Whats with Iranian talents only going to Russia??!!

[eerooni]

Is this what we really want from our players who become legionnaires to go to Russia and stay there?.. I know its better than IPL by light years but why only Russia???


Tasnim – KAZAN, Russian top-flight club Rubin Kazan has completed the signing of Iranian midfielder Reza Shekari on Thursday.

The 19-year-old player is reunited with Iranian international striker Sardar Azmoun in Rubin Kazan.

The footballer is widely considered as one of the brightest youngsters in Iran.

In 2015, he was named by British newspapers The Guardian as one of the 50 most exciting young talents in world football.

Shekari had already caught the eye of English premier league side Leicester City and Swiss club FC Basel.

The rising star has also represented Iran at youth levels.

Let's also admit that European clubs aren't fighting over Iranian talent. Smaller Russian clubs can afford Iranian players that are up and coming. The larger Russian clubs don't care about Iranian players.

Also, some of the prominent players in European football today also started off in smaller leagues and clubs before making it to the big scene. Willian, Kalinic, Sosa, Paulinho etc.

We have to accept our position in the value chain.

Haha, what's the matter sweetheart? Do you honestly think Sardar is ready to play in teams like Barcelona or Tottenham at this point in time? Or are you laughing at my use of the word 'prominent' in this context?

I was referring to the major clubs in the capital and to Zenit mainly, but you're right. Rubin is still a large club, but perhaps not as large as CSKA, Zenit, Spartak or Lokomotiv Moscow.

It is wonderful to have an Iranian player when a new Iranian player joins a team. Older players can be a mentor and show the younger players the way.

In general, there are many factors to play outside of one's country. I wish our players do not forget their home country and give back when they are able to.

Cheers.

Greece and Russia seem to be the only countries scouting our players. They have control of the European market as no one else is really competing for our players that much it seems

[saeed_noro]

via Europa league and champions league from russian and greece teams, they can jump higher to other european teams. i see it as perfect, also the world cup is in russia, this is or can be a good and huge advantage for our players and enviroment. still they are young, 3 years russia, than to european top 5 leagues is perfect.

Historically and in terms of past reputation, you are right, but since the titles in 2008-2010 they are generally considered to be on-par with the top tier, particularly with the money poured into club. I would argue that they are bigger than lokomotiv now.

Cool. Thanks for the clarification.

if Berdyev give them the permission to leave...

Everybody are praising Greece and Russia leagues for investing on iranians but unfortunately only one team of each league is interested in iranians : Berdyev FC (Rubin, Rostov or anywhere he is coaching) and Panionios (who wake up one day, investing on Ansarifard and staying loyal to them). Unfortunately I don't see a general trend like in Germany in 98-2000 when plenty of their clubs had an iranian player.

- MilMo is the exception
- Saeid is discovering every russian (bottom ranked) teams, but mainly thanks to Rostov and their network.
- Ansarifard was a typical "bayern" purchase : the dominant team buy the best players of their direct competitor to weaken them. They throw the player shortly after like a dirty tissue.

I am sorry but :
- after watching closely Azmoun, Milmo talents, no russian clubs (except Berdyev FC) were after an iranian player. Anzhi didn't retain Saeid.
- after watching closely Ansarifard, Shojaei, HajiSafi, no greek clubs (except Iranionios) were after an iranian player. Don't tell me Taremi. First he is not in Greece, and Iranian talent isn't only Taremi.
- after watching closely JB, no dutch clubs were after an iranian player. Worst than Greece and Russian, even dutch clubs with positive experience with Iranian (NEC and AZ) didn't purchase an other one!
