Noorullahi’s action had many reactions in cyberspace

Ahmad Noorollahi’s return to Al-Wahdeh team with a flight that traveled in the opposite direction to the Iranian plane to Uzbekistan
In the past years, Noorullahi was a constant and a big weight in the midfield of the national team. A player who joined the team at the end of Queiroz’s tenure in the 2019 Asian Nations Cup and continued this process with two head coaches, Mark Wilmots and Dragan Skocic, to the point where Skocic used Nourollahi as the main midfielder in all the games he was the head coach of Iran. did

For Skocic, Nurollahi was even ahead of Saeed Ezzatollahi in the midfield, who has been one of the stars of the national team since Queiroz’s presence in Iran after the 2015 Asian Nations Cup.

Nourollahi kept his permanent place in the national team when Queiroz returned to Iran and played in the World Cup. However, with the changes that took place in the national team and with the presence of Amir Qalanewi, he was one of the first players whose place in the national team was challenged. In the first camp, it was rumored that Nurullahi was not on the initial list of invitees, which did not happen. However, Ahmed was not given a chance to play in the two matches against Russia and Kenya. At the same time, he accompanied the national team again in the second camp and in the CAF games, and this time he played in the final match against Uzbekistan.

After that, in the friendly match against Bulgaria, Ahmed played for about 50 minutes in this preparatory game and then gave his place to Ali Karimi. In the previous camp in Jordan, he was also summoned for two matches between Jordan and Qatar, but he only played in the first half of the Jordan game and was replaced between the two halves and did not get a chance to play in front of Qatar.

The important thing was the presence of Saman Qudous in the post at post number 8 and in two consecutive games in Qatar and Hong Kong. The test that Amir Ghalenoui wanted to perform on this player of the Premier League of Iranian football and see if Saman can play the role of the designer of Iran’s attacks or not. Saman performed this task well in the Qatar game, but he did not shine so much in the Hong Kong game. However, before the Hong Kong game, Noorullahi had packed his bags and left the national team camp, and when he returned from the Azadi Stadium, the players tried their best to bring him back to the national team, but this midfielder with the experience of the national team in He finally decided that the national team should make this story public and make a statement about the end of the cooperation period.

Apparently, Noorullahi’s annoyance came from the fact that, as usual, he sits in front of the number 21 shirt in the dressing room, but one of the players tells him that he is not in the 22-man roster today and that someone else is going to take his place with number 21. . The issue that causes Nourollahi’s next reaction and he refuses to come to the stadium.

The interesting thing is that everyone is aware of Ahmed Noor’s interest in the number eight, and in the first period when Morteza Pouraliganji was injured, he wore the national team eight in all the games, and upon his return, this uniform was given to Morteza again, but in the situation that Pouraliganji was Already injured, number eight was given to Omid Ebrahimi, and even number 21, which he trained with in this Fifadi, was not given to him to sit on the bench.

Of course, in the last practice of the national team before the Hong Kong game, Nooralhi felt signs of not being in the lineup; Where, at the time of the tactical training, he was part of the first group that was removed from the main players and trained with the goalkeepers at the southern gate, and he made his decision when he realized that he did not have a place in the lineup. Of course, the follow-up of the reporter of “Varzesh Se” from the technical staff of the national team brought this answer that he was informed about the issue before the match by a member of the technical staff, however, the player’s relatives deny this issue.

Finally, the middle line of the national team, which is one of the busiest and most trafficked positions in the national team, has found strange conditions with the return of Omid Ebrahimi and the emergence of young players such as Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad and the transfer of positions of Saman Quddos, and perhaps Ahmed also felt the necessary belief in He does not exist and has preempted in this field.

Of course, he could be patient in this field and even play again in the Uzbekistan game, but considering that Saeed Ezzatullahi is the stable midfield of the national team, he thought it would be better to leave the hand of the national team’s technical staff free and put additional pressure on Do not impose them.

Currently, Ali Karimi, Omid Ebrahimi, Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad, and even Saman Qudous are the players available to Amir Qalanewi for the visit to Uzbekistan. It remains to be seen which of these players he will use.
