Persian Gulf Pro League 2022-23

[Nokhodi]

Excellent discussion from the football 360 podcast as to why we had such a low scoring league last year.

- poor fields (I feel this is not a key issue as most of the fields are better than 10 years ago when we had more goals
- conservative coaches
- lack of playmaking midfielders
- extremely physical league. The fellow from Metrica (football data company in Iran) made a really interesting point that when they compared the number of challenges in our league to Iraq’s , we had something like 30 % (or was it 3x) more challenges. He said based on stats we have one of, if not the most physical league in Asia.

It’s in Persian and you can listen here

goals without assists will explode as soon as we let women in to the stadiums. everybody will go on impress-mode no-pass only AK8 style ronaldinho dribble mode.
you will se cb go on dribble raids in other teams penalty area, goalkeepers up trying to score at every corner.. also everybody will be walking around the pitch and itching their balls all the time..

Yasin Salmani starting for Sepahan.

Mehdi Ghayedi coming back to Esteghlal - official.

With the bone-headed move by Mohammad Mohebi to come to Esteghlal from Santa Clara - he may not even be preferred with Ghayedi coming back!

That first half of Esteghlal V Sepahan was brutal to watch. I'll toss this up to the squad and players being new.

The problem is that we are trying to play a structure style of football which is more modern but we do not have the quality of fields to perform those tactics. Back in the day we had no structure and our plays were better suited for the conditions we had.

TEHRANTO! Do you not know not know how to reply back??? You haven't been replying to any of my messages!

[Nokhodi]

Esteghlal has conceded on 2 counters.
Salmani and Rezaeian the goal scorers.

Well that was embarassing. Haven’t seen us play this bad since Fekri days :/
We need to bounce back quickly.

I was shocked at the result considering SS didn't lose a single game last year and added more talent...
I think it'll take a few games for all the attackers to get chemistry together before getting it going

[Ostad_Goosfand]

i am guessing mohebi and kaveh rezaei did not even play, right? once they are settled in a front 3 of ghaedi, rezaei, mohebi will be lethal with shabazzadeh, babaei, motahari and even ramezani on the bench.

[oracle]

yasin and ramin played good
and scored goal in front of skocic.
IF THESE 2 CONTINUE
PLAYING LIKE THIS BOTH
SHOULD GET TM CALL UP
since our mf is missing a playmaker
and our rb sucks.
i hope skocic when he go to these
matches is not for food BUT
REALLY PAY ATTENTION AND HAVE
balls to invite good players.
these positions in my opinion
is up for startng line up grab.

goali
rb
lb
1 cb if pag shines
3 spots in the midfield

thats total of 7 spots.

set on stone starters
are kanani, jb,sardar and mehdi.

also sepahan coach if shines
CAN WE TAKE HIM TO TE WC
LOL..

Jurgen Lukadia former PSV, Bochum, Brighton join Persepolis. He is 28 and has a quite decent resume.

Skocic was in the stadium to watch SS/Sepahan and Zobahan/PP. I guess he were there to supervise his idols : Noorafkan, Sarlak, Kamynabinia and Rafiei
