Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sardar Hajsafi

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Hossein Gholizadeh 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

8 matches without a win for Gostaresh Foulad

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Gostaresh Foulad are no longer polite ones.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad and Malavan take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Gostaresh Foulad pick somebody else ahead of Pejman Gholizadeh

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad

Sardar Hajsafi is off the mark for Gostaresh Foulad

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Gostaresh Foulad

0‑3 against Esteghlal, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Hossein Gholizadeh

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Ramin Hajsafi 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.

Match

No end in sight to Gostaresh Foulad's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Gostaresh Foulad has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vouria Ebrahimi

“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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Gostaresh Foulad

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
