Reza Shekari

[04041374]

How many players did he bring to Europe?

None of them until now.
He was on the verge to transfer Mehdi Sharifi to Rapid Vienna, however he was rejected by the coach. Omid Alishah rejected Chaleroi and a Greek club. Ramin Rezaeian rejected Eskisehirspor (well, they are relegating now) In a recent interview, Nariman Jahan stated recently that he refused foreign offers, however I don't know if those offers were coming from Europe.

Didn't Milad Sarlak had an offer from Kazakhstan?

Why did Omid reject that offer. I love the guy, but It will never get any better than a mid table Belgium club for him. Khak!

I don't understand these players.. Like, if I were a basketball player in Iran I would jump at the opportunity to play collage or division 1 basketball in the US, even though that would "only" mean education and no salary to increase the potential of me reaching the elite and top league. I would most likely always have the opportunity to go back to Iran and play for a big check, i.e. Arsalan Kazemi.

So I can't fathom why these players don't go to mid table teams in Belgium or Turkey or whatever just to get their feet wet in Europe and increase the visibility for their/Iranian talent and catch the attention of bigger teams in either those leagues or other top teams. Doesn't make any sense.

Especially when Iranian players usually have a technical talent level above European average, but severely lack the mental and tactical aspects. Why not sort those out in another environment?

Former Swedish NT player Martin Åslund was on a podcast this week and was talking about the differences between Europe and Asia and he was talking about how the Asian leagues will grow a lot the coming years, especially in China and Japan with their economies and national strategies. But he stated the fact that the problem lies within the aforementioned.

When he played in the Swedish U-21 NT they met China's U-21 team and he said that pretty much every single player was better in regards to individual technique (just like Iranians), so they would get beaten in 1v1's or they would play it back to the defence/midfield and thereby keep possession. The Swedes didn't even get to keep the ball the first 20 mins.

So what they did was that they went for a cohesive team press so they hadn't anybody to play it back to except the keeper and couldn't get out of the press and therefore Sweden could apply pressure through out the game and won 4-0, even though they weren't necessarily a better team if you'd compare the players individually.

This is what's missing in Iran. The know-how. Some (professionals) know, but I'm talking as a whole footballing culture from the ground up. This is also a reason (with economical, scouting, etc. aspects) why top teams usually rather go for a for example Swede or a Bosnian than a Iranian or Chinese player, even if the raw talent level is higher here.

Now I've stressed this before and I know some offended person will defend his native Iran to the death, but that's what's holding our football back. We're too fucking proud to give constructive criticism a chance. We all love Iranian football and wants it to flourish, why not explore our knacks and try to correct them rather than putting on blindfolds and raising a stupid flag.

End of rant.

Reza and his agent have talked about the Leicester offer, but Saeid Azari told that the club hasn't received any invitation.

[04041374]

Fans and friends on Instagram are urging him to go to Leicester, if the offer is legit.

Do you guys know why he missed the last few games in IPL and ACL?

[Tehranto]

I didn't know hew as 6'2. Hell of a height!

This guy has it all. I thank players like Javad Nekonaum and Ando Teymourian for being Iranian footballers who play with their head up. Their key role has helped expand the Iranian imagination of a modern-day box-to-box midfielder, and we are seeing the rewards of them today (Ezzatollahi, Shekari etc.)

He wasn't playing in all of Zob matches this year, mainly because he is very young and also he was in U20 camp sometime, other issue is Zob has many decent attacking midfielders and forwards like Tabrizi, Kaveh Rezaei, Hasanzadeh, Rajabzadeh,Hadadifard so is hard to get playing time in such a contender team for 17 years old kid.

[Tehranto]

In case people missed it, Reza Shekari was one of the Guardian's Top Young Players in the World

http://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2015/oct/07/next-generation-2015-50-of-the-best-young-talents-in-world-football

One Iranian, One Australian, One South Korean, One Japanese, Zero Iraqis

[arash123]

He was 3 weeks old when Iran beat USA in WC 98.

...I need a drink.

[Kavian]

This young man seems to be very promising with bright future. I hope he is not ruined like many other talent in Iran under our tainted football regime. He needs to go to Europe.
