Why Jalal Hosseini was dropped?

I will paste my text about Hosseini here as well:

Guys, if you think about it, you realize that CQ wanted to replace Seyd Jalal for a very long time. Many many months ago, before Montazeri was injured, I remember CQ had started to use him and Pouraliganji pair all the times while Hosseini was on the bench. All the way then he knew he was gonna replace Hosseini. Fortunately (since the pair were highly shaky) or unfortunately, Montazeri was injured and he had to go with reliable Hosseini for the most part of our very important WCQ games. Now in the last few friendlies you see he has been trying combination of young players in CD.

I think CQ was always certain about exclusion of 2 players from this WC since one to two years ago. 1. Andranik Teymourian. 2. Jalal Hosseini. In the first case, Ezatollahi easily stepped up and Haji Safi showed he could play well there. The latter however had to remain in TM for a long time due to lack of good replacements.

Sly Jan I'm quoting you but my post is not directed at you.


For lack of a better word: that's a BS, immature and unprofessional reasoning. And I know that the CQ lovers will come up with any and all irrational hypocrite reasoning to justify any BS CQ says and does but the rest of the people are not as stupid as you wished..

How much of a double standard before you guys feel ashamed yourself. All the justifying of why Gucci, who had a shitty season and hasn't had impact on any TM games in a while, being included. Him being level headed, having experience, needing less chances, etc.

And Hosseini doesn't?????

Hosseini is one of the best defenders we have had for a long time. He is rock in our defence line, provides stability and calmness, and he actually scores once in while too.

So seriously, stop justifying it with your BS arguments. Just say CW is the coach, he gets to choose and that's it.

CQ's meaningless comments on the exclusions:

-Breaking News - Carlos Quieroz comments on Hosseini and Ghafouri omissions
-On Jalal - "he's always been in every squad & I respect him immensely.But it's time to look ahead & let some of next generation grow up..."
-"he's always been reliable & remains on standby if we need him. But I need to trust the youngsters and build for the future" on Hosseini
-On Ghafouri "I've spoken to him about remaining at RB at club & country. We don't need wingers as we have Alireza, Karim & Gholizadeh.."
-"seeing him at RW for Esteghlal in recent times made up my mind as we need a strong solid right back for Team Melli"

If Jalal Hosseini was out of gas in the final game against Bosnia 4 YEARS ago, then how would it be now against Spain and Portugal?

I think that CQ has learnt from his past mistakes actually. Football is still a sport and the survival of the fittest, not the ones with most experience.

More BS on top of BS. You don't cut an experienced player just as you're about to play in the world cup. You do that after our way before so you can try and improve the new ones for a couple of years at least before they have to perform on the highest level.

Typical hypocrisy of CQ defenders: Hosseini couldn't be improved in 4 years time but CQ could improve the whole team in 8 weeks time on all levels, including stamina, passing, jumping, speed etc. (Go read the comments on Karimi's bashing thread after the 90 episode).

Exactly. World cup is the last place you start your regeneration. Lame excuse.

It will be interesting if someone did an analysis of how Jalal has been used in the last 5 or so games. If memory serves me right he was transitioning him out. So it was on the cards and not out of the blue.

[sirvan]

Exactly, Hosseini was gradually being phased out. So this is not something that comes out of the blue. Khanzadeh is our fifth option as central defender: after Pouraliganji, Montazeri, Majid Hosseini and Cheshmi, and our third choice for right back after Rezaeian and Montazeri, so his inclusion serves as last option due to lack of quality defenders in Iran and Khanzadeh being a physically strong and fit guy. Who here would have accepted Jalal Hosseini being fifth option as central defender? As some here rightly noted, Quieroz likes players who are versatile and physically fit (run alot), that's his playing style and his right as a coach! And by now we know that if someone knows about defending it's Quieroz!! Iranians have to be the most annoying and whining supporters on the planet (who know everything), let the man do his job and support your country for crying out loud!

[sirvan]

Tehranto our mister revolutionary starts this thread based on a rumor (rumor has it), ridicolous! No Jalal Hosseini was not dropped due to Quieroz's beef with Branko or Hosseini or his aunt, he was excluded because he's old and slow (get's tired faster) and thus would not physically be able to keep up during the intense world cup, playing three exhausting games in a short period, plain and simple.

It's not as if Quieroz does not train with his players and knows nothing of their fitness level

I know your text was not directed to me but I just need to let you know, what I said was not a justification and I'm as shocked, sad and angry as you are about all this. I'm just trying to be level headed and find a logical explanation for all this.

[MR.S]

Looks like their is more girls on this forum than I initially thought.

[Martin-Reza]

The man is 37, I don't think one needed much fantasy to understand there always were question marks about his presence at world cup.

And stop the Khanzadeh argument, quite obviously Khanzadeh is there as right-back option which can also be used as center-back. Similar to Cheshmi, who can be used as DM and CB. Hosseini only can be used as center-back, so it's Majid Hosseini who took his spot.

[Homa]

To be fair: i always had doubts, if JH is fast enough against the quick play of Spain and Portugal.
I am absolutely sure that this is the reason behind the decision .
