Candidates for rejuvenating TM

[The]

Fallah and Hazbavi will be our CBs in the near future.
Fallah is tall, strong, physical.... he has had very bad luck with injuries (two at least in the past year and a half).
He was the last cut on CQ's 2022 squad as well if you recall.

He's been flaky in the league as well. I think Aghasi is a better option. He's probably one of the best ball carrying CBs in Iran.

Aghasi is good 5/6 games and then has a real bad stinker.

Yeah he will call Amiri

I am sure Mehri will make the next list. Happy V3 dare to put the best U17 players in the list.

Problem is bro
u17 u19 u23
Teams only get active 45 days prior to tournaments...if u 17 ,19,23 is active every fifa days it will make huge difference.
general calls 17 year old soccer player a NINI KHORDO...

I did a quick overview of what/how CQ rejuvenated the team after Asia Cup 2015.

Pouraliganji and Azmoun had already made it into the Asian Cup 2015 squads. PAG became a key starter during that tournament and never lost his spot.
Azmoun had been with TM since pre WC 2014, but he wasn't really a member of the squad until early 2015. Rezaeian was a bench player.

After Asia Cup, TM had friendlies versus Sweden and Chile, where CQ did not give the younger players any opportunities (except for PAG), basically making it a farewell tour for himself and the previous gen.

However in the next set of matches, friendlies versus Uzbekistan and qualifiers versus Turkmenistan - CQ gave caps to Taremi, Kanaani, Ezatollahi and Torabi.

Ezatollahi very soon became a starter. Taremi didn't really become a regular until round 2 of qualifiers.

In short, world cup qualifiers is a good time to start new young players, even if not regularly! Up to 4 at a time.
Please also note for those who think the CQ times was all smooth sailing, we tied Turkmenistan 1-1!

I would say now is the time to start a new RB, CB, CM and one winger or forward.

Watched some highlights of this Saeid Karimazar kid and he reminds me of a combination of Ramin and Milad in a bad way

Hossein Goudarzi and Younes Akbarpour are better options for now

If we lock up both games vs Turkmenistan there is no reason why we cant give younger players a chance vs Uzbekistan and Hong Kong.

I remember the Turkmenistan game perfectly last time and our team relied on Khosro Heydari crosses all game so we were rather badbakht in that era.

I would argue guys like Hazbavi, Hosseinejad, etc can have 20 minute cameos vs Turkmenistan if we are leading.

Multiple sources on Twitter say Kasra Taheri had trial with Rubin Kazan, played friendlies there but end up signing with CSKA Moscow

I agree that we should give opportunities to the young players in the Turkmenistan game. 20-30 min appearances. And then depending on performance, you can start a few of them going forward.

What would suck is that they end up being very disappointing and we have to continue to rely on the older gen to get through.
That didn't work well in 2009-10.

Bad move.
He will be stuck in a shady contract, within a country that no Euro country wants to do business with.
The way Russia is running right now, it is probably easier to transfer out from Iran, than Russia itself!

FAKE NEWS...

he will remain at Rubin Kazan and sign for them. He didnt signed officially yet , because he is still 17. But CSKA Moscow is Fake.
