"This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis. And it’s one that does not grant freedoms of any kind, or accommodate people’s demands in any way. What is increasingly clear is that there is clear demand for change in the regime. What the people want is regime change, and no return to the past. There is a very real possibility of regime change." - Nasrin Sotoudeh
he picked him out and bought him to sepahan academy. Yeah Sardar had a bad time in the academy but it’s true.
Is there any concrete source for this? I keep on hearing this but I've never seen IPL coaches intervene with the youth academy purchases, especially coaches like GN.
Besides that GN is clearly trying to play games with Azmoun and his dad. They are a sensitive bunch and have already come out and talked against GN taking credit and now he's repeating the same thing every second lol

the problem is the media is trying to force an altercation between GN and Azmoun. What matters is they’re both saying nothing is wrong publicly, multiple times, yet journalists keep saying their own thing.

I dont think thats what happened. He saw sardar in the sepahan youth side (u17?) and called him up to the seniors for camp in turkey, few ACL games, and then sardar left shortly after to rubin.
Whatever the details, they clearly have no issues between each other and it is bizarre people keep trying to create controversy out of nothing. As if we are short on real issues...

TEHRAN - Engin Firat, head coach of Kenya football national team, believes that friendly match against Iran was very useful for his side.
Iran football team came from a goal down to defeat Kenya 2-1 in a friendly match in Tehran's Azadi Stadium on March 28.
“Of course, this match was very useful for my team because if you play against a strong team like Iran at the Azadi Stadium, it is always very difficult,” said the Turkish coach to the Tehran Times.
“You could see in the match that it was not a friendly game, but it was like a World Cup qualifying match. The reason is that Iranian players are always motivated, but now that Amir Ghalenoei came as the new head coach, everybody is fighting for his place in the national team. So, it was not a normal and boring friendly match. It was a really tough game with a high hardworking rate,” he added.
Michael Olunga scored for the visiting team in the 51st minute, but Mohammad Mohebi canceled out his goal in the 76th minute. With six minutes remaining, Ramin Rezaeian scored the winner.
“I know Iran very well and I knew exactly how to stop Iran. Iran had a big problem to build-up the game. Iran nearly had zero chances against Kenya from open play. It was totally the opposite in Iran's game against Russia, where Team Melli had a goal chance nearly every two or three minutes. It was not because of the weakness of Iran, rather it was because I know Iran very well. My team made simple mistakes during the game. To be honest, I think Iran was very lucky to win this game,” he added.
It was Kenya's first game since the ban imposed by FIFA in 2021 was lifted last year.
“Yes, we had here in Kenya some political interferences in football. The former sports minister interfered in football. Therefore, FIFA banned the Kenya football federation and we couldn’t play any match for 500 days until the games against Iran. So, our players didn’t play and train together for a long time. Most of the players meet each other before the match against Iran,” said the tactician.
Firat, who worked as an assistant coach for Saipa Football Club and Iran national team from 2006 to 2008, also talked about Amir Ghalenoei, current head coach of Iran.
“Amir and I know each other for over 20 years. Amir is a very disciplined and experienced coach. For him, it is not difficult to handle Iranian football stars. You have to support him and you will see that with Amir you will get the results everybody in Iran wants,” the Kenya head coach concluded.
We need this level of shrewdness and IQ in our players. Meanwhile, we have nuckleheads getting famous for bang bus controversies lol.

To be fair there is a different threshold in Iran.
Olivier Giroud , Mauro Icardi etc can play their game and do whatever they want within legal limits with their personal life with little professional repercussions.
If Azmoun takes one picture with a Svetlana or a Heidi the guy is the new Tiger Woods in Iran
