TM roster for CAFA 2023

[a_m]

Out of all the young players , why can’t one of them replace Vahid amiri 35 years young yes , but will be 39 at the next World Cup , ehsan and ramin again 33 years young in great form , but will be respectful 37 at the next World Cup , we seriously can’t be considering to go with these 3 players man , we need to replace them and this Tokhmi tournament like this is the perfect opportunity to test new players without worry …. Or they can go but be bench players , the struggle is it is a congested tournament with 3 days rest between 3 intense games at the Workd cup. unfortunately other than only 1 player right now we have with is Taremi no in else on this Roster can play 3 games back to back to back , even the great Ramin had to be rested for the 1st games so he be fresh for the last 2 games …

point is these old tired bodies can’t keep up with young fresh bodies ,,,, and none of these players are at Modric level playing at Real
Madrid !!?!?

look at France Deschamps told Karim
benzama fake and injure so you can at least save your reputation if you don’t want to be on the bench during the World Cup cause I am going to younger players, what did karim achieve in the last year win the laglia , world player of year , top goal scores, won the champions league and still was told the truth , now at 34 he went to Saudi league he knows he is down and he is still better than 99% of the players we have ….


this is the same shit CQ did , you play this old experienced players for all the friendly games , 1 or 2 months before the WC they get injured there replacement will be a 27 with zero caps and they tank bad …..

why not just give other players a chance …

Deschamps issue with Karim wasn't age we all know that! He started Girourd who is older than Benzema!
But your point is valid, no doubt!

Agree!

I am surprised to see the same old same old appearing on the list again! What was the point of inviting so many players to the camp if none was remotely good enough to replace the aging (bacheh akhound) Amiri or other dinosaurs?

The CAFA tournament is an opportunity to test young players not to go backward. It is obvious that the coach just wants to come back with the cup to improve old shady performace image and not thinking about building a team.

Btw What happend to that brilliant left D we used in the dying minutes of the game against USA? Forgot his name!

[Karimi 8]

There is absolutely no point for any legionnaire players to even go to this tournament. No player from Perspolice or Esteghlal should either go.

It should just be all new young players who are going to be tested in three games to see where their level is ….

do we really need Taremi and Sardar to beat Afghanistan????? .

We are not promised any regular friendlies before the Asia Cup. What you're saying is reasonable, but it implies our incompetent football federation would have a plan for the A team to develop and test before the AC. For all we know, this may be all we get. So we should test out some strategies against Asian level opponents.

Which teams are participating in that Jordan Tournament and is it confirmed yet? Haven‘t heard anything about it besides from here

It is not confirmed yet. However, Iranian media keep writing that Team Melli is gonna participate at Jordan Tournament in October for sure. Teams mentioned were Jordan, Iraq, Qatar and Team Melli. Although according to Iranian media, CQ does not want Qatar to face Team Melli.

Lebanon has a full schedule, participating at all friendly tournaments in India (June), Thailand (September), Malaysia (October). Palestine will also be participating in friendly tournament in Malaysia during October. We also know that Kuwait does not want to face Team Melli, probably the same goes with Bahrain. UAE is in the same group as Team Melli in the AFC Asian Cup. Team Melli will most likely play Saudi Arabia in friendly in September.

So in the event Qatar pulls out, their replacement will be either Syria, Oman, Yemen.

Now the question Iranians should ask themselves would be "For October, do they prefer two matches in Jordan Tournament versus likes of Jordan, Iraq, Syria/Yemen or prefer friendly with likes of Japan, Armenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Latvia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras or other teams from Africa or CONCACAF?"


The format is similar to LG Cup, last year's edition had Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Oman.

Looks like Misaghi put pressure on Ghalenoi when he criticized Ghalenoi's Mini Camp list.

I am very disappointed with the squad. CAFA should be aimed at trying new/bench/young players. At least Taremi, Azmoun, Ezatolahi, Beiranvand, Jahanbakhsh, Amiri, Majid Hosseini should have been given rest and not invited.

Incompetent FFIRI last tournament hosted was 2008 WAFF Championship which Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon withdrew. Qatar sent bench players and was hammered 6-1

IRI only knows how to host "Salam Farmandeh" in football stadium, "Ashoora" in streets, "Doaye Komeil" in Hosseiniyehs and mosques, "Namaz Jomeh" in universities, shrines and mosques. So please show respect to all those Tajik, Uzbek and Kyrgyz organizers who have been working day and night to finally launch this tournament.

Having said all this, I agree with you 100% that Team Melli stars and veterans should have been rested and instead go on summer vacation with their families. Team Melli does not need Taremi, Azmoun, Jahanbakhsh, Ezatolahi, Amiri, Hosseini, Beiranvand, Haji Safi to face Afghanistan's new/young/domestic league footballers. Afghanistan did not send their best players to this tournament because most of those abroad refuse to play for a country ruled by Taliban.

Why taking A team to shitty tournament?
GN is scared of results and i don't blame him.
This is how it works, few bad results and you are out!

He has to prepare his team for the Asian Cup. Aside from this tournament, we will probably have 2 more friendlies later in the year vs teams like El-Salvador and Somalia. So when is he supposed to train and prepare his main squad??

Iran_19 jan, beggars can't be choosers.
Not many want to play against TM, especially as the World Cup is so far away.

I think the only other decent friendly I heard about for TM is maybe against Saudi, so TM has to take whatever is offered.

[Iran_19]

You guys are also right
What can i say?

plus, the few relevant younger guys who these games would be great for introducing are with u23. Hazbavi, Fallah, Ghorbani, Yasin.

Only other guys I would really liked to have seen given a chance in these games were Khodabandelou (no idea why he hasnt been given a look, he was great for GN at gol gohar), Aghasi, Sabet Imani from peykan (23) who had a great season as CM, and possibly Omri.

At least he is giving Zahedi and Hosseinzadeh a chance now. Moghanlou had his chance and failed badly last time.

[Iran_19]

I know Moghanlou get lots of critics here but honestly the guy is so underrated, inviting Slow Asadi over him is joke tbh!

I had much higher expectations for moghanlou tbh…didn’t live up to it. Asadi is crap too, hopefully he will get kicked out next for allahyar. Imo Alipour before ACL injury was way better than these guys

[milad_b]

I don't think any experts would suggest bringing young new talents at this point. AC is like 5 months away so IMO build up chemistry with the team and use all of your experienced players.

After AC we have 2 years to bring in new players and create new team for WC with fresh blood. Keep in mind that the WC qualifiers is pretty easy compared to other ones.
