From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 Jan 2028

Mehdi Taremi breaks a bone — 70 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 70 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

Ramin Rezaeian has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Rah Ahan can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Match1 Jan 2028

Nowhere to hide for Rah Ahan

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

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

Pressure builds in the Rah Ahan boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Shahriar Yazdani 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.

Market3 Jan 2028

Omid Cheshmi attracts admirers

The name of Omid Cheshmi has come up in conversations Rah Ahan were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Majid Hajsafi says Rah Ahan 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.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Miguel Araujo 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 Rah Ahan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Rah Ahan

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

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Abror Sarimsoqov
  • Boardroom Nobody left the Rah Ahan dressing room in a hurry
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

Match11 Dec 2027

The wait goes on for Rah Ahan

46 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Mehdi Taremi breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Words exchanged at Rah Ahan

Abror Sarimsoqov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Words at Rah Ahan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Masoud Vafaei 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.

Match11 Dec 2027

Rah Ahan are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match11 Dec 2027

Malavan take the points off Rah Ahan

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Looking ahead13 Dec 2027

A six-pointer for Rah Ahan

Saba next, and both sides can do the sum. Win and the table looks different; lose and it looks the way everybody has been fearing.

The dugout13 Dec 2027

Ramin Rezaeian faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Ramin Rezaeian after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match6 Nov 2027

The wait goes on for Rah Ahan

41 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Mehdi Taremi breaks a bone — 129 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 129 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match6 Nov 2027

Rah Ahan 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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Masoud Vafaei 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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Rah Ahan

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

The dugout8 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Hossein Moharrami

“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.

Boardroom8 Nov 2027

Inquest at Rah Ahan

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout8 Nov 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Ramin Rezaeian left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad8 Nov 2027

“I want to play”: Farjad Fayaz speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
