nice move!

Yeah totally, from what I have seen from him he is a Azadegan league level keeper at best

Let's hope this won't be another typical Portugal experience. We had a lot of guys in the past who totally failed in Portugal for vague reasons. Chaab, Esmaeilzadeh, Zarei...the list is pretty long.

Are they playing in the highest league?

Yes, and they are currently in 7th place in the primeira liga. Solid mid-table Portuguese team

Maritimo is the last team Haghighi played for and also the team he had an altercation with the goal keeping coach.

What a shitty signing for that team. That guy is shit. Sometimes you wonder how these transfers even happen.

Hey! As Abedzadeh's 69th cousin, I find this offensive.

He is their second choice actually. Apparently the 2nd and 3rd goalkeepers got injured.

Wouldn't call him shit. He had didn't have great performances, but he had some potential when he played for Rah Ahan, he had great reflexes, but he had a lot of sootis and stupid mistakes. He works pretty hard, so lets give him a chance.

That kid is not even a first choice keeper in Iran. We just have so many better keepers thats why its a surprising move. I haven't seen much potential in him whenever I saw him play. A keeper that makes alot of sootis and mistakes, he is never likely to become a great keeper. I guess time will tell what happens with him.

Have you ever seen mohammadreza akhbari play for TS?

That's a perfect example - he makes a ton of silly mistakes and sooti's but his skill set as a GK is actually pretty good. The sooti's can be fixed with time and experience, let's wait and see how this pans out.

He's 23 and he's a goalie. If he plays his cards right he still has another ~14 years to go, so I'd say it's a bit too early to write him off.

I think CQ has helped. Maritimo is 7.th the table. Still in first division. Better than II league.

Poor guy can't get a break. I saw him play when he was playing for the LA Blues. Having the Abedzadeh last name is definitely working against him. He has got some big shoes to fill. Best of luck to him.

There you have it... money and connections will get you places. Every club this guy has been in has been because of his father and his money. Now with a very weak CV, and no significant matches to speak of, he's in one of the best clubs in Portugal.

I think you are confusing Portugal for Iran. Tho this might be very very true in Iran, it is hard for me to believe because of money or favoritism a professional club in Europe would risk such a move! No amount of money would be justified in front of the fans, newspapers etc

I don't think Abedzadeh is a household name in Portugal lol…

I think people are underestimating this guy… He had a very good trial with Maritimo before they signed him. He's been very sharp of late, but keep sleeping on my boyyy

Akhbari's main issue is long shots, other than that in one & one situation, cross ball, and positioning he is pretty decent, the fact that he keeps struggling for long target shots for a pretty long period says a lot about the quality of keepers coaches in Iran.
Most important thing is Akhbari is one of the few athletic keepers in Iran, which has a good physique for the job, something that starting with, Abedzadeh, contrary to his dad missing!
Anyway i wish him the best and hope he does well in his new adventure, he is still pretty young.

Be nazare man ghezavate Akhbari vaghean gande. Tasmimhaaye badi migire va bekhatere in tasmimha golhaaye alaki ham mikhore.

Just because its Europe doesnt really mean its all professional. The 2nd division of Portugal is filled with Chinese players. The team Abedzadeh just signed for has a random Saudi player. Obviously those players didnt get there based on merit.

What are you talking about? Maritimo is a professional club, and it certainly has no Saudi player on it.

Are you jumping from thread to thread calling legionnaire goalies "garbage" and "dalghak" ?

Last time I checked, he's 23, young, has some experience playing in the IPL, which you and I haven't, and is now playing in one of the world's best leagues. Doesn't sound like garbage to me.

According to forza app he is on the bench today

Their main GK is injured and will miss until the end of the season. I think Amir will be at least on the bench until then.

It looks like he has established himself as 2nd goalkeeper since he is regularly making the bench.

Not bad for his first season at Maritimo who are 6th...do we have a future TM goalie in the making?

Short answer: No.

Maritimo secured a spot at the UEL qualifiers.
