Morteza Pouraliganji @ Tianjin Teda | 2015-2016

[ali alipour]

Staying in china is a smart move 10x better then still being at naft. Evem though he clearly regressed you could tell pouraliganji had gained professionalism from the chinese league. You could tell his header against turkmenistan was much more professional than his one against iraq, thats something you only learn in the professional emvironment of china. He also learned how to professionally put tuna on crackers and professionally eat gormeh sabzi while being exausted for the games. He also learned to professionally match fix in the second last game where tianjin beat one of the top teams 4-1.
Overall even though he lost his starting spot the professionalism he gained is something he could never dream of at naft

Shame he didn't enjoy the Chinese food.

the problem is in iran the cuisine is not very international and since persian food is VERY mild and plaIN, i think the flavors were overwhelming for him.

Not true at all, Iranian food leans more on being sour or savory, not spicy. The exception would be Iranian food from the south, which is spicy. My dad is from Khuzestan and he does stuff like cook lentils with tamarind, garlic, and chilli pepper. It's a nice twist on what is just a peasant dish / appetizer. I think that's thanks to the influence from Indian and Arab cultures at Persian Gulf port cities. Also Iranians tend to incorporate fruit in their foods, which is a bit unusual. asheh miveh from Fars or kabobeh torsh from shomal, for example. Even the Iranian version of koofteh (Tabrizi), which is better then chelo kabob if I'm honest (please don't kill me), has barberries and dried apricots and things like that. It's nothing like any other koofteh I've seen and it's way better than them too.


I don't know what PAG's taste is but idk footballers aren't exactly famous for being the brightest and most sophisticated people anyway, which is perfectly fine.

Regardless of what you think, my family and I have been in the restaurant business and middle eastern food is among the most mild in the world. South and east Asia , Latin America. And Africa are much more spicy and flavorful
It's mild comparatively, not mild locally. We tend to use a lot of sweet, flower and fruit based

For example
Addas polo with raisins or dates
Albaloo polo
Zereshk polo
Havij polo
Morasa polo
Tarchin

I haven't been to China, but I've been to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia etc, ok I understand that he doesn't like the chinese food, but how hard can it be to find some fvcking simple rice with chicken!?

It's everywhere in the countries I mentioned, pretty sure it's not that hard to find in China either.

[persian-eagle-13]

^^I think many of them are just exaggerating. you can go to any supermarket by eggs, cheese, bread, tomato, onions and make a nice omelet. or just go to a butcher shop by meat or chicken and grill. either they are really lazy or they do not know how to cook!

you would think China being the largest economy with the largest population that surely they would have foods to meet anyone's taste buds.

It's either Tianjin that's crap or he is just making a big deal out of it.

If I were PAG, I would get the hell out of Tianjin. Have you guys seen the recent smog over there? He needs to get out of their before he has his lungs collapse.

[zare3900]

he is making a big deal out of it!. My wife is chinese and you can always find a good dish... Now they do like Pork a lot so maybe thats what it is bc I am assuming he can not eat it ... lol but Lamb is very popular as well.

[PSGman#19]

You know match fixing and corruption is big business in Chinese football right?

Playing in China is useless for a relatively young player like Pouraliganji, it's pure for money and except the foreign players the domestic ones are absolutely in no terms better than what we have in IPL. There is no difference in playing for Naft Tehran or Tianjin, he won't gain anything. He was not smart to reject the Belgian offer, it would have been a good starting point for him since it's the 9th best league of Europe.

I just don't understand it since he told the media that he would use 1 year in China as a bridge to Europe, but he likes the money too much it seems.

What we have to understand, is that when an iranian players want/wait to go to Europe it is only for Real Madrid or Barcelona (or visit eiffel tower), nothing less.

PAG Cooking is easy dude. All you need is a pot, water, some meat, carrots, potatos, onions, and bread.
Drink the soup and make the rest into sandwich. Has been my meal for past 9 months.
"Pho abghost o Deli" Thats what I call it

[Abtin]

I see he is also rocking the Farvahar necklace. Another lovely bilakh to jomhurie eslami.

[teammelli91]

Another year in China and you'll be coming back to Iran with a tape worm!!!












Just joking. Do what's best for you and your football.

News from media: Teda is seeking for an Asian CB, so Morteza will be probably transferred to another club.

The reason is TEDA doesn't lack of DM but CB, and Morteza need to be calmer if he acts as a CB.
