Sardar Azmoun @ FC Rostov | 2016/17

[Kiarash]

The best imaginable draw for Rostov, I'm assuming we will see our boys at least one round further in Europe.

[BacheLot]

Sparta Prague will be their opponent! not hard at all.

dont know, but i doubt its gonna be all too easy of a match-up ..!
Eastern Europeans play a similar physical style of football to russians so they will match up well and like a league game for Rostov this season, the Tie could go either way..!!
I woulda much preferred a high profile fixture vs United, Lyon, Roma etc where they woulda likely line-up an attacking line-up and playing style vs Rostov which woulda played right into the hands of Rostov's solid countering game..!!

or if they were to get a pushover, kiri opponent woulda been great to play Apoel/Hapoel types..!!

anyhow, good luck to our boys.... boy?? when is the match anyways.? anyone got a bracket pic to see how the rest of road to final looks like..?

It might be weak overall but this same team beat Kranodar 4-0 on aggregate at this stage last year and made the quarter finals.

The award Sardar won was from "Outside of the Boot":

"Asian Young Player of the Year 2016: Sardar Azmoun | Talent Radar

Azmoun is an incredibly exciting young prospect, and after a nice, but somewhat inconsistent last season, he is in the middle of his major breakthrough with crucial goals both domestically and internationally. He is an almost complete striker, but is a somewhat controversial persona, best exemplified with his strange transfer to Rostov, which is still not recognized by his old club Rubin Kazan.

2016 has been a thrilling year for Iran’s golden boy, Sardar Azmoun. Having made his loan spell permanent with Russian side FC Rostov following off the pitch complications, he embarked on a fairy-tale journey that transmitted to the rest of the side. The side surprised the footballing world, with an incredible title challenge that saw them ultimately finish second, and book a place in Europe’s premier competition, for the first time in their history.

Azmoun’s best performances came towards the tail-end of the 2015-16 Russian Premier League season. The 21-year-old scored six goals in the last six games of the season, propelling his side to the top and holding off pressure for that coveted Champions League spot.

But the year’s fairy-tale was only beginning, as Azmoun and his Rostov side embarked on their European journey, knowing fully-well it wasn’t going to be a simple task. The Russians first faced Belgian giants Anderlecht before squaring up against Dutch side Ajax – both teams who traditionally have found their feet in European competition. But helped by Azmoun’s two goals through the Champions League qualifying rounds, Rostov found themselves in the group stage, rubbing shoulders with the continent’s elite.

Here’s where Azmoun had arguably the most memorable highlight of his year, career and possibly Rostov’s history. The minnows managed to secure three points against German champions Bayern Munich, helped by a goal from Azmoun en route a 3-2 victory. The youngster has also been ever present for his national side, striking four times across seven matches as the Persians look to book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, in Azmoun’s adopted home – Russia.

The clinical striker has done well to adapt himself into Europe, having developed his football in his homeland with Sepahan. Relying on his finishing and dependable first touch, the Iranian international has leaped to fame and is enjoying the prime of his career, with 2016 possibly being just a sneak peek of what’s more to come."

According to the Navad interview Saeid is now a free agent and by the way he was speaking about his next move it seems most likely he won't re-sign with Rostov.

[Messy]

Azmoun will win Asian Player of the Year a couple times in his career. Of course this is the player of the year award they give to the legionaries of Asia... the more important one :-)

[inarsenewetrust]

it seems that he has options from elsewhere, but rostov also want him to extend so if those options dont go through he can always stay with rostov ( where he is playing, just not as much as he wants) and experience europa league with them for the rest of the year as well. I personally believe he is close to be full time starter instead of one in every two-three games like he is now.
p.s - their banter altogether seems pretty top notch

Ezatolahi will go to another RPL team... calling it now

maybe. I hope he goes back to spain TBH. He would dominate physically there while also improving his ball retention tremendously. Plus there was a lot of media coverage regarding him going back to atleti before the game. Maybe some bottom-lowermidtable teams or even top second division teams. lets see. One thing is for sure that he wont be short of offers after his exposure in basically all of the champions League games, great performances against anderlecht, and his very young age, and incredible physique.

dude so true. La Liga would be awesome for Ezza; plus it is a league I can see him easily play well in... It really suits him.
