Mehdi Taremi @ Olympiacos | 2025-26

Goal Mehdi!

For the life of me don’t why Taremi chose the Greek league.

Holland, Belgium, Turkey, and even going back to Portugal would’ve been better. Like, what was even the point of playing in the Serie A for one season, only to completely plummet to the Greek league?

I think a multitude of factors (in no particular order)
- salary
- UCL exposure
- proximity to Iran
- a coach who is willing to do load management considering his injury history
- lifestyle

F this team and league. Never forget the season ansarifard finished top goal scorer and then next season they didn’t even name him to the CL squad.

Generally I'm a defender of Mehdi and understand he's just gotten older and is also dealing with a nasty case of pubalgia.

But..yeah no...his G/A so far has been mostly against the bottom of the league and Greek 2nd division teams in the cup. His most important goal so far has been against a mid table team.

Everytime he comes on during CL matches he's the slowest player on the pitch (even if he's subbed on fresh at min 70).

The coach hasn't really trusted him with any important moments for us to say he's been excellent.

Of course he's still a good player but he's not the player he was even 1-2 years ago.

I agree his CL performances have been poor so far.

But he has 7 goal contributions in about 270 minutes of play. That’s superb. It’s unfair to devalue that based on their opposition.

He’s definitely lost a step but his intelligence and IQ is still top notch.

Yeah, but that’s to no fault of his own. Statistically, he’s been excellent.

He played only 90 minutes from last 4 match! He is finished.

this goozoo coach needs to get away from his favored 4231 and get mehdi mixed in the regular playing starters somehow if they wanna realize their full potential as team..!!

2-1 now , ref rewards kos with a soft pk call and el kaabi converts
