Rezaeian has at some times been good, through sheer work rate alone, but I genuinely think Ghafouri produced more key chances on the pitch. Queiroz preferred Rezaeian mainly due to his defensive attributes.
It's like Milad who is fantastic defensively and sometimes ok offensively just through his work-rate, although in this case Queiroz didn't prefer him for key games eg WC
I still don't know about Moharammi because he is younger and has much more european experience so at some point he needs to be the starting right back. Whether now or after we fail to qualify is a moot point.
I just can't see us qualifying.
