If the World Cup was next week, I think it only makes sense for Dragan to start Amir.
Beiranvand has struggled in the last year because he hasn't been playing regularly. We've seen his form flop in Team Melli and it's not good. However, however, if Alireza gets back in form and plays consistently I will take him over Amir.
I have a lot of respect for Amir. He's a hard working athlete. It's not easy for goalkeepers who are also foreigners to do well in Europe. Which is why many of our goalkeepers refuse to leave Iran because they don't want to risk not playing and losing their form. Amir didn't use his father's name and waste away in our league. If anything he was raised right. Of course his dad had his back, but Amir made a name for himself because he earned it. He risked it by going abroad and look at him now. He's made us all proud.
I also have to be completely honest and nothing against Amir. I believe Beiranvand is better than Amir if Beiranvand gets consistent playing time against worthy opponents. When Beiro is doing really well, nobody can touch him. And these aren't just words, he's proven it time after time. He's proven it with performances in the AFC Champions League, at the Asian Cup and at the World Cup. He's got a lot of experience in tough competitions and is composed despite his form. So if Beiranvand gets back into form he should start at the World Cup.
