1- farsi zaban jan,
I said those 2 weeks, coz , as I explained, this was the period that he played UNLIKE his usual game.
and before and after these 2 weeks, he has played his rather selfish, individualistic, ..... football.
2- yes, watching dribbling and "la'ee"s and ... is very entertaining.
especially kids get a thrill out of it, and think the world of it !!
but lets not lose sight of the MAIN goal here.
the main thing is the TEAM and its performance.
if I want to get entertained watching tricks with balls, I'd go to a circus.
I'm sure the monkeys could do as well a job.
but "football" and most critical, TM is very dear to me, is much too impotant, is a different matter.
no playing around here.
this is a NATION and its flag we're talking about.
this is the PRIDE of the ppl of this nation we're playing with.
an individual shd not matter. he shd be solved into the whole, which is the TEAM.
and I'm afriad, karimi has NOT made this transition !..... well , apart from those "2 weeks" !
3- and by bringing Daei, I dont know what you're getting at.
I am not comparing anyone with daei.
I am talking about just who is more beneficial to TM.
4- farsi zaban jan.
I dont know and will not comment on where and how you have seen karimi take shots better than most players in the WORLD (??!?!?!)
I dont even bother to watch his club games, coz it is unimportant to me.
but lets just say, he just doesnt "feel" like performing this way for TM.
and if you claim that he is "capable of such, at any given moment" ... then he's now accused of selling TM short.
then he just refuses to apply himself when playing for TM .
mind you, I'm just going by your "assumptions" here..
( and once again you bring in Daei !!!
who has nothing to do with this issue.
just becoz we have an under-performing captain, shd that mean we shd have another one also?
where's the logic in that? )
----------------------------
as you see, for me the top priority is the TEAM, not the player.
even if daei plays badly, I ask for his subbing.
or mobaali or nekounam or kia, or ... .
all of whom are my favorite players.
but none of them matter when TM is playing.
I dont go by a fanboy's standards of nuber of la'ees or dribbles, or ... that merely thril and serve nothing to the team.
I'd rather see a player pass the ball ( preferably with least number of contact ) even if it seems boring and unattractive, but gets the job done.
