We have had the privilege of seeing a World Cup with so many different nationalities from all over the world as well as many different unique playing styles.
I've followed Team Melli since I was young from the 1998 World Cup and always wondered if we would adopt the playing style of a more well-known team.
In 1998, I noticed the absolutely awesome nature of "gheyrat" from all of our players working as a unit to achieve the result with some star studded lineups who are our heroes to this day. We had a period of time where we had excellent players but were unable to make the team work as greater than the sum of its parts. A disappointing World cup later(2006), and we fell off for some time in player quality. It's hard to pinpoint what our exact playing style was during this time. The closest I would say is a team that tried to stay in the game and rely on individidual brilliance for goals against stronger/same level teams, while trying to overwhelm weaker teams with players in the box. After CQ came, our style changed considerably for better or worse to a team that relies on staying in the game, taking our opportunities and closing down.
Many of the top footballing countries have set footballing principles for their clubs/national teams and generally follow certain philosophies of football. There are of course exceptions to this for some players and teams in certain periods, but a usual theme can be seen:
Germany--> Promote youth, well-rounded efficient technical players that are flexible in position. Some Gegenpressing(Counter-pressing)
Argentina--> High tempo, physical team surrounding a talisman(Messi, Maradona, Riquelme).
Brazil--> "Joga Bonito". Overwhelming opponent opposition with interplay.
Spain--> Tiki Taka Tiki Taka Tiki Taka.
England--> Physical. Direct. Pace. Power.
France--> Power midfield with efficient forwards/wingers(Makelele, Kante, Zidane, Pogba, Ribery/Henry/Mbappe).
Uruguay--> Physical. Disruption. take the opportunities and close out.
Croatia--> World class midfielders to maintain position and shape.
Even some of our Asian rivals have identities that are clear.
Japan--> Technical Passing. Patience. Discipline. Well-rounded game.
Saudi Arabia--> Counterattacking, speedy players.
South Korea--> Possession, high chance creation.
We know Iranians in Iran have significant raw talent. "Gol kuchik" allowed so many to be great dribblers that sometimes manifested in a larger game setting(Karimi) despite us needing more than just that to go to the next level. IFF has many problems in implementing anything but if they were competent what long term plans would you want them to set? I will add a poll as to what kind of football you would want Iran to play. Please be as specific as possible and avoid "black and white"(CQ vs Skocic).
