Adesorian Experiment: ROWSHAN, PIUS, DAEI 3 forwards form 3 epoches in 10 Categories

[Adesor Vafaseya]

whilst we had many great forwards in our history
these 3 forwards HASSAN ROWSHAN, FARSHAD PIUS, ALI DAEI each can be regarded as most "talked abouts" during the three time epoches they played:

Hassan rowshan of Golden 70ies
Farshad Pius of 80ies
Ali Daei of 90ies and new millenium

lets try to categorize them in the following 10 categories, who would make it first in each list:

SPEED
HEADERS
PRECISION
AGILITY
TECHNICAL SKILLS
DRIBBLINGS
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE
AIR DUEL
GROUND DUEL
TEAM WORK



my own list would go as follows;

SPEED Rowshan
HEADERS Daei
PRECISION Rowshan
AGILITY Pius
TECHNICAL SKILLS Rowshan
DRIBBLINGS Rowshan
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE Rowshan
AIR DUEL Daei
GROUND DUEL Pius
TEAM WORK Pius

score: Rowshan (5), Pius (3), Daei (2)


Purely analytical!
Pick ONLY ONE for each category! How would your list look like?

Interesting topic...Love it.

But Farhad jan...Nafahmidam ....don't you regard scoring or finishing as extremely important attribute of a player specially a forward?

I have adjusted that with your kind permission and eliminated Ground duel cuz it is covered by both team work and dribbling.


my own list would go as follows;

SPEED: Rowshan
HEADERS: Daei
PRECISION: Rowshan
AGILITY Rowshan
TECHNICAL SKILLS: Rowshan
DRIBBLING: Rowshan
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE Rowshan
AIR DUEL: Daei
TEAM WORK: Daei
GOAL SCORING/FINISHING: Daei


score: Rowshan (6), Pius (0), Daei (4)

To be fair and to qualify my reasoning , I have not seen Pious in action as much as Daei and Rowshan and what I have seen of Pious was more promise than action.

thanks Majeed Jan, I left goal scoring on purpose out since all three where GREAT in that department... I made a sub category which was "Precision" but thanks for your list... I am fine with it

For a good part of the early to mid 80's we also had Nasser Mohammadkhani.

Pious only played from 1987 to 1992. In fact between 1990 to 1992 there were only a handful of TM games.

Wow amoo jaan, according to your list Roshan's precision was even more accurate than Daei's? I've never seen any footage of Rashan's goals. Going by Maij's and your call, then Roshan must have been an amazing finisher! I see that in Maij's picks Roshan wins pretty much most titles!

I kind of remember Naaser Mohammadkhani's fantastic runs and skillful techniques along with great finishing touch, and if I'm not mistaken Farshad Piyous was also a great goal scorer and more importantly one of the smartest Iranian strikers.

[Rooyintan]

I agree Rowshan and Pius both are well ahead of Daei. Other great forwards will surely be Mohammadkhani, Bavi and Marfavi.

I agree with Farhad e Aziz,and agree with Majid's amendments !!
...........
While Ali Daei's exceptional qualities were :

1-His hight.
2-His heading ability.
3-His ( Gholdornes ! ) Ground Duel , ( which is a little different than team work or driblling ! )
4- His finishing touch.( scoring )
..............

All other qualities,must go to Roshan !

.............

In my 40 years of watching Iranian football,......there were only two players....
whom when ever they had the ball,...they gave the feeling..." Something is going to happen now !! "
....One was Hassan Roshan, and the other was Ali parvin .

It is interesting to say.....both these players had something wrong with thier feet !! and seemed to have " Rashitism "..and thier legs were bent.....Ali parvin's legs were bent inward, as there seemed like there was a hole between his legs !!
And Roshan's legs were bent outward, as it appeared,his knees were connected and spread apart from knee down !

I give one more quality to Roshan.....

He was a very exciting ! player ....

SPEED Roshan
HEADERS Daei
PRECISION Daei
AGILITY Roshan
TECHNICAL SKILLS Roshan
DRIBBLINGS Roshan
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE Roshan
AIR DUEL Daei
GROUND DUEL Daei
TEAM WORK Daei

Daei 5, Roshan 5, Pious 0
I give Daei the edge based on his better goal scoring ability, stronger physics, and great leadership as a captain.

Pious' strong point was Air Duel, but not as strong as Daei

[zzgloo]

Daei had difficulty from his chest down !!
Too much upper body concentration....although it helped him be very strong at heading....yet he very seldom looked at his feet !, and was very weak in dribbling.

Roshan,while he did score some times by his head, yet he was in general weak at heading the ball, ( like most Iranian players )

From the very limited my knowledge and exposure to Pious and mainly during the Asian cup , I really do not rate him anywhere close to Daei...then again , I am kind of handicapped on the 80's and early 90's era to formulate a solid opinion.
