Marked for Mehdi Dejagah

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Aleksandar Simić stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Reza Shojaei 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.

Squad

Ashkan Khodadad falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Siah Jamegan come up short against Padideh

Padideh left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Mehdi Dejagah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mehdi Dejagah and Siah Jamegan agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Abdollah Hosseini gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Mohammad Khodadad to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

When it matters, Aleksandar Simić plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Siah Jamegan and Mahyar Zahmatkesh are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

In brief
