TM-News-Vol. 5

[perspolis#1]

Oh man those who had the pleasure of not having lived through those torturous days will never appreciate how easy we qualified to 2 back-to-back WCs at such ease and in style.

Losing to Jordan in a packed Azadi, then almost failing against Qatar until the last minutes of the match, thus the unbelievable possibility of bowing out of WC in our first WCQ round! [emoji2299][emoji2299][emoji2299]

We got bailed out by an unusual header from Nikbakht. NIKBAKHT. Karemoon be koja resideh bood

we cant get a big coach, sanctions, iran toman falling everyday, unless the morroco coach come, we will have problems. plus any top coach wanna come iran will call CQ and i dont think cq will give them good review, with all the problems.

Exactly what i've been saying.

He spent 8 years in Iran, so any candidate for TM job will consult with him first. Since these morons actually decided NOT to renew his contract after all he's done, we'll need a miracle to even get a half-decent coach.

lolll seriously ....so sad!

And Hashemian bailed us out against Qatar right? He bailed us out at one point, i remember. - Although he was an awesome, clutch striker

not comparing him to Nikbakht of course, but the fact that we had to be bailed out twice in the earlier rounds when qualifying under branko

I don't get it either! At the time, Nikbakht was our best LAM!

[Nokhodi]

Nikbakht was a frustrating player with good speed but poor football intelligence.
He also was mysteriously "injured" for every major tournament TM had... some think because he was doping.

[DR Strangemoosh]

Nikbakht was an amazing international footballer for 1.5 years and then drove me (and i'm presuming a lot of guys here) nuts for 5 years.

He became this either static or erratic, often both, presence on the left which killed both attack and defence on that side. His lack of interest in his fitness and physical form didn't help...

But the fact is we didn't really have many other options, and our coach for the bulk of his tenure wasn't particularly tactically proficient.

However he made us swear at the TV screen and in the stadium, I will not forget those first 1.5 years and his goal and police salute to King Abdullah, whose reaction was priceless. That stopped us from having our worst qualification campaign in history under former coach Ivankovic (it was the first round of qualifiers). For that, his name will always be in the history books.

It wasn't that he was bad...it was that Nikbakht(a playmaker/winger) had to come on as a sub for Azizi and score a header against a defender in the 80th minute when the rest of our team was not performing. Depending on your view of the goal, it was lucky which is the scary part.

That was against Jordan in Jordan, and I believe right after him Daei scored our second goal.

south korea game is good, but who is our coach?

[Damavand]

The morons in charge did not realize how hard it is to get a high profile coach to come to Iran when they decided not to extend CQs contract.

I would be quite happy with Renard if we can get him. After all the time wasted Taj better not have Branko in mind for the job
