Chimba 2-0

I am interested in performance of a few players :

1. Hardani. Supposedly he’s been in great form. Young and quick RB. We have shortage there besides moharrami.

2.derakhshanmehr. I thought he was very good in u20 wc with shekari. A super technical LB who even played rw and lw a lot for zob ahan.he is still quite young and if he develops with nekou him and noorafkan are good competition/cover for milad who himself does not look good for tm recently.

3.aghasi. Skocic has invited him to a few tm camps. From few games I have seen he seems like a quick, no nonsense CB with good fighting qualities

follow up time :

1. Hardani was brilliant. He has great speed, excellent technique, nice crossing, and dangerous shot with BOTH feet. He felt comfortable cutting onto left and unleashing from range and applying an excellent hammer with right foot for opening goal. He is only 21 and imo is 100% worthy of TM callup. Also impressed with him being switched on at backpost from crosses during defensive duties, a usual weak spot for young full backs. How skocic can call up nemati instead of this guy is a madness.

2- Derakhshanmehr was excellent. He has good physical attributes, very good technically under pressure, and his defensive reading was spot on tonight. A couple great tackles/interceptions as most danger from al ain was coming from their wide players whch he dealt with pefectly. I like to see him and noorafkan in direct competition for the milad backup spot.

3- Aghasi. Not tested much, but looked solid enough on the ball and in the air. Still think for CB role our 4 guys are quite set with PAG,Shoja,Kanani,Majid at the moment.

So what Foolad group will be?

[Nokhodi]

Nekounam does one thing that is very similar to CQ. He constantly downplays his team and Iranian football to the point of hyperbole. Before this he was saying Iranian football has nothing

Azari (Foolad technical director) pumping team up pre game...Man this guy means business. Wish he got IFF head role.

Wish Sepahan of this season was there instead of Tractor but well....

Wow This IS DISGUSTING ! So Saudi arabia will HOST all of Esteghlal and Foolad's ACL games . UAE will host all of Terakhtor's ACL games and India will host all of Perspolis games! Disgusting ! Hows india safer than Iran when it comes to corona ?????

One question tho if its the same host for all countries then why is it a home and away game?

So far Thailand is hosting all of East Region games because apparantly they are covid free country at the moment . Why can't they do the same for West? One safe country hosting all of the game! Like Qatar .

Wish Sepahan of this season was there instead of Tractor but well....

Tractor has a easy group but some how they will mess it up . Hopefully they can atleast advance as one of the top Three 2nd teams (with highest points)

Tractor is always a shocker in ACL, like Uzbekistan
