Squad

Reza Taremi 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 Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mehdi Ghoddos 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.

Player ratings

Matías Mansilla runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Pejman Moharrami 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.

Loan watch

Ashkan Taremi counts the days

“I watch every Gostaresh Foulad game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Naft Tehran runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Milad Rezaeian

A mark of 7.39, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad out of the cup

Persepolis ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Saeid Pouraliganji 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

7 matches without a win for Gostaresh Foulad

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Gostaresh Foulad are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Majid Dejagah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Persepolis leaves Gostaresh Foulad explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 5 of the 25 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Vouria Noorafkan 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 Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mehdi Ghoddos 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.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad come up short against Sepahan

Sepahan left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Saeid Pouraliganji

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 5 of the 25 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Shahriar Taremi 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 Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad come up short against Persepolis

Persepolis left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Mehdi Ghoddos 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

The manager makes an example of Milad Rezaeian

“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.

Market

Talks stall between Gostaresh Foulad and Mehdi Ghoddos

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Saeid Pouraliganji asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

No place for Ali Taremi in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ali Taremi has his answer from Gostaresh Foulad; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
