Ali Karimi Interview - Explaining why he left TM

[Babak]

To me it sounds like this zakhar is taking indirect shots not only at Nekounam, but also CQ. Also surprising to see that he'd come out publicy and say he hopes Khanzadeh's 9 month ban isn't reduced.

من بسیار برای علی* کریمی* احترام قائل هستم.ولی* این رفتار او را بسیار غیر حرفیی* و از روی نادانی* میبینم.آخه توی این موقعیّت حساس تیم* ملی* را رها کردن نشون دهندهٔ این است که هنوز با وجود بازی کردن در آلمان یاد نگرفته است که در چه موقع و چه مورد حساسی در کنار تیم* ملیش بماند

[eerooni]

AK TALKS ABOUT HOW INCOMPETENT IFF & KAFASHIAN IS AND THEN THE IDIOT GETS ELECTED AS AFC VP!!!?? HE DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH FOR GODS SAKES!!!!

[AranTZ]

AK for president!

SARVAR Ali Karimi eshghast

[AminGP]

Karimi is truly a legend, this is another reason why he is one our biggest footballing legends, he dares to say whatever that is on his mind and point out the corruption!

I agree. He can use his popularity and influence and put it in a good use and make some serious changes in our football though. By staying in sideline you're not gonna change anything.

How sad is it to hear these things, really shows us what a mess we are in.

Sad that this has become a war between TM Players and Staff vs. our own federation. I'm pretty sure these IFF clowns release these bs rumors trying to make our players and staff look greedy and rude to cover their own asses.

So sad. Truly our football will suffer while these guys who would be cleaning toilets in 1978 are now running a damn football federation.

Our football federation is poisoning out team, and we sit here blaming CQ, Nekounam, Shojaei, etc.

What do you people expect from our team when we have worse kits and facilities than war-torn countries like Afghanistan?

And we're still #1 in Asia.

Shaking my damn head at people like clipsport who probably work for IFF trying to divert attention away from the real deep rooted problems. It's funny that everyone in our football seems to blame IFF but themselves, yet we have experts here on our forum agreeing with IFF. I guess we have some jealous former toilet cleaners and window washers on PFDC too.

From AK8's mouth. Joachim Lowe couldn't even get success in TM. What does that say about Karimi's opinion of CQ. I personally will trust all of TM and Karimi's opinion of CQ over clipsport's. Sorry buddy, but your idea that the players lie to save their place in the team is bs, since AK8 has nothing to lose now that he is retired. But hopefully clipsport will come on and say he is smarter and understands our football more than AK8. We need a good laugh.

Thanks to Amin for his translation. MOTM for sure.

Viva AK8, Viva TM.

Death to IFF. Tear that organization down and rebuild from scratch with AK8 and others like him in charge.

[AminGP]

essentially he said what CQ has been saying all this time.

It shows how patient CQ is really. When someone like Ali Karimi who has grown up in Iran and is familiar with IFF's attitude can't take their shit, imagine what CQ must be going through.

I disagree with him saying that he's helping TM by leaving though. You could help TM by raising your voice when it's crucial just like what Javad did on 90. You can't run away from problems and expect them to get resolved by themselves. Looks at Kia for example. He knows that there's something wrong with our youth program and he's taking action and making changes.

I just wish that people complained less and took more actions or at least offered solutions. By people I mean influential people like Karimi, Daie etc...
