Shahab left Japan in May to receive treatment in his native Iran, it has been the first time in about a month and a half that the actual recovery has been adjusted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been about a year, but I\u2019ve finally started rehabilitating.\u201d Zahedi, who had long been ill, was diagnosed with a bilateral groin hernia and underwent surgery at a hospital in the capital Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>After the surgery, he recovered well, but at the end of his stay, a conflict with Israel broke out in Iran. The day-to-day life turned into a tense one. &#8221; The war began and Tehran was targeted. In fact, there were situations where rockets and missiles flew, and many people, including myself, were forced to evacuate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The flight on June 19th, which was scheduled to return to Japan, was canceled, and the departure date was pushed forward. It stopped flying, so I moved a little earlier.\u201d It took twelve to thirteen hours by car from Tehran to the Turkish border, and after crossing the border, I took a taxi to Istanbul and then flew back to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI arrived in Tokyo at seven o\u2019clock on the 20th. There was no more flight to Fukuoka at that time, so I came back the next day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The family is currently evacuating to their native Mariah. There were some missiles and attacks there, but it is less than Tehran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the reason why I decided to return to Fukuoka despite the difficult situation, &#8220;There were some difficult parts when thinking about my family, but I want to concentrate on my work as a professional. I had a strong desire to commit to work,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am truly grateful for the many messages from the fans of Avispa. I would like to thank the people who supported me, saying, &#8220;I would like to thank the people who supported me in the difficult situation of the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, &#8220;As an Iranian, I hope that peace will come not only to Iran but also to the world.&#8221; The day is near when the striker, who returned after overcoming an injury and a war, will again lead Fukuoka&#8217;s attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Docomo.ne.jp &#8211; FUKUOKA, J1 Fukuoka&#8217;s FW Shahab Zahedi (29) rejoined the team practice held at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":51198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,212,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iranian-legionnaires","category-c22-players-spotlight"],"views":1724,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53592","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\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53592"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53593,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53592\/revisions\/53593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
