So what?
LOL it even looks funny when you put Rahmati's name next to Abedzadeh's, whats even funnier then that is that a keeper like Mirzapour only got 4 caps less then Rahmati. So i guess based on your idea of looking at it. The difference between Rahmati and Mirzapour is a measly 4 caps, while BETTER yet, the difference between mighty Mirzapour and legend Abedzadeh is only 6 caps. Your right, there's so much "logic" there, i can barely even handle it. So to answer your question, yes, a joke like Rahmati and Mirzapour can get 70+ caps due to the rubbish quality of goalkeepers available in Iran.
Not true at all, i have been a critic of Rahmati when he has been poor & i have supported him when he has done well. Like i mentioned in my previous post. He has not evolved as a keeper since his "rise" and so called consistent period. He is 31 years old, he is meant to get better (maybe even in his prime right now), yet he is only getting worse. We have already seen the best of Rahmati, and that was in the 2010 World Cup Qualifier, period. He has not improved, nor even showcased anything near that form.
Yes it certainly is, i don't care about what other people are hating him for. But me personally, it definitely is on a technical level.
See, you keep bringing up the fact that he has 80 caps (which is wrong, he has 77 caps) as if he is entitled to a certain right within Team Melli. I don't care if he has 250 caps or whatever. In fact, it just makes whatever he did even worse. The fact that he is a "veteran" and has 77 caps, you would think you could expect more from a player of his experience.
Hashemian returned under a different coach, under a different head of IFF, under a new team. Ivankovic didn't have anything against Hashemian did he? At least Hashemian was man enough to come out in public and say WHY he left TM. Like Mashdi pointed out, didn't Rahmati claim he would give his reasons for leaving TM after the World Cup qualifiers? Well, where are they?? Ohh that's right, his plan of being begged back to Team Melli backfired, Iran went on to keeping 3 clean sheets and qualifying for the World Cup.
On top of all that, Hashemian was making a case for himself in the Bundesliga to be recalled and given another chance. Are you seeing Rahmati even remotely making a case for himself to even show Queiroz and the Iranian public that we are missing out on his presence in TM? Cause i don't think he is. Like i said, keepers like Makani and Laak even have stronger cases for that spot to Brazil then Rahmati does. Team Melli does not owe Rahmati anything so stop bringing up his number of caps as if that entitles him to a ticket to Brazil.
The only logic is this, Rahmati disrespected Queiroz, so under the era of Queiroz you will not be seeing Rahmati. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?
Team discipline is one of the most important elements of structure and organization when setting up a team. It starts and ends with the head coach. It sets the tone for the team over the course of Queiroz's stay. It determines the success or lack thereof in competitions. It can make solving problems easy and it can help you avoid other problems altogether (like the situation we had in 2006 World Cup). Coaches all desire strong team discipline, it can come down to little things even. I guarantee you that every single TM player knew Queiroz's policy or would have been told by Queiroz himself at some stage. So Rahmati and Aghili knew this policy up front, , when an athlete speaks out against the coach, what do you expect the coach to do? Oh that's ok Mr. Rahmati you have 77 caps in TM, ill let you remain. Queiroz has established respect and credibility and he will never budge. But wait aghaye Rahmati has 77 caps......
I think the actions taken out against Rahmati and Aghili seem so severe to some members because in TM they are not used to professionalism. Even Branko, he was the bitch of his own players, he couldn't even control his own dressing room let alone lead Team Melli.
Rahmati and Aghili's little stunt to be begged back would have worked under any Iranian coach, but not under someone like Queiroz who understands the chaos it could create if he does not continue to follow his strict team policy. Maybe if what Aghili and Rahmati did was on club level, there would be a punishment, then a return. But this is International football, there is a massive pool of players to pick from, and like i mentioned previously. A coach, like Queiroz himself, will pick the best "athletes" possible, and that includes attitude and mentality my friend.
