[teammelli91]

-----------------------Abedzadeh(c)----------------------
Mahdavikia-----Rezaei----Pashadzade---Minavand
----------------Nekounam---Bagheri---------------
Dejagah---------------Karimi---------------Azizi
------------------------Daei--------------------------

I like this line-up.

I miss the days when we have many players in the top leagues. Remember Perugia bought Rezaei and Samereh from IPL at the same time in 2001. Today it's very difficult for Iranian players to move to the top leagues.

-----------------------Abedzadeh(c)----------------------
Mahdavikia-----Rezaei----Pashadzade---Minavand
----------------Nekounam---Bagheri---------------
Dejagah---------------Karimi---------------Azizi
------------------------Daei--------------------------

I don't recall Abedzadeh ever playing in Europe.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

my pick, for those who played in Europe would be:
-----------------------HAGHIGHI------------------------------
----MAHDAVIKIA--------REZAEI-------PASHAZADEH-----
---------NEKOUNAM---BAGHERI----TEYMOURIAN-------------
---------------KARIMI------AZIZI--------DEJAGAH------------
-------------------------HASHEMIAN---------------------------


to those who know why I left that guy out: hehehehe!

I don't recall Abedzadeh ever playing in Europe.

well he should have...he was good enough

Can hardly take this list seriously. To give some examples;

1) Karimi (he could even play as a forward instead of Gucci)
2) Nekounam. Like leave the most succesful player out ???
3) Rezaei Played like 7 years or so in Italy and was a regular starter in Serie A in its glory days
4) Gucci Over HASHEMIAN !!! He was a starter in Bundesliga, played over 200 games or so there (also for Bayern) and scored almost 50 goals in Germany
5) Man even Shojaie was more successful than most people
6) Zandi
7) Heck even Mohammad Reza Adelkhani deserves more credit than some on your list

Mahdavikia-----Rezaei----Pashadzade---Minavand

----------------Nekounam(c)---Bagheri--------------

Dejagah-----------------Karimi-----------------Zandi

-------------------------Daei---------------------------

Some really important players I could not put on are; Shojaei, Hashemian, Azizi, Ando, Alireza, Sardar

The one position I would rather have someone better would be Zandi's position, He was to slow to play in this system but we dont have alot of great players for that position who played in Europe. But were he lacked speed, he compensated by technique and playing smart and for a player in that position he did have alot of goals behind his name in his good seasons and alot of good passes as well.
