Roozbeh Cheshmi Injured ! He will Miss Spain Match

[KasraKhan]

I can't blame anyone, including myself, for changing our opinion on Cheshmi.

Cheshmi looked terrible in all pre-WC friendlies, including vs. Turkey, Algeria, and Uzbek U-23. He was at fault for several goals in the pre-WC friendlies.

However, against Morocco, he played so well that a lot of us changed our minds. We should have the right to change our mind, right? Otherwise, we'b be clinging onto outdated opinions just for the sake of consistency. New facts and circumstances can lead a reasonable person to change their mind.

I call it the Martin-Reza test. If Martin-Reza, a very logical and rational person, says it, then it must be true. And Martin-Reza was rightly critical of Cheshmi before the WC. As was everyone else. We're not football coaching experts to see what CQ sees in him, and if we were, we wouldn't post on PFDC.
Moral of the story, blame Martin-Reza

Awful news

Majid Hosseini feels a bit too inexperienced to get to start vs Spain.. Except for his work in defense he was one of our most dangerous players on set-pieces too..

He brought in Hosseini as a sub, so I don't think his lack of experience will be an issue

[GolfePersique]

Wish him a speedy recovery!

I trust king CQ to find the best replacement for him!

[BacheLot]

I still like & rate young Hossaini more as a CB ..!
Cheshmi looked good last game mostly because he had 8 other players helping him out back, there were a couple of times I recall that Morocco went straight down the center at him up top & both times he barely got a head on them & dropped the ball 10feet in front of him @ top of the box which a good team like Spain coulda easily pounced on those & put a quick shot passed bey bey..!
I stilll really liked & rated him but definitely more as a DMidfilder..! His absence will surely be felt & it really sucks that we can’t bring a replacement Defensive cover for him ..!

I’m hoping this is just a CQ mind game news..!? I wonder Could CQ do such thing & not get in trouble for it ..!?

Cheshmi

I still have my doubts about the extend of his injury !!!
I watched a live interview he gave to irib3 yesterday and not one
Thing he said about being injured !!!!
But I have a feeling even if he is slightly hurt he will play in the Portugal game.
But now I just red in Tasnim news that the doctors said he will be
For 4 weeks so unfortunately it may be true.

Does this mean, Iran can call up from reserves ?? Jalal?

[sarbaz]

No it’s too late

TM is stuck with 22 players from now till the end of the WC

Does this mean, Iran can call up from reserves ?? Jalal?

Jalal is not on his reserve , i think aghaie is

[Tehranto]

Jalal is not on his reserve , i think aghaie is

No, standby list is Vouria, Kaveh and Jalal

[Saam]

He seems to be injured. In the pictures coming off the plane, he is holding on to the side railing as he walks down in a way that he is struggling.

[Bagg10]

I think Gholizadeh would be the replacement anyway. He traveled with the team and he's been training with them.

[iranghahreman]

Replacements have to be made 24 hours before first game, the deadline has passed

[inarsenewetrust]

I still somehow think this is fake news. If not, majid hosseini is ready.

[vatanparast]

Guys I went back and rewatched the Iran vs Morocco game. Majid Hosseini was excellent in the 10 min that he played. 100% he will start with Cheshmi being out.

I agree majid played well. But CQ loves khanzade. Montazeri has dropped off since 4 yrs ago. He is still solid but we won’t know who of the three will start.

[vatanparast]

Its lame why gholizade cant be called up as we are down to 22. What was point of having 24 then. They should change the rules so that a confirmed injury will allow #24 to replace the injured player
