Shahab Zahedi @ Zorya Luhansk FC | 2021-2022

[Kiarash]

Anything better than Iran or Qatar.

I wouldn’t be angry if Zahedi ended up at Ponf with Abedzadeh, their main striker is 39 and they are starting to cement their play in place off spots.
I’ve also said before that USG would be a good move too, under a good coach and looking like Champs League next season.

Ya Marítimo ham badak nist.

Charleroi ham bere bademoon nemiyaad.

Not to get too off topic here, but US intelligence also predicted that Iraqis would greet US soldiers with flowers as "liberators". Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Pentagon was convinced Army would be greeted with 'flowers on rifles'

This “intelligence” is a puff, delusional piece. Difference between propaganda for domestic consumption and something imminent. Either way, we were both against US’s war in Iraq - so we can move on. This warning was legit and clear as day that it was going to happen.

Feel for Shahab, his parents must be terrified.

Even Ukrainian president claimed situation was under control and no war was imminent so difficult to see how players could gamble and leave country, breaking their contracts in the process.

Certainly much higher profile figures in Ukrainian football, like shakhtars extremely highly rated young Italian coach are stuck there.

Shahab is a tough guy. Sure he will be ok mentally...and on bright side he might have chance to get released and secure solid transfer. Remember that Portuguese teams, real valldolid, and some others were looking at him. That was before conference league goals too.

I think there are probably ground for such contract situations given that we are in WC year, plauers must be playing regularly to be in contention for their NT, and this indefinite suspension of league puts that in huge jeopardy

Well, if he was to believe some who dubbed the intelligence as "US Propaganda" - then why would he move? The writing was on the wall of what Russia was going to do. Started back in 2014.
Quite frankly, still shocked at how in just one day they are at the doorsteps of Kyiv. Honestly, outside US intelligence, no one could have predicted today’s events.

He should’ve got out of the fucking Dodge earlier when he had a chance the SNAFU hinted enough that there wasn’t gonna be any football action for a while, even if they Russians didn’t invade..!?

For now, this is operational plan, he should stay away




Of Southfront

[diz]

Unless he plans to leave by foot, car, or horse, he's not getting out. This is the air traffic over Ukraine right now

[inarsenewetrust]

per himself and other foreign players/coaches there is no way to exit currently...

No air travel, and nearest border crossing to Poland is one of the most unsecured zones. Looks like he will be staying put in wherever they are based for the time being...

BTW league is suspended indefinitely.

[DR Strangemoosh]

I hope Shahab's exit can be swift and he doesn't get caught up in anything. Safest thing is to get out now

[O-ZoNe]

Somewhat related to Shahab. Brazilian players plead for assistance to get it of Ukraine...

Brazilian players in Ukraine plead for help: 'There's no way we can get out'

I am assuming he lives in the West - enjoys everything about it but critical of Western nations. Nothing wrong to be critical but if you support the likes of IR Iran or China, go live there! Until then, you’re a walking contradiction.

taremiscores jaan, isn’t that the point of democracy. People everywhere they live have the human and civil rights to criticize their governments. Now some countries recognize those rights through their laws (relatively speaking) like many countries in the west and some don’t like IR. One of the main reasons I live in the U.S. is that I can criticize my government at all levels and try to peacefully change it if I don’t like it. Russia has no right to invade Ukraine yet U.S. promised to the former Soviet Union when it was falling apart that East European countries will not join NATO and they reneged. That doesn’t justify war and invasion yet Putin is not the only one at fault here. Both you and Farzadfarhangi are sensible forum participants and there is no need for unnecessary frictions.

Now back to football.

Go Shahab, get out of Ukraine!
