Ali Karimi @ Dinamo Zagreb | 2016-2017

[Dinpomp]

Karimi played the full 90 minutes today for Dinamo Zagreb II vs Hrvatski Dragovoljac (1:1 final, game just finished not long ago).

I didn't watch, but know he played in the middle of Dinamo's 4-2-3-1.

Carlos Queiroz again mentioned his name when he was asked about recent issues in last few days. He said few young players such as Saeid, Azmoun and Ali Karimi had a chance to play in a friendly which was wasted by people in charge. So it is just matter of the time until he get the call i believe.

There was a chance to play vs Iraq or Singapore but that chance was ruined by some shady figures in IFF.

"'IRANIAN ANDRIJAŠEVIĆ' slowly imposed in Dinamo 'I was a star, best player last season, but just did not have the luck ... "
AUTHOR: Nikola Lipovac POSTED: 28/10/2016.

*is demanding from the Persian league, players are physically stronger and faster, says the first Iranian in our football, which are in Sepahan trained Cico Kranjcar and Igor Stimac

When Ali Karimi has a few "but". One of the first is that nothing in the genus "that" Ali Karimi, who played at Bayern and more than 127 appearances for the Iranian national team, but Dinamo's first Iranian in Croatian football.

When Ali Karimi has a few "but". One of the first is that nothing in the genus "that" Ali Karimi, who played at Bayern and more than 127 appearances for the Iranian national team, but Dinamo's first Iranian in Croatian football.

Three and a half months in Zagreb, but failed to impose the summer preparations because it came as a convalescent, to then re-injured the bone in the hip and is in the championship assembled only an appearance, against Inter on 13 August. Four times he played for Dinamo II in the 2nd Division, and came off the bench in the Cup in Bjelovar, when Ivaylo Petev closed the match with two defensive midfielders.

- It's been hard these three or four months, because when you hurt can not be good. Just never had any luck with this injury, because I was the star in Sepahan, best player last season, so I decided to come to Europe, but I could not immediately show their quality. However, Dinamo and Croatian football are close to Europe and most important to me is to become a standard in Dinamo, that's my next goal - says 22-year-old, 186 cm tall midfielder.

Ali Karimi's Sepahan debuted under Zlatko Kranjcar as a 18-year-old, replacing after 90 minutes Radomir Đalovića, and two years later under Igor Stimac but as a standard midfielder kept back Senijad Ibricic. There is, therefore, experience with the local mentality, and he is with someone and advise on Croatia.

- They told me to train harder than in Iran, to play faster, that every game is difficult. Here, in the Cup are three great Croatian team had problems with second division side. Croatian league level higher than Iran's, yet here is European style, closer to German, physically demanding, players are stronger - says Karimi not smasher type Jonas, but a fine technician with an overview of the game that is going to jump.

Hm, falling to mind comparison "Iranian Andrijašević" ...

- I'm in the front row 'six', then 'Eight', but I played under Kranjcar and under Štimac as 'ten' in the 4-2-3-1. But defensive midfielder himself - says Ali, who speak English, but the words of Croatian learned greetings and exclamations football "back", "exit", "left", "right", "give me the ball" ...

- Football Dictionary is the same everywhere, and all the teammates speak English. After I recovered from the injury I returned the second team in the second league. This is a lower level and the grounds are not as good, it is more physical fight than football, but not bad after a pause a little and try it, and so to come back - says Ali, who lives alone in Zagreb.

- It's a little difficult, but Zagreb is beautiful and the people are good. I do not have a driver's license, but I could drive in Iran I was driving without a license - praised us for a place with another "but", Ali Karimi, who two years ago was called into the national A-type, but not yet debuted.

Maybe he'll get lucky soon against Thailand and Syria. Disable or ...

I didn't watch, but know he played in the middle of Dinamo's 4-2-3-1.

Here's what one fan said about Karimi's performance in the match referenced above. Again, I can't vouch for this, but wanted to share what was said:


- Karimi was Dinamo's best player. Excellent vision and passing but he didn't sprint once in the entire match. His radius of movement is a circle in the center.

Being Dinamo II's best player means he will for sure get playing time for Dinamo I

But it also looks like Karimi likes to camp in the middle of the field with little movement.

Modern footballers are more dynamic than that. No matter what position, each player will have to attack and defend at different times in a match.

But otherwise, I really like his resilience to want to play in the first team.

That is exactly his style of play. I haven't seen him sprint in any game and I have seen quite a few of his games in Sepahan.

Interesting ...

His latest Instagram moment shows him in Sevilla. Dinamo plays Sevilla tomorrow in Champions League game. We might see him make the bench. Would be good step.

Has he made the bench in league games yet? If not, then it is weird that they would give him a place on the bench in a very crucial match for Dinamo.

But the reports say he did impress in the second team, so maybe he can be used as a surprise factor in what is a side desperate for points.

He made the bench in 2 league games and played 10 minutes in one league match.
