Ali Daei's legend is being destroyed, and has been going on, systematically, for sometime now
but not by his own hand.... at least not only by him.
by another person, whose wrong decisions and mentality has brought us to this point.
I also feel bad for this legend who never saw when to retain his greatness and quit.
but to come to the present, I must say I feel very bad for him, as many ppl blame him for Iran's loss !!
this is extremely unfair.
yes, he shd have ran more and got involved with offense more.
yes, he shd have been subbed.
but when we look realistically, we see it is not him who decides who to start, who to sub in and out.
just as branko has systematically ruined the image of daei in the past 2 years, we saw the final blow to our greatest player in history, during the mexico game.
for years, branko's idiotic and wimpy nature refused to allow changing of daei on many occasions that his services were not required. ( the few times he did, were either due to other reasons, such as daei resting from injuries or too little too late cases ).
this made daei's presence on the pitch a sensitive matter to all fans.
fans saw daei playing and started blaming and cursing him!
they never saw why he was kept as starter to play teams like guam, laos, panama, .... !!
they just didnt bother.
they saw players like khatibi, enayati, ... sit on the bench and daei play in these games, and they targetted the wrong man for their hate.
in our last game, also, many blame daei for the loss.
why?
how?
did he score on us?
did he make mistakes just as yahya and nosrati did in our warm up games against bosnia and croatia and .... ?
then why attack him?
yes, he didnt do much.
but we cant say he didnt do anything.
he did join in the defense a bit and acted more like a central mid , rather than center forward.
yes, the wrong role for the wrong player.
but did HE choose this role?
once again, branko has dealt a dirty hand to daei and damaged him even more !
instead of acting like an intelligent coach , and recognizing the need of the team, which was pace and fresh legs, he chose to continue the destruction of daei by persisting with him while he was reduced to a man walking on the pitch !
lets be fair and realistic.
WHO is to be blamed if a player ( whoever it may be ) , inspite of not helping the team anywhichway, is retained till the end of the game?
lets not fall for mob mentality.
lets look a bit deeper and not be superficial.
