Our own fans wanted Beiro and Niazmand tossed and flogged for mistakes when they played in Europe.

Come on dadash. Not even comparable.

Suzuki is a young, hard working, and humble keeper who despite his flaws has managed to hold down a starting position in Europe.

Beiro on the other hand is an overrated egomaniac who flopped in two different European countries in his late 20s before returning to Iran. He has shown zero signs of improvement since 2018 and still lacks basic GK fundamentals and take insane unnecessary risks.

Niazmand and Beiro were both almost 30 when they were in Europe....at that age most of your development is already done and you're supposed to be an experience keeper.

Beiro somehow got even worse as he gets older. Brother can barely distribute a ball under pressure without committing a mega sooti

That's awesome! I've discussed this before, that as long as UEFA keeps it's door shut, AFC cannot improve.
AFC needs to be exposed to high level football daily, instead of a few high profile club and national matches every few months.

Don’t think Japan can say no to the Saudi Qatari and emrayti money- it’s these countries that essentially pay to keep this confederation running


I wonder if japan were also unhappy with Kawasaki frontale having to play an acl final in Saudi

I also find it odd how all the Asian playoffs and acl quarters onwards are done in Saudi - they’ve paid off the confederation heavily
