Fans familiar with Iranian football and the tragic history of Chinese men's football at the end of the last century probably have a certain impression of the Iranian national goal. The main player of the Iranian national team at that time was Ahmed. Ressa. Ahmad Reza Abedzadeh. Born in May 1966, Abzadeh played 79 matches for the Iranian national team.
The dude was the captain of the Iranian national team and played for the national team in the 1997 Top 10. Witnessed Iran's 2-time victory over the Chinese national team. In November 1997, as the starting goalkeeper, he played in two World Cup play-offs against Australia. In the end, Iran relied on the slight advantage of scoring more goals away from home to qualify for the World Cup in France.
At the World Cup, he made his debut in the last two group games, witnessing the historic moment when the team beat the United States 2-1. However, the team was still out with a score of 1 win and 2 losses.
Born in 1966, Abezzadih did not get the chance to stay abroad, and his career was spent in Iran's domestic league.
His son Amir was born in April 1993. Amir's son inherited his father's business and became a goalkeeper, but he did not inherit his father's height genes, and the adult Amir was only 1 meter 85 tall, which is a typical short goalkeeper in contemporary football.
Amir's upbringing is special, starting his career in Brentford, England, and then he moved into Tottenham's echelon. The player traveled to the United States for a time, and it was not until July 2012 that he returned to Iran to join the giant team Persepolis.
Before the age of 19, his footprints had spread across three continents. In October 2016, Amir joined the Portuguese league. For nearly 4 years, he played for both Barreirense and Marítimo. In the Portuguese Premier League, Amir made 75 appearances and completed 23 clean sheets.
He has undergone a transition from substitute to post to main in Portugal. The player also had the embarrassment of being sent off with a direct red card in 40 minutes against Porto in 2018.
Because Marítimo is not a big team, it is a good achievement to complete a clean sheet of nearly 1/3 of the game. In the summer of 2021, Amir joined Pomfi Pradina in La Liga on a free transfer. Here, he is dressed in the Number 1 trench coat.
Since joining the company, he has played 35 games for the team and completed 9 clean sheets. After the start of the season, the team scored six points in the first four rounds of the tournament, temporarily ranking 11th in the standings. In fact, Pomfe Pradina is not without upgrading strength, but the team is more willing to mix in the West B. Last season, the team was just five points away from the promotion play-off theater.
Amir was selected for the national team for the first time in 2018. As a substitute goalkeeper for the national team, he has played in 9 games so far. The main goalkeeper of the Iranian national team is now the more versatile Beranwand, a 1992-born goalkeeper who has played for teams in the First Division and the Portuguese Premier League, and has now returned to Persepolis in the Iranian league.
In the second half of the World Preliminary Round in the first half of this year, Amir played five games as the main player. In June of this year, he also played in a friendly match. Not surprisingly, Amir will be given the opportunity to play in the World Cup in Qatar, the second World Cup of his career.
As early as 2018, Amir was selected for the final squad of the national team. However, at that time, he did not get a chance to play.
