Vahid Amiri appreciation thread

New PFDC rule: any trash talking about Vahid Amiri results in an automatic 2 week ban

His fitness honestly hasn’t slowed down since I’ve seen him play in team Melli. I’ve been critical of him before but always admired his stamina.

true, hardly have i seen him in less than Peak level of personal fitness and i was even more @ awe and blown away by his insane level of resolute, confidence and just that Winner's Mentality, from the first time i saw him in action in TM till now, No matter who we have been facing @ whatever competitive setting..!!
ps
i too was critical of his rather visionless and not so clever General style of play back in his early years in TM..! He started out being a lot more of your typical Sarpaayeeni and khardoie type iranian domestic player... but over the years he really improved tremendously on that front...! still occasionally he resorts to die hard old playing habits of him but his often tremendous work-rate on the pitch masks and makes back up for much of his mistakes on that front..!
He is truly a much worthier Captain material than anyone else in current squad..!!

[BacheLot]

He was our best player in all games in the WC, especially the first 2 games.

indeed him and mehdi imo..!!
another proof that World Cup is the survival of FITTEST..!! You want to have an impact in those dogEatDog games you better be in your Utmost Personal Fitness Levels and go out and play your hearts out for the entirety of rather limited game times afforded to you..!!
beast performance of Ando at WC06 is another shining example ... dude came outa nowhere to become our Best WC performer well ahead of many other much higher profile TM players at that time, AK8, Mahdavikia, Daie, Rezaie, etc..!!

[Nokhodi]

indeed
Best performance against any TM opponent ever from my recollections..!!
he hardly set a foot wrong and besides his LB duties he almost totally picked up the slack left behind from Mehdi's absence down LW and made Ahmad Nour look much better in his playing position near him on LCM and picked up much of his defensive duties for him too..!!
Fucking Hell with Roy Kent ...!I was cheering AMIRI...AMIRI.... He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where..!

He is also very cerebral. Not only has multiple degrees including a law degree, he studies English on his laptop (or tablet) in the airplane while many of our stars are playing games on theirs or playing gol ya pooch. This is a quality that is essential to becoming a great coach in the future. With his amazing conditioning, he keeps getting better. If he continue like this, not only he could help in us in WC 2022, I think he could also be crucial to our AC 2023 campaign.

Go Amiri!

yea, he is getting up there in age and got a ton of mileage on him by now and still A lot is asked of him to cover in TM matches ... makes u wonder about his continued longevity..?

the bold especially is true, and even more impressive is the man's unshakable resolve and Supreme Confidence in his game approach and own abilities .... it dont matter if you assign him to Messi or Ronaldo, he'll go right at them smash mouth football style..!! that layee of the spanish player at WC18 is a prime example..!

he had a rough going in our last WCQ but he that didnt stop him from still hustling for 90 strong..! 💪

He was excellent in round 2 of our WCQ and most of these games (except v UAE). He builds up alot of play and intercepts the ball in key spots.
Not to mention, he can win most 1 on 1 physical battles.
Guys like him are a must in any team.

Amiri is a tank! Consistently plays well and works his tail off. only concern is how long we can lean on him.

Amiri was a tank. Consistent as always. Even at his worst games he's still fairly reliable.

Too many haters still.

[inarsenewetrust]

I wish Persepolis would actually develop one or two young (god forbid) players to let him rest once a month at least before or after tm games.

I hope that he hasn’t ran himself into the ground playing every minute of every game ever before wc

[mahestan]

I still remember the nutmeg he delivered Pique in WC 2018. Amiri is a machine.
