Saeid Ezatolahi @ FC Rostov 2019-2020

[mehdi13]

I could not find any such report when I searched Ezatolahi (in Russian) on Sport-Express.ru. There is only the Tasnim article which refers to Sport-Express.ru but doesn’t provide a link. A few weeks ago Tasnim reported that he was out of contract.

At the time of this post there is a video in Malavan’s Instagram story posted 4 hours ago that show Saeed at a training session. This is also in Saeed’s story. He also added a photo of him, from Malavan training, with the caption “don’t look back, you are not going that way.”

Since the day the sport of football was invented, There have been countless examples of young promising players whose careers fizzled out as they entered their mid-20s. I don't see why Saeid would be exempt from this. The kid has played 32 professional matches in 8 seasons! I repeat 32 games in 8 seasons!
Maybe, just maybe... playing in Athletico Madrid's youth team for a couple months over 6 years ago, shouldn't get him a spot in a national team for the rest of his career.
As it stands those "forever IPL players" are in better shape, and have done more in the past two years to deserve a spot than Ezzi.
And before anyone brings up, injuries and other excuses for him... how about we wait for him to play full season of football before we rely on him as our main CM for the national team.

He has very often be reliable for our national team. This + Training and having zero playing time in Europe is more valuable than being Ballon d'or in the mickey mouse league called IPL. Of course it doesn't apply to huge talents playing in IPL and aiming to move in Europe (like Allahyar). But the list you wrote isn't in this case. I don't see any of these playing in Europe one day.

Srsly? The alternative to a guy playing in various league of europe from 18 y.o are some forever IPL players?

According to TransferMarket, his agent is his relative. That alone should explain why his career is in the shape that it is.

Honestly, Rostov is the best case scenario for him. I was expecting him to be back in Iran, playing for Teractor or Sepahan.

Either way, I hope TM moves on from him... for now at least. We have Nourollahi, Ali Karimi, Abdollahzadeh, Farshid Bagheri, etc... that can easily replace him at this point of his career.

Unfortunately it looks like the kid either has mental/maturity issues, very poor representation, or both. the talent's there for all to see. if his career goes down the tubes i'd rank this as the greatest waste of career potential in TM history. truly astonishing. he had the guidance (or motivation) to push for an unusually (by iranian standards) early entree into Europe. Worked his way into TM starting role at a young age. and then fell off like a ton of bricks.

He signs a contract extension and he is guaranteed a job, I’m guessing he hasn’t been on crazy money during his career and due to not playing much he maybe hasn’t got that much attention from other clubs so this gives him somewhere to play instead of going back to Iran which many on here would see as a negative.
On Rostov’s side it means that they get to keep him as a player and get a fee for him if they decide to sell him if interest comes. Also maybe they see the quality in him and know that if he sorts his fitness he can be a very good player for him.
Well done on the new contract to him, now hopefully he starts to sort his fitness out and puts all his focus into training and getting back on to the pitch.

Goes both ways no? I'm pretty sure he has to sign the contract as well? Sometimes you have those one sided automatic extensions, but the total contract length can't be longer than 5 years total.

Anyhow, with the way things are progressing he probably should be happy that he has a contract somewhere. I don't see many clubs offering him a good paycheck in his current form.

Why Rostov extended his contract while leaving out the squad or loaning him every season?

yep
if that aint shady....i dont know what is ??

Russian site Sport-express.ru has reported that Ezatolahi has returned to Rostov.

I honestly think Qatar is a better league than Iran at this point. Iran's league is an absolute mess and I'm sure no legionnaire wants to get paid in tomans right now lol

The danger with going to Qatar is that the money there is so good that he will lose the motivation to move to a leagues in for example Portugal, Belgium or Holland. Taremi is a very ambitious guy that is why he left for a small club such as Rio Ave where he gets paid much less than in Qatar. I don't see the same ambition in Ezatolahi as that I see in Taremi and Jahanbaksh, and even Taremi wasted years playing in Qatar due to its good money or otherwise he might've played for a club such as Olympique Lyon by now. The Qatarese league is a retirement league, a young talented Iranian player has no business going there imo. Playing in Iran will give Ezatolahi the motivation to get back in shape, play well for TM and then move back to Europe once there is interest again.

Ezatolahi would do great in the Portuguese league. Holland would suit his playing style as well. If he doesn't get an offer in Europe he should go back to Iran (not to another club in Asia) Esteghlal or Sepahan are good clubs for him to get back on track.
