Arash jan please help me here...
Amir jan how?...
Id be lying to say Khalili or Borhani is better then Hassan Rowshan, Alidosti, Daei or Azizi..
The day we find another clone of those players ill be the first to throw my hat up in the air, Khalili and Borhani out of the 2, Borhani has the talent to become something special, but we have to give him that chance in Team Melli, seems like Ali Daei isn't.
But, to be honest, i think Borhani-Khalili duo in Team Melli is the best we got, even though Khalili is injured i know he will return strong. Knowing they are 2 different strikers, it's not like Borhani-Rezae where both of them are pretty much identical...
In Iran, i think
AT THEIR BEST right now, these 2 definitely know how to find the back of net..Khalili's 18 goals last season were all brilliant "Striker" finishes...
If you look at the video they were true goals by a striker, rarely u could see a tap in..
What Iran is lacking, is a true goal poacher, like Ali Daei...
He was the best of the best in this area, better then any thing Asia has produced upfront, why because he had that eye for goal, back behind the goal, he still knew when to turn and just pull the trigger..Iran-Saudi back in 2001 the 2nd goal he scored, JESUS he did not even LOOK at the goal and still managed to put the ball on the bottom corner, once again goes to show they guy just KNEW, where the goal was...
We complained about his goals against Laos, those 4 goals he scored, bla bla anyone can score 4 goals against Laos, i clearly remember the comments after that game..
But in fact, neither one of our strikers right now, would be able to score 4 goals against Laos..Because neither has that instinct Daei used to have...
We have to try and see what
Borhani-Khalili can do upfront...
With Rezaei & Shojaei just behind them, i seriously think as long as we keep using a lone striker, we will fail...We are not a country who possesses a
"superstar" striker such as Zlatan, Henry, Etoo, or Anelka to put them ALL BY THEMSELVES upfront to finish of the job, we need 2 strikers..
If these ideas, players, systems do not work, i hope a miracle comes up before the World Cup where we find a talent out of nowhere, because come 2010 World Cup and we haven't found a striker who can actually finish, hell we don't even have a
HALF IRANIAN in Europe who is scoring regularly that we could bring into Team Melli...
We are screwed...:-ohno:
But what amazes me is that one of our biggest talents, is finally maturing, and having that season
EVERYONE has been waiting for so many years..
Borhani so far has netted 23 goals in all competitions and even when played for Team Melli against Singapore & Galacia scored goals.
Still gets benched and gets put on with the last 5 minutes..
I mean if we complain about strikers and bench our best striker, i think its not a problem regarding our talent pool, its a problem with our head coach...
