Ahmadi and Hasheminejad seem like Kia's likely choice for LB and RB right? Hamedifar I think is competing with Zavari for spot in midfield next to Khodabandelou and Yasin.

Dear
You are correct

Hasheminejad will start just like qualification games.

Ahmadi may not start now that Jafari has been playing as LB for past 3 games ( including Golgohar, Persepolis , Nassaj ) but he will play when he get chance.

Hamedifar who score today against MIS is not with the team. He was injured for months and recently recovered fully, unfortunately he was not included.
Mahdavikia included Pilaram as third DM. He is a fighter but not have size and Authority of Hamedifar.

Iranian U23 players were in Karbala today
It is understandable some young players want to take advantage of trip and visit Najaf & Karbala but are they missing Training?

We will find out tomorrow in 2nd match if they were distracted.

While our people rummage through garbage bins to get some leftover foods. Superficial, corrupt and irreligious.

We will beat them again. Of course they'll come seeking revenge for the 3 consecutive beatings senior TM gave their senior team. But we will win.

It's a friendly, and I am interested in performance and improvement. Of course a win is ice on the cake.

Wins we need are on June 1, 4. 7 official games.

I know it's a friendly. But they'll come swinging as they did in the first match. Despite it being a friendly.

A win is always an ice on the cake versus the likes of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain especially.
