AFC Champions League Week 1

I never want branko anywhere close to TM.

Forget the players, the type of tactics he employs is cancerous. This same shit happened with TM back when he was coach.

He is head and shoulders above our national coaches.... but not on an international stage.

Branko's teams always run out of gas in the last 20-30 minutes of a match! PP is defending now and going for a draw it seems.

Its his lack of physical conditioning for his teams that pisses me off. He says he enforces such and such training regime, but it never shows.

Every team he's managed falls apart after 60 min.

75'

1-1 Al Ain scored after a Corner also.

Even Mazloumi beat him in Asia with Esteghlal with a team consisiting of Amir Abadi, Hamoudi, Omranzadeh and co.

[Nokhodi]

I really don't like Taremi's game. The guy is not that fast yet he's trying to beat everyone with his speed.

He used to be that fast!
He is running thinking he has the speed he used to have.

So 4 corner goals conceded by Iranian teams in the ACL. Pattern?

FT
Al Hilal 1:1 Perspolis

- Such a shame. Again we can't keep a 1-0 lead. We had the same problem last year. Hope we can do better against Al-Wahda, which I think we do.
- Our passing was the worst I've seen from PP in the last months.
- To be fair, Al-Hilal is much better than in the last 2 years. They are in top form and are leading the league comfortably. Ramon Diaz is a good coach, he was able to beat Brazil as Paraguay NT coach.

[CHaMiLLionaire]

My prediction came true... two draws, 1 win, 1 loss. The only difference was that I expected SS Khuz to lose.


PP is the only team that can probably make a run, but with Branko's tactics... I don't expect them to get past the quarters/semi.

[Camran khan]

I'm sure Perspolis would've done much better in Tehran, shame they get no home games vs Saudi teams.

[04041374]

And btw. what did we get from this supposed home game in Oman?

- Humidity which benefits Saudi teams
- 70% Saudi fans
- Bad pitch

LOL

AFC Champions League Week 1

Mazaheri has been absolutely superb vs Al Ain and kept ZA in the game with couple of decisive saves.

He is currently close 2nd choice keeper in TM imo

[Nokhodi]

The conceding on set pieces is bad. The one thing Iranian players were always good at in Asia no matter what was superiority in the air.
