What's going on here? I don't get what you and ali alipour are getting at?

[Messy]

Khuzestan doesn't have deserts, educate yourself about Iran a little bit before you start spewing garbage.

whats with the agression?

Khuzestan has mostly desert conditions. Have you ever been there? I haven't, but my Dad, who is from Masjed e Soleiman, tells me of very hot summers, and very cold winters.

Rahman jan, please go open your own boutique or a public bath, the choice is yours and leave our football alone.

Thanks.

[Paradigm]

Funny timing this is, right after rematch w/ Oman.

Actually Rahman did give a few good technical points on the defensive errors the national team has been making. In particular, the defensive line is used to play within a short distance of the midfield, they fail to properly mark opponents in the 18-yard box, and tend to concede on the second pole. He also said the technical abilities of many players go unexploited.

What the hell did I just watch?

Really Rahman Rezaei? Really?

The bad overweighs the good? Or you just want to open your mouth against him because the majority is against him?

Bazia vaghean az mogheiat khoob estefade mikonan, mesle in agha...

Vaghean shakh dar avordam shenidam harfasho. Key Queiroz bi ehterami karde be keshvaremoon Iran? Key? Etefaghan kheili defa karde az Team Melli va az mardome Irano.

Maloome ke Rezaei ba jomhourie va HICH FARGHI ba oon boozineh Mohammadzadeh nadare.

[teammelli91]

Allow me to translate what our ex-national team defender Mr. Rahman Rezaei had to say about our head coach Carlos Queiroz:


"His negatives overweigh his good. Which other foreign coach has disrespected our football, our league, our coaches, and our country the most? Give me an example please. Did Branko ever fight with our domestic coaches? Queiroz has disrespected our nation. Which coach doesn't show up to the presentation of the World Cup jerseys? That's disrespect to our jerseys. He's disrespected our mamlekat."

[teammelli91]

Vaghean shakh dar avordam bekhatere in harfash..

Carlos Queiroz bi ehterami be Iran? Carlos Queiroz az Uhlsport badesh miyad che rabti dare be Iran?

Carlos Queiroz tanha morabii boode ke rafte (ba eftekhar) sar zade be ghabre Kourosh e Bozorg va hamishe defa karde az mardom va tarikhe Iran.

Tanha dalili ke Carlos Queiroz moonde morabie Iran bekhatere mardomemoon boode. Hamishe ehtaram baraye Iran dashte va dare.

I didn't really see any harsh criticism.... Some positive points, some negative points, some terrible points (like CQ insulting the nation), and some contradictory points.

Overall it wasn't a bad interview, but it didn't add any value to anything either.

my thoughts exactly

[Babak agha]

I also didn't see any heavy criticism. Only the hashieh part..

As for the defending, I don't think he contradicted himself. He was saying how TM can defend very well when they don't have to make the play. So whenever we let the opposite have the ball and make the play in the midfield and choose to play reaction football, or counterattacking, we can defend really well. Mourinho would say whenever we park the bus .

However when we are the ones who must do the playmaking, controlling the ball and push upfront with the whole team as the opposite team chooses to park the bus, we are very weak on defending. There's too much space behind our defenders and/or too much space between our defenders and midfielders (the more important part). Then he goes and says that when we have to defend a turnover/counterattack (with not that many people behind the ball) we still defend zones instead of going to man marking.
So yes, against stronger teams that we look up to, we defend really wel, but whenever we feel like we're superior and try to control the game our defence goes weak.

Then there is the fact that we choke in important games underperforming every time and thus going to park the bus mode or just fail miserably. In the friendlies however you see that we also can control the game or play to our full potential. I think all of us agree on this part and the choking isn't a new problem but one that we have for decades now.
Also he said that you'd see Iran play to it's full potential whenever they fall behind in a official game, again something we have all seen happen. The reporters brought u the fact that he's contradicting hisself, because of the fact that we haven't won any game when we have conceded a goal. However, I don't think their criticism is right, as we have seen too many times, Iran falls behind against a team that is (on paper at least) weaker than them, start play real football and score a goal, but then fall back into their choke mode or what ever it is when they're tied.

So all in all I don't think he said anything contradictory or strange, except the hashie part on QC, which I think was uncalled for.
The facts that he summed up are problems that we've had for decades now, so I don't know if CQ is to blame for that, but I do know that he also hasn't entirely fixed it.

What I think tacitcal and all:

Rezaei says:
We are bad in man marking inside the box

Alavi:
mistake of Haghigi is because CQ always makes war and stress the players


BUT MAYBE:
Tactical and mark players in box. Yes like you say Rezaei every coach say that, but maybe at club level we are bad? Our club coaches are maybe not top.

Allavi: Maybe Haghigi lack match practice ?

You know, everywhere that has very hot summers and very cold winters is not necessarily desert?

[shahname]

Through out the interview, you get this impression that Rezaei is nothing close to an impartial/objective expert on TM matters and that he bears serious personal grudges against CQ. So in my opinion, his meanings are useless!

If your father is from there then you should especially educate yourself about the region. Masjed e Soleiman is situated in the Zagros mountains, which is not a desert. there are farmers in that region with cattle, which means these animals have to graze grass. In case you didn't know, sheep and cows can not survive in the desert. And yes i have lived in Khuzestan for some years, so you could say i know the region pretty well. I thought you where some ignorant Tehrani guy, but you're even worse since you have roots from Khuzestan.

Poor chap seems to have been caught totally unprepared for the interview. Sounded confused and no focus at all!

There are issues that can be discussed if one wants to criticize. But among all those to select a jersey ceremony proved he was totally unprepared.
