Omid Noorafkan

[Essi]

I have been nothing but impressed. He's just getting better and better.

[taremiscores]

He's the ultimate utility player: can play LB, central midfielder, and now CB.

[rdwrrr]

He has always had potential. I remember a few years back, they had high praises for him.

[Ghermez Agha]

Did much better than I expected today in the center….hope he is the starting LB

[St_Mark]

SKO defended his choice of Noorafkan.


" Noorafkan played a good game and shows that the right decision has been made by me. in this game "

" When the UAE team switched and the tall striker came into the game, we reacted and sent other defenders into the game. "


وی در مورد استفاده از نورافکن در دفاع وسط و عدم استفاده از بازیکن تخصصی در این پست گفت:
امید نورافکن بازی خوبی انجام داد و نشان می دهد تصمیم درستی از سوی من گرفته شده است.
در این بازی نیاز به تصمیم جدیدی برای دفاع داشتم و دیدیم که نورافکن عملکرد کم نقصی داشت و او انتخاب من بود و چیز بیشتری در این مورد ندارم بگویم.
البته شما اسم این بازی را کم اهمیت می گذارید ولی برای من اینگونه نیست و شما پرسیدید چرا بازیکن جدید استفاده نکردم
ولی من دقیقا این کار را کردم و امید نورافکن در پست جدید امتحان شد و عملکرد خوبی داشت.
زمانی که تیم امارات دست به تعویض زد و مهاجم بلند قامت به بازی اورد ما هم واکنش نشان دادیم و مدافعان دیگر را هم به بازی فرستادیم.

I hope that he stays healthy and moves back to Europe after the WC.

Go Omid!

I hope that he stays healthy and moves back to Europe after the WC.

Go Omid!

*before the WC you mean!

According to Transfermarkt, his contract expires next summer, meaning Sepahan would be smart to sell him during the summer transfer window. His value is at an all-time high and he will be 25 at that point. Would love to see Omid in Portugal.

[Futbaldoost]

^ Even better. As people is Esfahan say: Deegeh Bayter

Go TM!

[Ali Doust]

With Saeid out against S.Korea, I would go with Omid as the DMF.

[kaebi kabab]

It would be crazy if he was to play CB at the World Cup waaaay to slow for that position

Which one of our CBs do you consider fast?

[mahestan]

Which one of our CBs do you consider fast?

Seyed Jalal...

joking aside, what's going on with Majid Hosseini? He's pretty quick..

[Futbaldoost]

Majid is doing great in Turkey and many of us felt he could get a start. Unfortunately, his COVID-19 test came back positive early on in the camp and he went back to Turkey. He will be an essential part of TM defense.

Go TM!

He's actually the fastest out of all CBs, or else how do you think he would play left back, his primary position?

[Salar]

I hope Pouraliganji recovers and regains his form for the WC, on his day, he is by far our best centre back. I'm most worried about our right back position, Moharrami is useless, Hardani is way too little (Don't compare him to Kaebi please) and Vouria and Ramin don't get invited (the latter rightly so in my opinion). We are gonna be in trouble defensively in the WC.. I hope I'm wrong..
