Ebrahim Ashtiyani was the perfect man for what Allen Rogers wanted ,attacking right back who could go up and down the right flank and finding Kalani or Behzadi or Iranpaak with his precise crosses ,in getting up to the attacking position he normally had the assistance of Ali Parvin and these two on many occasions interacted together very well .
there have been three outstanding right backs and he was the first one and one of them ,the other two were Hasssan Nazari and Mehdi Mahdavikia .
Hassan Nazari was originally a midfield player but he was transferred to right back to fill Ashtiyani who had retired and he was an excellent replacement and became one of team melli's Aces ,just like Mahdavikia did two decades later ,it is very hard to say which one of them was better ,all three were tremendous , it was almost impossible to go past them in defence and they were all awsome in attacking form .
