Hossein Hosseini will be the guest on Navad tonight. His lobby is pushing hard.
As I have said before in terms of overall ability, most Iranian keepers are at the same level. Its their form which is inconsistent. 2 years ago Beiranvand was almost world class. He then broke his arm and never regained form. He was also playing for a team like Naft which meant he got tons of shot practice, something which is very rare in Persepolis because he is protected by Jalal Hosseini!
Still, Beiranvand's long throws are truly exceptional and against teams that take us lightly it could easily surprise.
Lets not forget we're coming off nearly 20 years of goalies who couldn't even kick the ball right due to nerves!
