Aria Barzegar @ Kairat Almaty | 2022

[taremiscores]

If this is happening under the suggestion of Zenit, this is a great move. If they are monitoring and advising him. This will help him.

It also seems that Nuraly Alip (22 yo, Kairat player) will also get a loan to Zenit. So the club has a working relationship. He is only 19. If he was mid to late 20s, I get it. But he is on Zenit’s radar at a young age.

His manager has major links to the RPL as well. If he can get to Russia in the next year or so, that’s good progress.

For those who have forgotten, Kairat beat AZ 3-2 on aggregate in a EL qualifier back in 2018 (when ARJ left). They are one of the best teams in Kazachstan.

Are we sure it's not just a part of his development strategy for PP? He can develop for approximately 20 years and then head back to PP at a solid 38 years of age ready to begin his illustrious PGPL career herding shotors.

[Medzdidz]

Good experience for him, gives him chance to be out of his comfort zone which will give him good competencies and resilience at a young age. Also playing under a coach that has developed young talent. No continental competition for Persepolis this year so less games for him to get a chance to start a game.

How is that even a remotely controversial point lol? Hala if he was getting regular minutes for Perspolis and then got shipped of to kazakhstan that might be a crappy move. But clearly wasnt the case...

Matter fact he moved from Perspolis (2021 on loan transfer) to farj and now to Kairat Almaty . I know he wasn't getting any minutes in PP, LOL BUT maybe because he was 17-18 years old but he should've stayed and fight for a spot in PP and then move to better league (IF) he had the potential. he has been doing great for our U23 so lets hope this move doesn't destroy his career.

After checking few articles about his depature from PP, it seems that he wants to get some play time and possibly come back to PP for a spot. He still got one year left on his contract with PP and this move will be a loan transfer (if it happens).


Also keep in mind that its not even 100% that he will get playing time in the kazakh team, so its very risky move IMO.

IMO he should've stayed in PP and fight for the lineup spot.

They joined Europe for almost 2 decades i believe.
And for some younger kids information here. Last time we played them we beat them 4-0
2x Daei, 2x Vahid @1998 asian games
Just say alot about the quality of the team...

Last time we played them was in 2000 in WAFF championship. and we won 3 - 0 . ali karimi scored 2 and vahid hashemian scored 1.
and yes they changed to europe back in 2002 . Still lower than most asian leagues.

[inarsenewetrust]

Again, nobody is advocating for strength of team/kazakh league or getting very excited about his chances of making it big time...

Only point being made is that :

for a player who wasn't even making 18 man squad of relegation candidate fajr sepasi, to now be managed by reputable coach and talent developer like Berdyev, with potential view to joining zenit (like Kairat young CB did this winter) isnt really a bad situation. It is better than whatever he was doing in iran (Which was quite literally nothing)...

How is that even a remotely controversial point lol? Hala if he was getting regular minutes for Perspolis and then got shipped of to kazakhstan that might be a crappy move. But clearly wasnt the case...

Kairat Almaty is a kazakhstani club . kazakhstan is in asia so not even lower tier european league. I don't maybe he can progress from there to lower european league . I think if he was any good sepahan , SS or PP would fight over him?


btw: We played kazakhstan in WAFF Championship and won 3-0 .

^^^ A team which got 2 points in a group with unknown Cyprus side and Qarabaq and finished dead last. while half a$$ Azeri side got 11...!!!
Yeah, sure it is called Europe. Lol
Even mid table IPL team is better than them.
Now if he plays regularly at 19, that is ok but warming the bench in such a shitty team is no different than warming the bench in PP or any other team in IPL.

Shahab Zahedi was in an even smaller club in Iceland.

For a 19 year old, a Conference League club (albeit in a small league) isn’t something to just scoff at. Especially considering we’ve known for quite some time now about Aria and his potential. If this is an official and permanent move, it definitely warrants its own thread for following his progression

[rdwrrr]

Any player leaving the security of the home country at age 19 is a big deal. It will help them grow up faster.

He might just check our posts and get happy.

Aria, if you are reading my post, More power to you.

Good luck.

[PEJ]

Just hope Berdyev doesn’t have the same voodoo spell he had over Sardar.

[Iran_19]

Same shit different smell...

tokhmi is sitting on the bench for fajr sepasi tbf. Being coached by berdyev in Europa Conference League team cant be worse than that for his development
