Mehdi Taremi @ FC Porto | 2020-2021

[ShiroKhorshid]

By the way, so far Taremi has either scored or assisted every 61 minutes for Porto. This is so damn good, its starting to get scary.

I think Taremi will be able to play 5-6 more years without a problem. A lot of players who came to Europe from lower intensity leagues(Qatar, China, etc) have made comments about how their bodies aren't as worn out. Taremi also doesn't rely on pace on top of that.

Lets pray he turns out to be an Ibrahimovic, so we can enjoy him for the next 10 years.

I never understood CQ’s fixation with Taremi till now. He saw something in him that we’re seeing it now manifest at a high level in a European club.

I did not expect him to be as successful as he’s been. I remember in the analysis of the post portugal game (it was either mahdavikia or farhad majidi) that said “he’d make that last shot on goal if he had experience playing abroad,” or something along the lines of that.

I see it now

Out of his many talents, winking is definitely not one

Taremi is a European case study

This is a special case that has aroused curiosity in Liga NOS. Mehdi Taremi , striker that this season reinforced FC Porto, from Rio Ave, is a player who, in addition to all his quality as a forward, has a special characteristic: he suffers an unusually high number of fouls within the big area, for penalty . And before the reader has time to connect the “clubite chip” there is already the “spoiler”: the Iranian started to build the statistical fact that we will detail in the last season, at the Rio Ave service.

The statistical data leave no doubt and, when analyzing them, we realize that this is not a phenomenon restricted to our championship. This is a specific characteristic of Taremi that is not found in any other player, in Portugal and in the main European leagues - England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.



Namely, in the sum of the seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21, Mehdi was fouled in the area on 11 occasions, four more than the second in this list, the Frenchman Nabil Fekir , who was knocked down seven times in the service of Betis de Seville. Thirdly, interestingly, another Liga NOS player, the Brazilian Carlos Júnior, from Santa Clara , who has already been fouled for a penalty in six situations (three on 20/21), the same number as Lazio's Ciro Immobile . Then there is a list of athletes with five, led by Riyad Mahrez - "top" defined in ascending order of minutes of use.

This absolute value of 11 conquered penalties based mainly on Mehdi performance in 2019/20, at the service of Rio Ave . Only on the 4th round of the previous season, during his visit to Sporting, did the Iranian “pull out” three penalties - all committed by Sebastián Coates -, being decisive for the 3-2 win in Vila Real . Altogether there were eight penalties suffered last season .

In 2020/21 there were three, leading a wide range of players in the main European leagues who have already suffered three infractions for maximum punishment. This season, this value is not, therefore, extraordinary, and it is not a unique case , far from it, but the trend shows that this ability of Taremi was not exclusive to the past season and promises to remain .

In the care of all opponents, who will certainly be more careful to lead with Mehdi, a player that this season in Liga NOS is only the sixth in number of ball actions in the opposite areas, but that in the calculation of the two seasons is the second, with 213, just behind 220 of Moussa Marega .

Curious to confirm for yourself all the faults that make Taremi this “case study”? So here it is, we did the homework for you:

Most of his Rio penalties were bullshit calls ahahha - All porto calls solid penalties

Seems like soon FIFA & AFC will arrange extensive refereeing classes on how not to fall for Taremi's diving trickeries
He is the dream striker of all Italian teams!

I really enjoy watching Porto games, This team plays great football. The way they play and the spirit in the team reminds me of Manu and Alex Ferguson era in the 90s.
Taremi is playing absolutely the way he should as a great striker

CHAMPION MOVES ON AFTER FRANTIC MATCH
JANUARY 12, 2021 8:41 PM
FC Porto went to Madeira to beat Nacional 4-2 in the Round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup
FC Porto had to fight hard to qualify to the quarter finals of the Portuguese Cup. This Tuesday, early evening, at Choupana, the title holders of the competition, needed to go to extra time to confirm the victory over Nacional da Madeira, 4-2. With six changes in comparison to the team that beat Famalicão, in the previous matchday of Liga NOS, Luis Díaz was the one opening the scoreboard at Estádio da Madeira. The home team responded in the first-half, turned the score around in the second, and the triplet holders were only able to tie it again 88 minutes in. In extra time, the inevitable Sérgio Oliveira and Mehdi Taremi, along with Diogo Costa, were decisive to help the blue and whites remain in the competition, and now the team will wait to see who wins the match opposing Gil Vicente and Académico de Viseu.

FC Porto went in looking for the goal and, even before minute five, Sérgio Oliveira had already made the first shot of the match. In the following corner-kick, the top scorer of the Dragons in 2020/21 almost scored an Olympic goal, denied by the post. The third and fourth blue and white opportunities also came from the feet of the number 27, but didn’t scare Nacional. 20 minutes in, Nanu crossed with his left foot, Toni Martínez went for it and the shot came out near Riccardo’s right post. One minute later, Nanu again used his left foot for another cross. Luis Díaz escaped his marker to receive it and, after an excellent movement from Mehdi Taremi, found space to show all his quality, scoring the first of the afternoon in the archipelago of Madeira. The response came soon after and the team led by Luis Freire tied in the only opportunity they had in the first-half. Riascos took off on the right wing, crossed low to Rochez and the forward was effective against the blue and white centre defenders. On a pitch that was starting to become unplayable, and facing the wind, the next opportunity was made in Olival: a free-kick on the right for FC Porto, Tecatito Corona passed short for Diogo Leite and the left-handed central defender shot from distance and hit the top bar with violence. Before the break, Corona used his magic to pass to Luis Díaz with his heel inside the area, but the Colombian was unable to follow up and the shot went outside.

With more than a dozen shots from the national champions against one for the home team, the teams switched sides and returned from the locker room for the second-half. The trend of the first-half continued for the second, with FC Porto playing in the opposing midfield and constantly looking for the goal in numerous initiatives. However, and in the second shot of the match, Nacional made it 2-1. Gorré passed to Riascos and the Colombian scored in a powerful shot. Shortly after, Rui Correia stopped Toni Martínez from reaching the ball just outside the area and was shown his second yellow card in the match. From here, and one more man on the pitch, the Dragons risked everything. Sérgio Conceição sent in Otávio and Zaidu to replace Marko Grujic and Malang Sarr and the opportunities continued to come. After João Mário and Marega replaced Nanu and Toni Martínez, the Iranian-Malian duo almost made it count. But the secret weapon of the blue and white attack was still on the bench. Twenty seconds after replacing Diogo Leite, and on the first time he touched the ball, Evanilson tied the match close to the end. On the next play, Nacional shot at the angle from the midfield and forced the number 99 to a great save. In stoppage time, Mehdi Taremi was pushed from the back in the area, but António Nobre ignored it. Called by Vasco Santos to watch the footage, the referee from Leiria kept his decision and chose to not signal the penalty.

For the second week in a row, Taremi became the Man of the Portuguese league.
