I do miss him in goal for Iran , specially the Abedzadeh before that horrible injury .........he never really recovered from that bad knee injury and carried on playing more with his spirit and experience .
those who played in goal know that having problems with your knee would seriousely hinder your performance , you can not jump and put pressure on your knees the way you want and that would reduce your playing ability .
I did notice in his movements that he somehow had to drag his leg as his knee was not functioning properly , shame really becuase he got injured against a lowly team in Asia in a meaningless game .....just like we lost Navidkia in a meaningless game in korea .
A play maker like Navidkia is what we need these days to play behind Dejagah and Gucci and Jahanbakht , just like a fit Abedzadeh against Yugoslavia could have earned us atleast a point from that game .
