Morteza Pouraliganji @ Shenzhen FC @ 2020-21

I see on his Instagram that he got the COVID vaccine today. Perhaps they didn't want to start him if he was not 100% although they did put him in with 5 minutes to go. What a bad choice to take your vaccine on game day...

Or maybe he got the vaccine after the game. Never mind

He started and played all of the game before I think.

He has been battling injuries the last few months... Is he 100% fit now?

yaroo kheyli aggressive o kalekhareh in his general playing demeanor ....!! as such, i predict he'll be struggling somewhat frequently with injury niggles for most all his career ..?

according to him in the interview, He was waiting on even better offers instead..!!?
but more likely the paypackage still paled in compari$on to what he was being offered to play in Gutter, and he wasnt keen on short term sacrifice in order to challenge himself in the best leagues of the world and dilly dallied too long, in silly and vain hopes of FCB/ManU come begging for his siggi and ended up stuck back in gutter goofing off with a bunch of camel jockeys...!!

He would have rejected Barcelona as he is a die hard real fan and would have left ManU after 6 months because he didn't have playing time etc..

How’s Morteza doing? Any new injury updates on his situation?

Many of our talented players have made poor career decisions. On the other hand we’ve seen many surprises as well. Despite the fact that he never officially transferred to Europe, he is the anchor who took over when Hosseini and Montazeri were on the brink of retirement. He’s still a lion central defender in my book and in Asia. Of course I would have loved to see him play in Europe but this is the path he chose to take.

Get well soon Pahlevan, we need you back in June!

He doesn't have decent people in level of football abilities around him, most likely his brother or Taghi, Naghi are his agent/advisor.

He is better defender than Hosseini, who earn 500-700 K a year, so his contract in Europe was going to be around the same amount after 2018 WC, he was going to earn way more money for his next contract base on his performance.
So even if money was his priority, he wasn't smart enough in long term.

As many have said he is a "bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush" type of person.
He also seems to have been financially responsible for his family from a young age as his father passed away when he was very young.

I haven't listened to the interview, but did he mention that he also had offers when he was in Eupen?
Because according to Amir Hashemi, he did.

I think our players also get really bad advice from those around them. Probably a lot of not of not so knowledgeable people giving him a lot of meaningless info. I think from this pile of mozakhraf is where he got idea he should wait and would get better offers.

After WC he was well positioned. At that time Caen were a midtable ligue 1 team, brighton ofc in PL, and even Genk belgian champions + regulars in CL/EL with great track record of exporting guys (even those at slightly more middle age like PAG was). Even trabzonspor was a solid offer considering he could have formed pairing with Majid which would have been awesome for TM.

These are much better offers than even taremi had when transferring from qatar to europe lol. IMO, PAG is on Taremi's level and if he had backed himself a bit more/had better advice he could have easily transferred from any of those already solid teams to an excellent team, or even once at Eupen made a strong transfer in the summer considering his great form.

Its a big waste in terms of talent, bc honestly from all iranian defenders in recent times (including Jalal, Pejman,Rahman Rezaei) he is the most well rounded and complete. At least for TM he has always been solid but he could have achieved a lot more as we see with taremi now in porto, he was even older when he went to a midtable portuguese team. And last point, 26-30 is really not old for a CB.

[Iran_19]

He fckued his career up big time, you want play in China and Qatar, fine... Play for their best teams for god sake! He was @Al-Sadd when he was 24-25 then his career regressed except a short time in Belgium. He is not old and is not late yet but i don"t really see him make a move to Europe anytime in his career. If he had offer from PL and Le Championnat , he should be a real idiot to reject that even if it was for more money in Qatar and China.
