Just when you thought it couldn't get more embarrassing for the guy, he ends up crying to top off his performance of getting sent off.
I know but we have to put this in context.
1.5 years ago he was wasting his career away in Qatar stars league
Less than 3 years ago he was banned for four months because of some dodgy transfer stuff with fucking Rizespor. I
mean his career was really fizzling out, a lot of people on this site and the other one were really angry with Queiroz for starting him over Ghoochannejhad, Kaveh Rezaei, even Ansarifard for a while, I think many of us have forgotten this.
In addition, don't forget he comes from a country which is a world pariah, whose players don't sell T-shirts, who can always become a PR disaster in certain events (eg playing Israeli clubs), and aren't particularly lucrative in terms of resale value in comparison with a name like Bondetombooninho or Ze Gooz.
Now he's the only iranian to score a knockout goal in the Champions League. I mean he's gone from Qatar league to the image below...!
He's doing some crazy stuff but that's just the guy he is, I've got a feeling we are going to see more crazy ups and downs by the end of the season. He is box office entertainment. Hopefully the ratio of good stuff to bad stuff remains the way it has been for the last 18 months,
