TM November list out

[mehdi13]

Only one that didn’t say hello was Azmoun but it’s his life he owes me nothing.

What a loser.

[Super Shojaei]

What a loser.

Like I said he owes me nothing - it’s his time he’s a multi millionaire with a million other things to do . But he seemed to be in a rush and mentally seemed by far the least at ease out of all the team Melli players .

Shoja and taremi are so kind - I guess maybe Shoja felt bad for the North Koreans and let them back into the game 😂

[Super Shojaei]

Hotel lobby plus team Melli photographer gave me his outfit of team Melli pyjamas lol 😂

That Chinese fan with Azmoun

[Nokhodi]

Didn’t get let in - even with the private contacts I had I couldn’t get a ticket into the match. Taremi signed my inter jersey which is a gift to my gf’s bro then taremi gave me an away kit thanking me for being the only Iranian In Laos




North Korea requested the stadium to have no foreign fans - the assumption being that with the vast South Korean expat population here some of the fans would protest or make political slogans. ( also a lot of Americans Australians and Canadians too which is sure the North Korean didn’t like) I met a number of Laos people who wanted to attend the match and some Australian and Canadians ngo workers who knew Azmoun and taremi were in town and wanted to see him- even one Chinese guy who flew 7 hours just to see Azmoun play he was gutted when he found out the stadium was closed I feel sorry for him more than me - he had 60 Azmoun football cards and his zenit jersey ( he said China doesn’t have talented players so he flies to nearby nations to watch other Asian players - he also flew to Hong Kong to watch Iran play Hong Kong and he waited for taremi at Laos airport too lol )




Shoja , hosseinjad , ghoddos , taremi Azmoun I got photos with them . Only one that didn’t say hello was Azmoun but it’s his life he owes me nothing - Shoja is so kind he offered to help take pics. Moghanlou is an absolute giant like I’ve never seen someone so huge - when he got in the elevator - a physical beast of a specimen




Overall I’m gutted but feel sorry most for the Laos people and the expat workers , foreigners who went to Laos just to see team Melli play but were denied by the North Korean government - had the game been advertised it could’ve generated a little bit of revenue for the impoverished Laos people and given some of Asia’s poorest the chance to see taremi and Azmoun play - a lot of them wanted to see Qatar v North Korea too but were denied - Qatar got some pre selected fans in - Iran weren’t even allowed that. It was just a select group of north Korean embassy workers and North Koreans who I assume work here as it’s also a communist nation. The whole thing felt unfair even for AFC levels states like North Korea bring nothing. I guess maybe in part due to Iran having no embassy in Laos ( the nearest being Ho Chi Minh City 150 miles away from Laos’ capital ) it was harder to negotiate fans being allowed in?

Thank you for that beautiful safanameh!
I really enjoy reading these travelogues from TM fans.

Wild that North Korea was able to dictate no fans.
I'm pretty sure that is against AFC rules, but who are we kidding. AFC doesn't care.

Spoke to the tm staff and NK asked for no public fans- again I think the motivation is political as there are a large South Korean expat population in Laos working in the engineering , health and ngo sectors and they don’t want them mingling with the North Korean fans or starting protests -

yeah whole thing was odd especially as Qatar were allowed 30 or so pre approved fans but the Lao locals I spoke to tried to get into the previous match and weren’t approved even as neutrals - nk didn’t want them

pretty awful really if the games were advertised it could have generated a bit of buz and revenue in a poor nation that needs the money - inconsiderate move by North Korea but knowing them the political motivations are understandable I don’t think they would want American, Canadian , South Korean expats attending their “ home matches”

Thanks Super Shojaei appreciate your reports. Can I ask what brought you to Laos? It’s a pretty random country for an Iranian to travel to and I’m guessing you didn’t go just for the TM match?

They not anti TM , they anti GN ..

[PSGman#19]

is there any clip of it?

It was on shabake 3 morning program. Salam something.

He said something like :

• with such defense we will be ridiculous at world cup
• GN lost control on his group
• Jahanbakhsh without a club until some time ago has no reason to be in the squad while good performing players from ipl or uae aren't called
• The players that conceded 6 goals against England choose who shouldn't be called up
• People doesn't like this TM specially the rejuvenating process doesn't happen
• he said there is a difference between a big player and a normal one (referring to Shoja)
• He expect arya yousefi to take a red card not a supposed experienced player like shoja
• He criticized the substitution of a speedy player like ghaedi for a slow olaghlou who has no one to center and use his size then
