Did you guys see what Breitner said about the wizard yesterday?
Was such a pleasure to hear that one of the greatest leftbacks of all time appreciates his style of play that much.
He said that it was a joy to watch Karimi and that without a doubt he had the talent to become the main player in Bayerns midfield, but the pressure was too much for him.

Ali Karimi. 4th greatest foreign player to grace UAE leagues.
#4. Ali Karimi, Iran
Widely considered one of the greatest Asian and Iranian players, the midfielder spent four seasons with Al Ahli. He was a first-rate technician, a dribbler of peerless ability who puzzled defenders of his era with a particularly fine touch on the ball.
He had something of an aura to him, a charisma, characteristics that, combined with his organisational skills, prompted fans to call him “The Magician”.
“There was something special about him, the way he played,” said Younus Abdul Ghafoor, former Ahli supporters club organiser/supervisor. “He used to go past players easily. It came naturally to him and the fans loved his style of play.
“He is perhaps the second-best-ever Iranian player, though some consider him better than Ali Daei. If you judge him on football skills, he was definitely better.”
Karimi joined Ahli in 2001. They won the President’s Cup later in that season. He led them to another in 2003/04, when he was the top scorer in the league as well as the Asian Champions League, an impressive feat for a midfielder. He was named the 2004 Asian Footballer of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation.
In 69 league appearances for Ahli, he scored 45 goals. Bayern Munich came calling in 2005 and he played two seasons with Germany’s biggest club and contributed to their league and league cup double in 2006.

He is the little brother of Faisal Khalil, Karimis former teammate at Al Ahli. Karimi assisted many many of his goals, they were a great duo back then in UAE league.
