Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ahmad Khodadad

19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Siah Jamegan lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Ehsan Shojaei leads the rout of Naft Tehran

3‑0, and Ehsan Shojaei took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Siah Jamegan tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

A brace, and Ehsan Shojaei takes the afternoon — 8.47

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ehsan Shojaei provided it, and the 8.47 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Kaveh Dejagah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Andrea Tedesco: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Siah Jamegan have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Mohammad Gholizadeh in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Siah Jamegan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Reza Khodadad in the eights

A performance of 8.49 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

Alireza Noorafkan has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Alireza Noorafkan on a 3‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout

Vouria Jahanbakhsh has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Siah Jamegan will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

$980.0K — a new record at Siah Jamegan

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Market

Siah Jamegan say no — this time

The offer from Zob Ahan for Vouria Jahanbakhsh was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Omid Noorafkan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Siah Jamegan can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Lautaro Rivero turns down Siah Jamegan

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: River Plate keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Tempers go at Siah Jamegan

Mohammad Gholizadeh was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

The town asked, and Siah Jamegan paid $980.0K

Saman Fallah was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $980.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Market

Mohammad Pouraliganji attracts admirers

The name of Mohammad Pouraliganji has come up in conversations Siah Jamegan were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Player ratings

Kaveh Dejagah was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Saman Fallah out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Saman Fallah, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

9 saves: Milad Nekounam was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

Siah Jamegan taken apart

0‑3 to Persepolis, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Player ratings

Ashkan Mohammadi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

A falling-out at Siah Jamegan

Ashkan Mohammadi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Siah Jamegan

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Siah Jamegan rebuffed over Dylan Moody

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Southampton have kept their man, and Siah Jamegan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Ahmad Khodadad joins the Siah Jamegan first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ahmad Khodadad is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Ehsan Vafaei joins the Siah Jamegan first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ehsan Vafaei is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Saeid Beiranvand steps up from the Siah Jamegan academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Saeid Beiranvand has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
