A Bola – BARCELO, Iranian forward Ali Alipour follows in Mehdi Taremi’s footsteps in Portugal.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two seasons of visible growth at Mar\u00edtimo, the forward decided to head to Barcelos, tempted by the European project and thinking of improving himself to win a place in the Iran squad for Qatar. A player aware of what he wants, full of praise for the season, and now arrives at Gil Vicente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– How do you evaluate the importance of moving from Mar\u00edtimo to Gil Vicente and what expectations accompany you in the new club?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– I achieved my goals in Mar\u00edtimo, I had to take a step forward to get stronger.\u00a0On this road I’ve traced, I decided that it was important to reach a better-ranked team, playing in Europe.\u00a0I want to prove my conditions and my potential, help Gil Vicente and bring distinctions to the club in Europe.\u00a0I try to succeed, reach higher levels, cherishing playing in the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


– With appeals from other parts, does Portugal have the conditions to help give greater dimension to the career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Portuguese football has a very high level and is very recognized in the world.\u00a0I have very defined goals, I want to walk slowly but directly.\u00a0I don’t think so much about money.\u00a0It’s a bit like Taremi.\u00a0Seeking recognition, playing in the Champions League, trying out Spain or England.\u00a0That’s my bar and what I dream about.\u00a0When I came to Mar\u00edtimo, I lost money, because I had very good offers from China.\u00a0But playing in the Portuguese League was important for the showcase it is, for the good football that you breathe, for being even close to Iran in terms of culture and climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Do you recognize the important role of coach Ricardo Soares in your hiring?\u00a0Have you ever talked about what you expect from you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– I have great respect for all coaches and Portugal has some of the best in the world.\u00a0All good players look for good coaches, so they can complement each other.\u00a0I watched Gil Vicente’s games and, as I said, I felt how the coach controlled the team in a positive way and communicated with the players.\u00a0Whenever I watched the games, the team looked fresh, energetic, and played with strategy.\u00a0That comes from the coach.\u00a0But we didn’t speak directly.\u00a0I am simply honored to be part of your team and your ideas.\u00a0He’s a great trainer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Does continuing your football in Portugal have any kind of expiry date within the career plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The main objective is to play and win the Champions League.\u00a0I don’t know how many years it can take.\u00a0If I can have that chance at a club in Portugal, being part of a team that competes in this competition and that makes me believe in the realization of my dream, I can stay here for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
