Liked seeing Alireza in the CAM #10 position. He looked more involved and was able to create more opportunities. He is also a player with a lot of stamina for this position.

""I said I want to leave Iran, I want to go to Europe ' - Alireza Jahanbakhsh

He played with slippers in the street and had to remove the skepticism of his father when he left for the Netherlands. Now he's explosive attacker at AZ.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh is the name. " Jahanbaggss " he emphasizes g. "They speak in Iran. We also have many g's. "

He is a striker with AZ; quick, graceful with explosive shot. Alireza (23) is less pronounced than in Heerenveen Reza, is more cautious. "I do not talk about politics." At the same time he is alert, engaging. He wants to take off twenty minutes before the interview, at the end he says, smiles: "I think it was an hour and twenty minutes."

He grew up in Qazvin in northwestern Iran. His father was a manager at a bicycle factory. "That thing you see everywhere here." He is a middle child of three. Mother did not work, they took care of the children.

He is a street footballer, often played around in slippers. When his mother sent him to the supermarket to buy, he was playing football with friends. "My mother always waiting for the stuff, one hour, two hours. Then she came out: You bought it, "No, the answer was often?.

They sat at the "bottom of a middle class family," he says. They lived in a district with many workers flats in management of the plants. "There football tournaments were organized between the factories. I always did it. I was eleven, twelve years old when I played with boys of nineteen. "

Iranian as not to Israel

In the autumn he was in the news. AZ did not take him in the squad for the home and away matches in the Europa League against Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv. Iran does not recognize Israel. An Iranian mag, the regime does not travel to Israel. If Jahanbakhsh had done or could have consequences, "which is unknown," says a spokesperson for AZ. Possibly he would Iran not income or can no longer play for the national team.

AZ protected him by this measure. The club was informed by experts and adopted in consultation with Jahanbakhsh and his Iranian agent Amir Hashemi decision. The club spokesman said: "We are not put under pressure by the Iranian authorities." Jahanbakhsh who speaks sparingly about this sensitive subject, shaking his head: he had no call from the Iranian embassy.

Sometimes he is irritated when negative talk about Iran. "Unfortunately people believe or judge Iran in response to what they hear in the news. I would not say that it is always wrong, sometimes it's true. But there are many things that are not right. People should go there to see what the true culture is the real Iran. "

He is Shiites, such as the vast majority of the Iranians. He does not go for the mosque. He prays at home, even for matches. "My faith tells me to be a good person should pray to God to be kind to others, the poor must help, must be good for my family."

His family still lives in Iran, is important to him. In November, he was told that his mother had a brain tumor, which eventually proved benign. He traveled to Hanover, where the acclaimed Iranian neurosurgeon Majid Samii is. He made sure his mother could be treated there. "I wanted the best for her doctor. Now she's good. "

He was asked independently. At fourteen he left Qazvin, with 380,000 inhabitants, to the capital Tehran, with nine million people. He came into the youth of Damash. "It was difficult for my parents." And at nineteen, he left for the Netherlands to NEC, without speaking a word of English.

His father tried to persuade him to go to Persepolis, a top club in Tehran, which made him an offer and where his father was a fan of. "It was his dream that I would ever play there. I told him I want to get out of Iran, I want to go to Europe. "

He talked about the stage with former Iranian international Mehdi Mahdavikia. His idol, which was successful at Hamburger SV. Mahdavikia scored at the 1998 World Cup in the politically charged clash against the United States, Iran won 2-1. "He said just go."

He had here "very difficult" the first months. It was cold, he spoke the language, and he stayed at first alone in a hotel room in Nijmegen.

His choice paid off. He was carrying player at NEC, in 2014 went to Iran to the World Cup and left a year later to ambitious AZ.

A documentary about him came out. In a scene about his mother in the stands at AZ, which is banned in Iran for women. Last month, the regime succumbed to international pressure and the women admitted to the stands for an international men's volleyball tournament. But football is not that far yet.

Jahanbakhsh: "It is now likely to change so that women may also in the stadium. It would be nice if it could be organized in a good way. All players want family can come and see that you make them proud. ""
