Market

Vahid Rezaeian agrees terms with Padideh

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Gostaresh Foulad people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Player ratings

A brace, and Cheick Oumar Souaré takes the afternoon — 8.71

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Cheick Oumar Souaré provided it, and the 8.71 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Vahid Moharrami

There were 7 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

Rah Ahan come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Gostaresh Foulad did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Ali Hassani due for a Gostaresh Foulad medical

Everything agreed with Foolad, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Match

Padideh take the points off Gostaresh Foulad

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Cheick Oumar Souaré 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.

Transfer targets

Gostaresh Foulad rebuffed over Santiago Beltrán

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

Match

Cheick Oumar Souaré answers Padideh immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Cheick Oumar Souaré had Gostaresh Foulad level again within 1 minutes, and Padideh never got to play with a lead at all.

In brief

Squad

A fracture rules Ali Dejagah out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gostaresh Foulad will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Vintage Vahid Rezaeian — 7.98

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.98, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Cheick Oumar Souaré 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Gostaresh Foulad

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Yousef Vakia was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Vahid Rezaeian the difference as Gostaresh Foulad beat Sepahan

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vahid Rezaeian. 1‑0 against Sepahan, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Gostaresh Foulad count the cost of losing Sardar Moharrami

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Mehdi Mohammadi kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout

Gostaresh Foulad pick somebody else ahead of Reza Moharrami

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.

The dugout

Ramin Noorafkan does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
