I read the entire interview. It kinda seems like one of the main problems of the youth team was the mentality. After the first game everybody including shekari as he said in the interview, were overjoyed at accomplishing what no iranian u20 team had in 40 years, winning and scoring in the WC. and after the two goals against zambia they thought they were done. Lack of proper goals, concentration really cost them during the moment, possibly more than all mismanagement, bad preparation, etc.
With regards to his transfer: Clearly, Zob ahan made it very difficult for him to leave which is sad. He ended up signing the contract with rostov and I think even he ended up thinking he may have gotten more offers. Tbh it seems like he just signed so zob ahan didnt drag him back after seeing his awesome WC performance which makes sense. For the move to rostov to be a success I just really wish he has spoken at length with management about their personal plan for him, playing time, etc. If he gets regular playing time, then hands down the move is a success. He has the talents to make it anywhere, and playing in russia will no doubt strengthen and progress his development a lot.
He kind of reminds of me of Oleksandr Zinchenko of Man city. He played in shakhtar and ukraine youth teams all of his life, and then transferred to small russian club Ural. After playing consistently there and then at the euros for ukraine man city picked him up and loaned him to PSV this season. He is a year older than shekari and plays the same #ten position. Just shows that more gifted, technical players can also shine in russian league.
