Market

Morteza Taremi asks to leave Gostaresh Foulad

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Hossein Cheshmi says Gostaresh Foulad went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Gostaresh Foulad

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Amir Mohammad Panahi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Saeid Irankhah 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.

Squad

Gostaresh Foulad lose Shahriar Gholizadeh

22 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Morteza Taremi 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 Gostaresh Foulad can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad finish in position 8

44 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

The dugout

Amir Reza Jeddi: 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.” Gostaresh Foulad have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Gostaresh Foulad

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

Player ratings

Arash Hashemi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Gostaresh Foulad against Esteghlal Ahvaz

1‑3 to Esteghlal Ahvaz, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Morteza Taremi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Amir Mohammad Panahi 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.

Squad

Gostaresh Foulad count the cost of losing Shahriar Gholizadeh

51 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
