[Leicester City]

Does anyone know if Jahanbakhsh former clubs in Iran are getting some money out of this?

AZ is posting a lot of content about JB. Any Dutch residents who can translate?

Dameshoon garm. They were such a perfect club. From the fans to the coach, we have to appreciate how classy they were throughout this whole affair

I just noticed Brighton's instagram went from 107k to 110k in the last 5 mins. Let's see where it is by the end of the day lol

Hahah last time I checked they had 105K followers and now they had 111K.... Let's see what happenes until tomorrow, all the comments are basically in farsi already.

If they asked me, “If you could take just 1 photo with just 1 player from your Team Melli, who would it be?”

Without a shadow of a doubt I would say, “Alireza Jahanbakhsh.”


I’m so damn proud of him..

If we play in the same way we did last season, he will be playing in the same role as Knockaert did, on the Right side of midfield in a 4-4-1-1 formation. Against the big teams and away from home he will be expected to defend more but will have room on the counter-attack, and against the weaker teams at home he should have more freedom, but will still be expected to help defend sometimes.

Defensive responsibility won't be a problem - he has learned under the Queiroz master class in that regard

Guys sorry but can someone link me to the video of the AZ fans screaming Alirezas name to the Seven Nation Army song. I know it was posted in the AZ thread but I can't seem to find it or remember who posted it. I remember the video had a Dutch title. Thanks

Edit: I have found this video but I believe there was a longer version of this?

To all the Brighton fans who have joined this forum, please if you’re reading this, make sure to chant this at the stadium when you see Alireza score. I know it will make him happy!

Our Iranians who are members of the Brighton forums can share it with them too

So excited for this season's Premier League and of course the Asian Cup. Finally an English team to support and an Iranian player in a top 3 league! Really gonna order that Brighton jersey.

[Perseus]

That's right. He wore 18 in the World Cup.

Now that he's offically Brighton's, what style will you be playing?

ARJ does his best when he's given space to run on the wings. He loves to take long shots and play give and goes (1-2 combination play).
In our national team his responsibilities are considerably different and he plays in a completely different defensive way.

Is he going to be given such opportunities?

i think he will fit seamlessly into the Brighton 4-4-1-1 with two wingers. It is all complicated by the opposition trying to stop him. Unlike Dutch football on the video, the Premier League defenders will cover the space that he will run into.

Still, I think he looks like the missing player we have needed since the summer of 2014.
