Persopress-It has been reported that Bolton Wanderers have given Ando a 20 page booklet, telling him all the things he needs to do to prepare for the season. One of these things is that he needs to report back to England to take a test on his form. Ghalenoei and other team coaches are against this as they thing that Andranik has the right to stay and resume training with the national team, but it seems like Ando has said that he will go and come back the next day as the test won't take long.
Persopress-According to several Iranian sources like ISNA, Kaebi has been reported to be 90% to an EPL team. Its been stated that in the next week or two he will anounce which team he will go to for the next season. We see this as a great move for Kaebi since he can show his speed and power in the EPL. Though small Kaebi has shown a lot to us in the past years especcially in the World Cup where he outrun one of EPL's best Cristiano Ronaldo and even physicaly outran Luis Figo pushing them to the other side of the field. Hopefully he will get a good contract and it will benefit him and the like of Team Melli and so on. We put this in the rumors page since there have been several other instances where Kaebi was going to EPL but instead turned out going to Foolad or Persepolis.We wish the best for Kaebi and hope to see his EPL team on out front page in the next weeks.
Persopress-It has been reported that Rezaei has told officials that he would like to hang up his boots after the Asian Cup. He has said that he is in a very good form right now, and he will even get better after the training left until the games. Ghalenoei has also said that his hopes have gone up after seeing how well Rahman is playing. Rezaei said he will try his hardest in the Asian Cup as he wants to walk out as a winner, with the trophy in Iran's hands.
Persopress-It has been said by several news sources that Arash Borhani, former TM player and Pas player Will join Vitoria de Setubal of Portugal. This Rumor is more like a true rumor but nothing is 100% until hes joined the team and its on our front page! Borhani is a 24 year old soccer player with an amazing ball handling, strong shots and speed but he still has a lot to work on in finishing his hard shots. Vitoria is ranked 14th in the Portugal league and needed a new touch to their team so it has been said they decided to join Borhani to their team. This would be very good for him since Portugal is a very technical league and has been known to drastically improve players. Even though Portugal's league is underrated we know that Borhani can shine in this wonderful European country.
Persopress-It has been reported that Ali Karimi may sign with Galatasaray. As we stated Karimi stated that he wants to stay in Europe in a recent interview so there is a high chance this is true. This would be very good for Karimi since Galatasaray is Turkeies top teams and is a major european side. It is alot better than going to a Arab team by far. We hope this goes through and we hope success for the Maradona of Iran.
Persopress-Iran-varzeshi, which is an Iranian site interviewed Karimi after the 1st day of training. The most surprising thing in this interview was that when the reporter asked him that if there was no way he was going to back to Europe and was definitely going to sign with an Arab team, he denied this and told the reporter that he would rather stay in Europe if he gets a good deal. This probably caught many to surprise as everyone was convinced that Karimi was just going to back to Dubai or Qatar, and live an easy life.
Persopress-Even though this is in the rumor page, it has been announced by IFF that Iran will play Jamaica on June 27th. They also stated that Iran would either play Ghana or Turkey on July 2nd. I put this news here though because you never now if these friendlies will take place. IFF anounces alot of things.... Anyways I hope its true.
Persopress- It has been reported by IRIB TV station that a French Coach will take over Qalenoi, because Qalenoi has failed to follow his plans. I am hoping that the French Coach they are talking about is Phillip Troussier because he is a great coach and he was one of the candidates to take over the job after Branko was fired. Even though some people think its not a good idea to replace Qalenoi since there is only one month left until the Asian Cup, in my opinion we can do it because i dont believe we can win the Asian Cup with Qalenoi. I think we have a great team but our coach has shown that he is not someone who can help us beat team like Japan and Australia. I think if they hire Troussier in these couple days, he can do it because training is supposed to start on tuesday, which will give him a month to work with the team. I think that is enough time for him because he is a much better coach than Qalenoi.
Persopress-It has been reported by an iranian newspaper that Alireza Vahedi Nikbakht is going to join Villareal, one of the good teams in La Liga. He was supposedly set to join this team 2 years ago, but there were some conflicts and the deal didnt go through. Lets hope this is true and he joins this team as we need more iranians in La Liga, because it fits our players the most as we have seen with Nekounam.
Persopress-According to Khabars.net Iran is to play Jamaica on the 27'th of June. It has reported that the Uruguay game is confirmed and that Iran is trying to find an African team for another Friendly. The outcome of these rumors could determine our fate in the Asian Cup. If we get more friendies that will bring our spirits and abillities higher and ready for AC then the outcome of AC for Iran will be a lot better. Reminding fans though that major injuries in these friendlies could severley disturb our chances of Championship in AC.
Persopress-Saipas Coach and Player Ali Daie has said to have been trying to get a game to finish of his career with a top European team. If this is true this could be huge for IPL and Iranian Football. It would also end of Ali Daie's Carreer really well unless they lost 5-o or something. Well lets all pray it turns out true.
