Emirhossein Sadeghi, a famous former player who is now a coach, recently expressed his views on the various problems facing the youth team at his club, Esteghlal. In his statement, Sadeghi highlighted the lack of facilities and limitations in recruiting players which are a big challenge for the development of football at the ground level.
"I really love basic football and training with the kids at the Esteghlal academy. Today we had a derby match and we managed to watch it," said Sadeghi when explaining his love for youth football.
Sadeghi noted that the facilities currently available to Esteghlal's youth teams are inadequate and not commensurate with the team's needs. "This year, our youth team does not have sufficient tools and facilities, especially after several players left the club. However, until the fourth week, all youth team categories showed quite good performance," he said.
He hopes that the problems faced by the youth team can be resolved soon. When asked about the performance of the Iran U-23 national team in Asian competitions, Sadeghi chose not to comment. "There is one problem; many people are talking about the team without understanding the real situation. I believe in the U-23 team coach, Hossein Abdi, and I am sure he can bring positive changes," he added.
Sadeghi also criticized the lack of youth team coaches involved in managing the U-23 team. "I cannot comment on this, because in the federation there is a determined structure. I myself am currently the coach of the Tehran U-23 team and I choose my own staff," he explained.
On the other hand, he expressed his concern about the condition of Esteghlal's senior team, which had difficulty recruiting new players and had to rely on last season's players. "However, there is good news, namely the reduction in the foreign player quota, which can provide more opportunities for our young players," he said.
Sadeghi explained that this year, the youth team will have to continue with the same players without giving a chance to the new generation. "I estimate that around 500 players lost the opportunity to play. This is a serious problem," he stressed.
Regarding the revival in the national team and the performance of coach Amir Gholami, Sadeghi admitted that he could not give an opinion. "I am not in a position to criticize Gholami or the U-23 team. I want more experience before talking about this," he concluded.
Sadeghi also spoke about the quality of the league and the new generation of Iranian players. "We have a very talented generation, but the results of their hard work are not visible. Even though a young team can become champions, what happens next for them? I wonder what is being done to promote them to a higher level," he said with disappointment.
He added that in player development, we need a better system and listeners who are ready to listen to suggestions and criticism. "When there are plans made but not implemented, who cares about them?" he closed.
