Iran's Top Football Players Receive Attention from Arab Clubs - Master Herald

I keep repeating all of this since the beginning but we have the "nooshe jooneshoon" squad and the "he has to think about his future" brigade that like to defend these players by finding excuses

I understand your point of view but I don't think you truelly get that football is a profession at the end of the day just like any other. Of course, in an ideal world everyone would deny big money and just follow their passion and heart, but we live in a world where it is a necessity to think of the financial aspect of life. These players have worked their entire lives to make it to the level they are now. Why shouldn't they make sure that their hardwork pays off at the end of the day for them and their families?! That's absurd. Now whether that's the type of people we want in team Melli that's another question, and I think a good one at that. My personal belief being that as long as the players perform for the national team on a consistant basis they deserve a spot.

Once a player retires from active playing it's not as if they are incapable of making money any other way.

In case it was missed, here is the original article of the Tehran Times and Tasnim piece, re: 5 stars to watch.

Asian Cup preview: five star players and five must-see games

FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH

Ashkan Dejagah (Iran) 19 January 2015 - Iran v United Arab Emirates, Brisbane Stadium (Suncorp)In renaming their domestic league the Arabian Gulf League, the Emiratis have triggered significant anger in Iran, where they fiercely protect the "Persian Gulf" name. Pride is on the line here like nowhere else.

How are you not commenting on the magnificent and extremely outdated picture in the article of agha Reza deciding to take some time and break dance in the middle of the derby while his jenazeh tries to score?!?!

But that's just being dumb. You have a talent, now use it to make it in this world whatever that may mean to you as an individual. Many people will find that success is defined by how much money they have in their pocket at the end of the day, nobody can change that. Not everyone lives for the love of their profession and is willing to deny financial safety in place of high caliber football. It's very unlikely that these players will ever receive an opportunity to make this much money ever again in their life, why not seize the opportunity. He has no formal higher education, so he can't really pick up any good jobs once he's done with football, and seldom do players make big money as coaches. Carlos Quiroz is making a buttload and he's earning like 2million a year. That's a fraction of what Dejagah gets at his new club. I'm not defending him, he was my favorite player in the world, we shared a name and so much more (lol), but I definitely see his perspective (I think).

So for all of us that are young you would recommend giving lap dances at gay clubs to make money as not doing so while we still have the body and talent for it would be dumb?

If you're pretty much unable to ever get close to the same earnings through another means and you have a limited window of opportunity in order to do your homosexual lapdancing to secure you and your family's future, I'd certainly encourage it. I'd draw the line there though, prostitution would be illegal and more damaging to one's mental stability.

Keep us updated on the path you choose to take.

.... No, I'm saying that he's gifted as a footballer, and so while he continues to be healthy and capable he should make whatever decision he feels right. I may have a particular talent in engineering, or biology, or anything really. With my talent it's only right that I eventually use it to get financial security for myself and the family and kids I will come to have. Is that wrong? Nobody would ask twice if you quit your job for a huge pay-raise somewhere else, especially if the job was easier too. They would say qoshbehalet, good work. Yet for some reason many people seem to have gone bazerk as a result of our players moves. It's a poor move from a competitive footballing view point, but these players are no legends and these big money offers don't come knocking all the time unless they're very well proven. In the case of Dejagah, for 20+ years of his life he has dedicated every minute of it to football, trying to be the best he can. He has out competed many many striving footballers, and successfully became professional and has played in the worlds top two leagues through his career. If I were him I would've tried to go back to Germany or settle for a mid-table epl team as I'm sure he could've. Dejagah saw this as an opportunity, as I said earlier, maybe the only one he'll get and while I don't like it as a fan, I don't blame him as a person.

So those of us who are gifted in giving lap dances to men should do it as much as we can while we are young and able? Would you ask twice if you should quit your job for a huge pay as a lap dancer for men?
