Payam Sadeghian played 62 in a cup match and had a beautiful assist for Osmanlispor. Every time i see this kid, it piss me off how he ruined his career, no one since Karimi had his vision. Still quite young(25).

4 assists in 5 games ... Payam looks outstanding, this is another great assist (all of his assists have been incredible to see) from today's Cup game.

Hope he shows the same level of consistency in league matches, he is not getting much minutes in league matches though. if he keeps it up, we may see him for 2019 Asian Cup. I think it is too late for WC for him.

A few years ago I posted a link when Sadeghian sent a pass like this for perspolis and khalatbari scored a goal. Here he plays in the left side and may replace Amiri
in world cup. But he can also play in the right. His vision and passing technique is world class. Something neither Branko nor CQ observed.

It's good that he practices composure even in these situations. It may come handy in the WC!
I was surprised they let him to take P.K. Knowing AZ best goal scorer Wout Weghorst has 8 goals and is two goals short of best goal scorer in the league. This simply shows the respect that teammates have for JB.

I watched a few of AZ games this season. With Weghorst and Friday ... they are horrible... most other forwards would finish at least half the chances JB creates for them.

But yes, they all respect and love JB. Very likable and professional player.

Jahanbakhsh scored a beautiful chip over the goalkeeper in the 90th minute to win the game in the KNVB cup.

May he keep this form up and play this beautifully for TM in the summer.

AZ beat Heerenveen, 3-1, JB played 90 minutes, he had a hockey assist, AZ made a come back and scored 3 in last 15 minutes after the red card for Heerenveen, the foul was committed on JB.

Gucci in other hand played only 5 minutes, have a feeling with depth in our forward position, he will be the extra forward. Not a good year for him at all, after finishing as 3rd best scorer of Dutch league last year.

Kaveh scores his 10th of the season from P.K spot in a 4-0 away win, he also caused the red card for Zulte-Waregem, he is the best scorer of Belgian League now.


So Karim top scorer of Greece League and Kaveh Belgian, with JB being the second passer of Dutch League.
