Taha Zareei @ Leixões S.C. | 2015 - 2016

[Karimi 8]

With this Leixões team, he's not getting any playing time at all.

Hopefully because he has this club on his resume he can use it to transfer somewhere else at the end of the season

Btw in case anyone wants to know, ex-Beira Mar Afshin Esmailzadeh if you still remember his name, currently plays with Mes Kerman in the Azadegan League. Crazy when you think that there was so much hype around him that some people were asking for him to get called up to TM the moment he stepped into Portugal

He turned down Boavista to go back to Persepolis. I tried so hard to convince him to take the opportunity to advance his career, but he just wouldn't- he expected an unreasonable contract. The guy went from Damash to Persepolis to Beira, and could have went to Boavista (only club besides the big 3 to win Primeira), but he didn't realize the value of the opportunities handed to him. If you look at his resume, you will see that he barely ever played (even before going to Portugal), and the chances that he was given were undeserved. Not to say that he was/is a bad footballer, but his resume didn't warrant such opportunity (with Boa), especially since he was a bench-warmer in all his previous teams. The hard work that Tadeu (persian8iran) and I put in to give him a name and promote him was spat on because of his immature attitude and unrealistic expectations. Now he's a bench-warmer in Mes in Azadegan, and his chances are even worse than when he was a teenager. Which rational person would want a player that moved backwards in his early career, in their club?

Absolutely agreed. What happened to Zareei btw? Why did Tadeu stop to work with him all of a sudden, there's no more interest or "publicity" for him now that that happened.

^^^I just don't understand why a professional footballer would turn down the move that develops their career, for more money in Iran.

Most IRANIAN footballers (Including some TM players) don't deserve the word professional next to their status as footballers.

They are anything but professional.

Its a long story that I cant get into. But let's just say that Taha is a habitual liar.

Yes indeed.

Wow. That escalated quickly...

[EZLN]

Wow. That escalated quickly...

Lol did you hear that catch phrase and just couldn't wait to use it? Should have waited lol

[Z Joon]

Nahhh but why should I have waited, does it escalate that much more?

[EZLN]

Lol no just because it wasn't that escalated.

[Z Joon]

Lol no just because it wasn't that escalated.

Well you know, when we're being told that Beiranvand is not that special compared to Taha Zareei who's going to be the next Abedzadeh, from that to Taha being an "habitual liar" and separating with his agent in just couple of months, I'd say that it escalated pretty damn quickly

like I said, it's a long story... better not get into it

[Hormozgan]

I've bitten my tongue regarding Taha, but ever since he was promoted here on the forum and seeing his own pictures I always sensed something fishy. Somewhat overselling both his spells at these clubs and his significance in the teams. It was like somebody just put on a jersey and got photographed in it and raved about their situation. Something was not natural. I hope my intuition failed me.

[Ando Teymourian]

I would take what you hear about these players with a grain of salt. There are two sides to every story, and it seems a little unfair to say these things about them when they can't even say anything back.

One day they are the next big thing, and as soon as they stop working with these agents, they are called something else.

Just be careful not to believe everything, and definitely do not take down guys like Esmaelzadeh and Zareei based on hearsay. Esmaeilzadeh is good enough to play in Lige Bartar, and if he was on Persepolis with Branko he would be playing much better than last season. Derakhshan ruined the kid, he was also playing well under Daei when he got minutes. Aliasgari and Esmaelzadeh suffered the most under Derakhshan unfortunately.
