ASIAN CUP 2024 ROSTER announced...sardar in limbo

[OFFSIDE_1]

I am pretty sure our own former pfdc ik member Homan is
in charge of communication with roma per taj request...he speaks great english and he wont make mistakes like othere dumb a. At iff....
i Am sure roma office is close until Tuesday, so by Wednesday should get reply back.....I am sure general cares about this and has lost appetite, and he constantly telling Homan " khiky javab omad".

in all seriousness, the correspondence between two football federation needs to be with through an official lettter signed by the federation, and not through an email. Ofcourse we're talking about IFF and our best hope is that Hooman has heard of ChatGPT or even Bard as he sends emails.

They all chock when it gets to the real test!

if it gets to penalty just turn off the video and get on with whatever you were doing before the game! Less.stressful!

Lol
I don't consider 3rd place match elimination game
not counting 3rd place match pk shoot out
IF I RECALL CORRECTLY
TM HAS NEVER WON A MATCH IN AC IN PK SHOOT OUT in elimination game.

Exactly change channel watch re runs of taxi

[Pluto2000]

For penalties let Taremi, Ansarifard, Kanaani, ARJ, and Ghoddos take them. They have experience at club level for penalties and proven.

Keep Sardar away from penalty box please....his penalty accuracy touch is atrocious

[oracle]

Top 10 PK Takers if we go to pk with this list:

Ansarifard

Taremi

Ramin

Ghoddos

Kanaani

Torabi

Hajsafi

Jahanbaksh

Hosseini

Moghanlu

Karim

Lmao I can imagine us being in a shootout with Korea, it’s 5-4, iran has the last kick to tie the shootout, all of a sudden you see ehsan fabregas step towards the penalty box to take the final shot, this forum explodes

[oracle]

Guy this is tm iran.
we don't have better plaYers than this. This Is it.
This group deserve our respect, and they are very experienced and their confidence is high and they want make us happy...

GN had two options

1) go young and inexperienced
or
2) old and experienced

one option can maybe make us the champions now , the other would give new fresh faces for the Future TM and better options and opportunities for the players in the next World Cup ..

knowing the way GN operates, he doesn’t care about the future , he cares about the here and now ..

I personally see a team that can win all the group games , plus get to the QF with easy , I am just curious as everyone else to see how this team plays against a top ranked Asian such as S.Korea with a good coach such as klinsmann

the only thing that scares me is the depth of this squad is kinda low , you lose a Taremi or Ghoddos ,,, , then we are limited, we have no other options available to us……

i don’t blame Sardar…. He gave all he can sometimes players know when they done ..
He is a good player, but can he be a great player, a player that starts and plays 90 minutes at the highest level of European football , maybe or maybe not , …..

but GN didn’t do us any favors by his players selections at all , he could have selected someone that maybe would have been the next Sardar or Taremi,, or someone who would have been the next (khalizadeh or kanani) , but instead he went with washed up and oldest options he could ….

I dont think Omid ebrahmi or Karim ansarifared or rouzbeh cheshmi with all due respect should even me part of this squad anymore,…

[arj42]

Even if we look at this through the lens of “experienced players are better for winning championships”, and putting age aside, I think the main issue here is SPEED. Against teams like Korea or japan in final, we need speedy players or at least players with lots of stamina, specifically in the midfield. That’s why young players are not necessarily needed for this tournament, but stamina and speed is. If omid ebrahimi had the pace of Ahmad noor, then it wouldn’t be as big an issue. He doesn’t wanna play players that are under 25, that’s fine, but at least bring a couple fast players. Experience doesn’t mean nada when a 5’6 Korean/Japanese winger runs past you before you can even turn around.

TLDR: General chalemeydooni is going for experience, however he should have put more thought into speed, regardless of age

[DR Strangemoosh]

Also, he has royally screwed the next coach and laid the job of finding/testing/incorporating new players to him.

GN's always been about that - possibly more than any other coach

The only ones who took risks to bring in new players over established ones and build the next generation were Queiroz and possibly Daei

Getting a coach who thinks long-term is like gold dust

I don't understand the harsh comment on Azmoun.
People here agree we won't win the AC, we will probably exit in QF even before with the awful list of our sabzi foroosh.
Some were saying his euro career is over with Turkish club even too good for him next season.

He is right to fight for his euro career in a top club, instead of wasting his time for the beautiful belly of an incompetent, in the middle of awful players, for a competition that is already lost before the start

[milad_b]

I don't understand the harsh comment on Azmoun.

He sold out Team Melli ! And then Roma Sold him out to Lukako .

Now he get chos minutes in Roma and will probably get even less chos minutes when abraham the beast is back.

Taj and GN sold out TM.

Don't like GN myself but lets be honest they way he started using Saman and utilizing his career is very applaudable .

If CQ was in charge , everyone here would say that it was CQ who got someone rolling & boosted his confidence but because its GN an iranian coach no one even wants to mention this.

Again don't like GN but gotta give him credit for that.

One good, 100 wrong. Saman get injured or anything bad happening and he is completely lost

…

I'm not sure how we will play vs South Korea but with the options chosen it is quite clear that GN us not going to pull off a 'football hojoomi" all out attack like some members think is on the cards because that kind of play needs SPEED.

More likely strategy to maximize our chances to win is breaking up the game, making it ugly, causing a lot of stoppages and scoring on a counter or setpiece.
