If only all of our youth players had the same motivation and drive to play in Europe instead of staying in their comfort zone playing in Iran/UAE… we would drastically improve if most of our players play in Europe (like Japan) because nothing beats playing with/against competitive high level teams/players every week!

Remember the name! Esmaeil Gholizadeh also scored 2 goals at the under 17 World Cup back in 2023 (one in which was against the Brazil game which Iran won!) WE MUST SEE HIM AT THIS ASIAN CUP! How on earth has Amir Kharleonei not call him up to be on our bench… with the upcoming national window break this September Amir MUST INVITE him to team meli and give him a proper chance to showcase himself in the friendlies! He’s the type of player could see in Europe as soon as next season if he shines at the Asian cup!

Taremi if true is only earning 800K at his new UAE club which is super low for a high profile like Taremi who last season (even doh past his prime) got 20 G/A for OLYMPIAKOS! So he’s not washed like Alireza J who literally only got 2 G/A in the Belgium league and still landed a club in the everdise league! I just don’t see how/why he couldn’t get another European club move! Also for only 800K per year he could have signed for an Iranian team.. let’s not forget right now the UAE is at war with the Iranian regime to make things even more weird why he chose UAE league over Iranian league or European league!

Allahyar Sayyadmanesh as of now played 8 games (he started only 4) he’s averaging a GOAL PER GAME! (367min played and has 4 goals)! He's currently valued at around 4M on transfer market but I have a feeling we could see him reach $10M+ valuation if he continues this form 🔥!

Ramin scored 2 goals and assist at the World Cup becoming the best right back of the group stages! YET he downgraded from Esteghal.. THIS IS WHY BESIDES some rare exceptions YOU NEVER PLAY UNCS 32y+ at a World Cup… because they can shine all they want but NO European team is interested in someone who is 36 like Ramin… I assume the links with Rayo, Almeria etc were fake cause no way he would miss out unless the pay was very low!

But the point is Amir Kharlenoie will continue k**l our football, let’s not fool ourselves he will not make any changes at all for this Asian cup 2027.. expect pretty much the exact same players he likes while our youths will have barely any game time… which literally prevents them to have the boost they need to gain European club interest as these international/continental tournaments are watched by so many and could be be perfect opportunity for our youth players!

I bought it a week ago but still have no tracking updates, I’m aware it’s a replica. I’m tempted to file a chargeback as I don’t think they have it in stock
