Actually, usually players With over involved dads are the ones who do make it. Just imagine If Arat had a typical laid back old school Iranian dad who couldn’t care less. What would the chances of becoming a footballer player in Iran? Very slim.
Arat’s dad’s video to Ali Karimi really turned me off. Not a fan of him at all. I do believe he is exploiting Arat. But on the other hand, I have no doubt that he truly loves him and wants the absolute best for him too.
There will be an instagram fight between these parents promoting “my son is better than your looser boy”.
“mine can lift weights”, “mine can do a scissor kick”, “mine can fly a fighter jet”, “mine is a living human calculator” etc etc...
The only bad thing is they will not say it like I said but in the same language and manner as Arat’s dad. Hope I am wrong.
That's pretty much the norm in every social media platform. Don't read the comments.
It's funny (and sad) that at some point it used to be because you could be anonymous and spew whatever you wanted, but now a days people spew hate even with their standard FB and Twitter accounts. It's amazing how the internet has brought out the worst in people. Now we have people who are having kids and right off the bat they start putting them on whatever platform to chase that 15 minute of fame.
I'm pretty sure Arat's dad does shishe or some kind of drug. The way he freaks out and attacked Ali Karimi was way out of bounds especially with him siding with Amir Tataloo who is another shishe user.
Although, I will say that he does a very very good job with Arat and you can tell Arat has elevated his game. I will definitely see him make it to TM one day.
Great interview with Mahdavikia about Arat.
He also talks about Amir Hossein Hajizadeh and his situation today.
Interesting that he revealed about their two 16 year old players, one plays in Barcelona now (!!!!) and another is gonna start in Dortmund soon!

First of all Mehdi is a national treasure and singlehandedly is helping the Iranian youth system develop pathways for our talented young footballers.
Also it was really interesting talking about youth football and indirectly talking about Arat. Now I am waiting to see a video of Arat’s dad throwing shade at Mehdi. 🤦🏻
I also recently saw a bunch of videos of Iranians in England going to Arat’s house to catch a glimpse of him. It’s almost like they are there to see the pope. This is just way too much unneeded attention/distraction for a 6 year old.
