Sardar: I may leave TM after the WC2018 if Iranians are not happy with me

[Pedram123]

No he didn't play as good as you are making it out to be, but maybe he didn't play as bad as others are making it out to be either.
Their was definitely IMO not much note-worthy from him, and I think i could list at least 6 or 7 players who were better if i was bothered.

I agree with your post, except the part "inconsistent recent performance". I disagree! He fit well into CQs tactics and did exactly what he was asked to do and also always kept Spanish and Moroccan defenders busy with an eye on him, i.e. creating space for others like Taremi to come forward!
This in my books is perfect execution of his duties!

wallah man ke as sardar azmoun bishtar doidam tu russia....he have to attack also in defense mode. not just waiting for crosses to head in masalan..

Although I'm not too happy with Sardar's recent inconsistent performance, I think it's pretty messed up for people to hate on him on his social media account.
A: It's a 8===D thing to do. Like don't be harassing people. You don't like his performance? complain about it here with other fans, no reason why he or any other athletes should be bombarded by hate directly.
B: Do you really want to destroy the morale of your starting striker before do-or-die match?

I feel sorry for him that he was labelled with the silly 'Iranian Messi' , it just put extra pressure on him. He just needs to be himself , I searched what people were saying and there was the usual idiots who only talk about football every four years but then I found real football fans who were praising his game. His strength and link play, how he holds the ball up, there was some very impressed Liverpool fans going this is why we were linked with him.

Messi is out, but Sardar and TM is going thru from the group.

[GolfePersique]

He has shown his top quality against top opposition in UEFA CL. However, he plays in a system which does not provide him much service(both in TM and Kazan)

We all saw how ineffective Messi was without any support from his team, but we can’t say he’s no longer a top player.

Yes, it is expected from him to show something special in this World Cup, but how many good balls has he received apart from the pass from Amiri vs Morocco? He is not a type of solo striker to create a chance out of nothing, but a center forward who thrives on receiving decent assistance.

[rouzbahani]

no is definetly not a top player now, definetly not. He is a good young player but very far from being a top player.

i called it before the world cup. social media would end up being a huge distraction for our players. and here it is. CQ should monitor it or create rules. i'm sure other teams have done so.

Great idea. Messengers for communications with friends and family and social media are part of the same service. A strict ban would dictate that CQ should refrain from using his FB page too. Players should be treated as grown ups and responsible set of rules on the use of instagram, Twitter etc. should be adhered to without the need to Ban them.

sardar needs to ignore the bisavad idiots. Sardar needs to realize that Iran has a rich history but Iranians especially those that live in Iran are socially unprofessional. They feel entitled and consider themselves experts on every subject, yet they know nothing. You can't expect those that atack messi and pique's social media pages to understand how hard he works every game. Sardar wasn't at his best the first game, maybe first game jitters, maybe he didn't have his Nike cleats or a combination, but his effort wasn't lacking. he played really well against spain. He won so many aerial battles and he was urging the rest of the team to help him press up top when we fell behind. He would come all the way back to our 18 yard box to defend. Sardar is by far our best forward. His class is above the rest. Let's all support sardar. He is a young very emotional kid. Our support won't hurt. Sardar doostet dareem. To behtarin forwarde irani. Mesle ali daei bash vah be mardome namaknashnase kam aghl mahal nazar. To namayandeye 80 million nafaree. basavadha, bisavadha, bafarhanga, bifarhnaga, footballistha, gambooha vah hameh. Ba Arezooyeh movaffaghiat avval baraye team melli va baad barayeh sardar.

That www.hitc.com article is a bag of crap, their articles are usually terrible and just picked up rumours from other sites.

Azmoun did his job perfectly. he won the aerial battles and hustled. Running short of 10k - he wasn't exactly shirking his responsibility, i saw in the stadium how much he fought and defended from the front. People can post clips of him getting a little exhausted towards the end but you can't blame him from getting physically tired.

There is literally no grounds to criticise him in the current system that we need to play to maximise our chances of getting points from this group. He must start against Portugal unless he is tired, and I'm sure he will. we have no other striker anywhere near him.

The problem is, as we know, that he is psychologically frail like Morata and someone just needs to help him rationalise what is happening and the context. He may be reading articles on the internet which make him anxious. Someone should just switch it off and relax him a bit: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/06/21...-chance-of-wo/

CQ should go back to a no phone policy for the players.
