Rumor: Aria Hasegawa invited to TM?

[Camran khan]

If he joins now, he can cover for Neko,

Have you ever seen him play? To say that he can cover for our captain? Lets just all wait and see how this plays out before any of us jump the gun. And I'm talking about both sides, both those for and against. He might not even be invited, this is the Iranian media we are talking about, now all of a sudden, we believe every word they say?

[KC McElroy]

Awesome addition.

[Kiarash]

Why would we invite a J League Div. 2 player when we have a bunch of talented youngsters in IPL?

2007–2011 Yokohama F. Marinos 91 (5)
2012–2014 F.C. Tokyo 79 (11)
2014– Cerezo Osaka 46 (5)

From 2007 till now he played in the highest division. Your point is?

I didn't say the place of the captain. As all know by now, Ando will be our next captain. And yes I have seen his performance. This guy was under my radar for quiet some time but he disappointed me when he was so insisting to stick to JNT.


This is an old PFDC video about him and it is in Persian so enjoy.

I am not saying he will join our team 100% because it is less likely but saying my opinion if he joins.

I know that's not what you meant, but I thought in general he played as CAM? Not CDM..

[Camran khan]

Really? I know you are saying this just to provoke, but he has played his entire career in the J-League. Only this year he plays in J-League 2, because his team got relegated. He got an offer from Spanish team Zaragoza to join, but he wanted to stay loyal to the fans and help Cerezo back to the highest division.

Damn, that sucks. I wish he would've left for Spain.. If this was an Iranian player though, we would've torn him apart lol.

If I was in Aria Hasegawa I would marry a Japanese girl so I can keep Japanese residency if I wanted to join Iran national team. Because for doing so he has to renounce his Japanese nationality and say good bye to JNT for ever. He can only speak few Persian words which is not enough for him to communicate with the rest. According to his father he is so brought up with Japanese culture and embrace himself as a Japanese person.

If you guys remember Zandi was a similar case but he accepted the call because of his fathers joys.

Osaka is a good team and had a great squad last season. I don't know what went wrong that they relegated. It is like Zob Ahan gets relegated. It will be temporary and they will come back to 1st division very soon.

[Kiarash]

Just an FYI, he plays together with Diego Forlan. They bought him to be title contenders last season.

[O-ZoNe]

Maybe this is the surprise CQ is talking about?!

Unfortunately no, I believe the surprise will unfortunately be Aghili and Rahmati with re-invites.

[PersianLegion]

I don't think so. I hope it is Khalatbari! Maybe Neko reconsiders too. Team should be kept out of soosools!

[irani8perspolis]

That's all we need. A second division J league player.

Aziz please don't say stupid things, I am a big critic of Aria as Kiarash can tell you, but he has good skills, only reason he stayed in J2 was too help promote Cerezo, also Diego Forlan plays on his same team. I am not saying Aria should be part of the TM future, but I definetly want him tested out, because someone will need to replace Masoud shortly.

that will never happen i promise you

[Karimi 8]

Hopefully he will get a chance to show his skills to the national team, CM/CAM is a position that we could definitely use new additions too

I think this is just rumors, but to be honest, I'd love a second wave of Iranian talent living abroad to be brought in and tested before the WCQ. It's the perfect time. Not every player has to be brought in, but I say we call everyone we can, including Davari, Beitashour, Radjabali-Fardi, Hasegawa, Nazaris, etc. It doesn't hurt for camps, and it will get under clipsports skin, which is probably the best thing ever.

EDIT: FYI, who here really thinks Hasegawa is a huge downgrade over Shojaei? People have been sitting here and bashing Shojaei forever, and every IPL CAM has been called up from Rahmani, to Sadeghi, to Rafaei, and none has taken Masoud's spot. Is that some big conspiracy, or maybe our IPL wunderkinds aren't that good in TM shirt? It's happened before. We've had many players who play great in IPL *cough* Enayati and Borhani *cough* but sucked in TM. This might be the same case. To be honest, I think I've seen over 10 different players at CAM since CQ became coach, and nobody has blown me away yet in a TM shirt. Give Aria a chance, maybe he has a quality. Or we can be like clipsport wants and continuously rotate the IPL CAM's until one sticks. I'm pretty sure CQ has tried that, and nobody can dethrone Shojaei. That's sad.
