Iran - Russia Friendly Thread

[Artaxerxes]

This is a regurgitated point by a lot of the older folks here, and with all due respect is so wrong.

ARJ has been clueless 18 out of the last 24 months while we have Allahyar in Belgium who is starting. Sure he gets injured often but he was ignored last season with 15 g/a under his belt. Its not debatable I'm sorry

We have a cohort of young players who can right NOW replace 3-4 starters and have a year of TM experience going into the WC.

Zare -> Shoja is a literal clear upgrade. Zare is taller, more physical, and a better passer. Maybe his long balls aren't that good? But he's 21 and can develop.

Hosseinejad -> Ghoddos is also clear. Ghoddos is so washed and recently his form is awful. There is almost nothing the guy offers anymore.

Khalife -> Beiranvand is also a clear choice. Yeah Khalife is more raw, but he's hungrier, same profile, and has potential to get better with experience. Beiro is literally checked out mentally since 2020 Belgium return.

Not to mention we can add players like Koushki who are technical and decent subs. We have some left back kids like Seifi playing for Shabab Al-Ahli in the ACL, so there is no justification for someone like Nemati to even be near the left back position.

You have good points but this will never happen under our cholo kabab antar for a coach.
