100% agree. And if we ever do get trashed, the whole team will be responsible, not just the defensive line. The best four defenders in the world would crumble and made look silly if the lines in front of them don't pull their weight. Team sport... -
Which one of Pag or Kanani or Shoja have wrestling background? This is the weakest CB pair in a WC for TM ever. Never been trashed because never lined up two CBs from a retirement home.Originally posted by ParthianDE View PostComment

Regarding the midfield: One idea would be to create a council of the best former midfielders Iran has produced (e.g. Bagheri, Navidkia, Nekounam).
Some of the things this council would then do:
- develop methods to analyze Iranian players from all age groups for high level mid-field potential (this would include not just people who currently play as midfielders, but all positions)
- develop methods on how to nurture and develop players that have been deemed as "high potential"
- monitor all active players and make recommendations to the TM coaching teams (all age groups) on who to invite for try-outs
- do an analysis and ranking of all countries for producing great midfielders consistently (e.g. Italy, Spain, Germany). Focus on getting coaches from those countries, hiring midfielders into PGL teams and promoting Iranian midfield talents to go to these countries (see below)
- get involved with scouting for Iranian teams to hire great foreign midfielders to improve the PGL and provide learning opportunities. Since midfielders can play to a higher age than other positions, it should be possible to get some high quality older EURO midfielders for relatively little money (i.e. focus not on expensive (former) superstars, but solid, above average players). Focus more on hiring foreign midfielders, rather than strikers, defender, or goal keepers (all of which Iran has plenty of already at home).
- get involved with promoting young highly promising Iranian midfielders to European teams as early as possible in their developmentComment

What are the attributes that make a great midfielder:
- great vision with a birds eye view of the whole field at all times
- good ball control
- excellent ball distribution skills
- a deep knowledge of the capabilities of all the players on the field (of both teams!)
- fast decision making while at the same time being calm and being able to speed up, or slow things down as needed
What else? Please add on your thoughts.
Also, let's get a discussion started here on promising midfielders in Iran. Could someone maybe start a thread on that? Let's make this a team effort!Comment

IFF Board of Directors met in Mashahd today and made decisions about the budget for next year and upcoming matches vs Korea and Lebanon. Not a word about WC preparation. I am really concerned. Skocic was supposed to come back last Sunday. He needs to demand action.
Go TM!

Unfortunately, this is where a "yes man" separates from someone like CQ (he would be in front of any microphone he could find right now, bemoaning the lack of a coherent plan from IFF). I wish Dragan all the luck...but at some point, luck runs out, and you need to rely on training and preparation.Originally posted by Futbaldoost View PostComment

🔺ایران برابر کره جنوبی بی دفاع شد؟ | شجاع خلیل زاده جدیدترین مصدوم تیم ملی ایران
🔻هفته بیست و یکم لیگ ستارگان قطر یک بازی برگزار شد.در این دیدار الریان به مصاف الشمال رفت و توانست با نتیجه سه بر دو به پیروزی دست پیدا کند.
🔻شجاع خلیل زاده مدافع ایرانی الریان در ترکیب اصلی تیم خود به میدان رفت. او در دقیقه ۳۸ مصدوم شد و نتوانست به بازی ادامه دهد. باید دید وضعیت مصدومیت مدافع تیم ملی ایران به چه صورت است. اگر آسیب دیدگی شجاع جدی باشد او هم به لیست بلندبالای غایبان ایران برابر کره اضافه خواهد شد.
🔻پیش از شجاع، کنعانی زادگان و محرمی به دلیل محرومیت و مجید حسینی و پورعلیگنجی به دلیل مصدومیت بازی برابر کره را از دست داده بودند.
Seems Shoja Khalilzadeh is the latest injury and his status for South Korea is unclear.
Honestly, may be a blessing in disguise. We need to start Morteza (if he is ready) and Majid Hosseini and call up the likes of Amir Janmaleki and Saman Fallah."This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis. And it’s one that does not grant freedoms of any kind, or accommodate people’s demands in any way. What is increasingly clear is that there is clear demand for change in the regime. What the people want is regime change, and no return to the past. There is a very real possibility of regime change." - Nasrin SotoudehComment

PAG cannot be utilized. He hasn't played a minute of football anywhere for months!Originally posted by taremiscores View Post
I really think we'll see Omid and maybe Hosseini start (if healthy).

I agree. He’s coming off an ACL tear. One of the worst injuries in sports. Who knows if he’s ever gonna be the same, let alone a starter, let alone a central defender in a 3-4-3.Originally posted by Nokhodi View PostComment

Morteza Pouraliganji?? I am pretty sure he hasn't played a minute this season? There is no way he makes it to the WCOriginally posted by taremiscores View Post--------------------------Beiranvand-------------------
