2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup

[St_Mark]

Few surprises.
He must be impressed with kor to take him, one of the youngest available players

Trying to guess Mahdavikia's choice
I think once Shahabbasi & Janmaleki were not options, then he selected two of the best ( Houshmand & Fallah ) + two of youngest one.
Kor & Hazbavi are two youngest in the list.

Also excited to see more of bavieh.

With khodabandelu,soltanimehr,yasin,hosseinzadeh,bavieh this may be our most talented u23 midfield line ever.

Only weird thing is exclusion of Ghobeishavi, would have thought he is certainly in squad and good chance of xi spot

Mahdavikia had a choice between 3 SNA players.
1-He selected youngest one from U19 Zavari ( eligible for Olmpic)
2- Choice between Ghobeishavi & Hamedifar went in favor of Hamidifar more likely because of his size and readiness.

He was member of Foulad U17, U19 & U22 and when Nekonam did not pick him up for senior team he moved to SNA and played well.


All three , Hamedifar is standing behind Ghobeishavi.

Football is about scoring and winning and fortunateare the teams that have good dependable forward that score regularly. PGLand our youth teams mostly don’t have good and strong target forward thatcan deliver during important game.
Last time U23 has strong offensive line consist of Delfi, Mohebbi, Sayadmanesh, Ghaedi. Azadi... but they did not advance from group stage. Same with U19 that failed to advance despite having Barzegar.

From list of 66 , that include ( Azadi, Hosseini,Dana, Barzegar , Monazami, Akashe, Aghaei and Mahdavikia selected Farzan Dana , Sasan Hosseini and Arya Barzegar.
May be exclusion of Azadi is the only surprise.Unlike other 3, Azadi is tall and more effective than others in the air.
Selection of Hosseini because of his good PGL games last s9eason, and Barzegar eligible for Olympic was expected and Coach decided Dana is better choice than Azadi.


Dana was with Iran U18, 2018 that failed to Qualify from group in Jordan. That team include, Janmaleki, Khodabendelo,Shariati, Sharifi, Aghaei,Nokhodkar...
Dana was top scorer of U17 ( 2018) and played for Peykan ( 2019) then moved to Fajrepasi . He is teammate with Barzegar.
He is best goal scorer for his team. He play more and score more than Barzegar.

Dana is relatively short forward but bulky and run well during the game but not very good in Arial attack. He is good but not in the level of Allahyar.

( indeed the only time Iran had a good scoring target forward was Kaveh during U16 championship. U16 won the championship and Kaveh was top gun.)

We will find out soon if he will be in final listand how well he will play.

It's not Olympic qualification but "AFC U-23 Asian Cup".

This tournament is held every two years. The Olympic year tournaments, such in 2016 and 2020, 2024 are doubled as the Olympic's AFC qualifiers, & 2022 is Afc U23 Asian cup.

آخرین ملی پوشان فولادی در لیست تیم ملی امید

علیرضا باویه و محمد امین حزباوی دو نماینده باشگاه فولاد خوزستان در آخرین اردوی تیم ملی امید قبل از سفر به تاجیکستان هستند.

علیرضا باویه، هافبک خوشتکنیک و گلزن اول رده سنی جوانان کشورمان، بازیکنی است که قابلیت بازی در پست هافبک تهاجمی، تدافعی و کناری را داراست و با توجه به تکنیک ناب و حرکات انفجاری در میانه زمین می تواند گره گشای لحظات حساس مسابقات باشد. علیرضا باویه قبلا سابقه کاپیتانی تیم ملی نوجوانان و همراهی تیم ملی جوانان را داشته است و این بار می تواند با کمک گرفتن از مهدوی کیا قابلیت های فنی اش را بیشتر از قبل به نمایش بگذارد.

.




Is he going it to make it to final list?
Can he deliver?

Behzad Salami is one of hopeful in the list of 29.

He was first selected for U19 over a year ago but did not get chance to play. When Tractorsazi faced shortage of players he earned starting position and did well.

He played full game versus, Perspolis , Golgohar, Zobahan , Esteghlal.... He played full game versus Al Nasr .
He is strong . tall and can score. He scored against Alum and Esteglal , he scored 2 days ago against Havadar too.

He has a chance if he can impress Mahdavikia during next 8 days.

I heard lots of praises about Azizi Khadem from Futsal and Banovan people. Seems like he is doing acceptable job so far. Hope Olympics team makes history. I have a friend who did some business with him recently and he was telling me, Khadem speaks decent English as well,

Seems like this should be a minimum qualification for such a job. You've got to be able to communicate effectively with world football/sports bodies to have a chance of getting anything done.
