He failed to make a  breakthrough at Fulham though and joined Barnsley on loan.<\/p>\n<p>After  being released by Fulham in July last year, he turned down an offer to  tour Australia with Blackburn Rovers and started negotiating with  Sheffield United. He was also linked with a possible move to Blackburn,  but failed to get the necessary work permit and returned to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Our  national team is a very good side and there are a lot of players who  would be able to play in Europe if they could get the chance,&#8217; he told  reporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So this competition is very important because players can get an opportunity to show themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I would love to go back to Europe. I learnt a lot playing in the Premier League and I miss all the people there.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The  27-year-old said that he was confident Iran would win their final game  against the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday to end the group phase  with nine points. &#8216;We have already played two games and we are thinking  positive. We want to win our third game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I would prefer to play against Australia in the quarter-finals.&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DPA &#8211; Iranian international Anderanik Teymourian said Tuesday that he was hoping to use the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c13-team-melli-news"],"views":3215,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
