Panionios coach on Masoud's performance vs. AEL:
"-Massood capital. Iran was very good at the match with AEL and played as it should and can. You told the press conference that you had a chat with him. Do you want to tell us something more?
"I said so at Sunday's press conference, it is a great honor for Greek football and Panionios to be Masoud here, but in the modern history of the team, Masoud is a huge capital and racing and as a personality, so when the team has such a footballer, we should think that something is happening to him and he is not playing as he can: he is physically very good, so we had to concentrate on the psychological part. he was a gentleman during the games and he complained of himself.There is quite another person in training.I really like to know him this year I get a little fun.This is the night between training and fight.Of course he does not protect the referees and this is truth. He is a child who also receives markings and puts him "man to man". So when they all deal with him and does not get what he has to take is a problem. He is not a computer, he is human. We had a discussion about football and in general. I said so on Sunday was a huge sacrifice that put itself in the process of risking the globe just for one game. He could say he could not play. He played the risk, because he loves Panionios and his teammates. The results are also known to you. He is in danger of remaining out of the World Cup, although I do not believe it, I think he will go to the World Cup. He is the leader of Iran. All this puts them at risk for our team. So we talked about all the issues and it really was a productive debate, I was filled with this debate. I also told my colleagues before the Sunday match that it would be a different Masood. ""

Based on this Greek source, Panionios management and officials are attempting to assist Masoud in getting back into Team Melli. It appears they are in touch with IFF to try and resolve the issue:
"A shock from Iran did not bend Masud
Sodje Masoud has passed his ... Christ passions because of his decision to fight in the game of Panionios with Maccabi. Nevertheless it does not bend and is preparing for the World Cup!
More than a month has passed since Panionios with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Shojay Masoud has not yet overtaken the shock.
We are not talking about exclusion from the Israelis, but about what Iran has "pulled" on the day of the match at an extra-competitive level.
That Thursday morning, the Iranian star opened the computer and received a mail from the Iranian Football Federation, which said he could not play in the match after a few hours because of Israel's tense relations with Iran.
The player hesitated but took the decision to play as he had promised to the Panionians, as he did with a "fragile" psychology.
In the days following the game Masoud did not calm down. It was pressured to make even a statement that he would not question his country's extra-territorial relations with Israel.
The statement looks inevitable and the player will do it at some point. Panionios, for his part, is trying to help his big star to re-establish his relations with his country's federation and play normally in the World Cup of Russia.
In the last few days, and after the conversation he had with Zamanis and Gregory, Masoud has taken over again after he has encouraged him. Time, after all, is the best doctor."
