Perhaps no player in Iranian football has made news as much as Amirhossein Mahmoudi in the past 24 hours. The young winger of Persepolis, who was sent to individual training after his controversial interview, faced a strange incident on Thursday morning, and the Persepolis club, by publishing an official advertisement in the information newspaper, invited the clubs interested in recruiting him to submit their offers. Now, in the space of less than a day, something new has happened that could be the early end of this scandalous affair.
Today, Amirhossein Mahmoudi played in the friendly match of Persepolis against the youth of Iran to make it clear that Mehdi Tartar decided to return this player to his students earlier than expected. This happened after Mahmoudi’s three individual training sessions and it shows that the head coach of Sarkhpoushan has no intention of keeping one of his team’s young players away from training and matches.
In today’s match against the national youth team, Mahmoudi played for about 40 minutes and had a very good performance. In addition to his effective presence in Persepolis attacks, he managed to get a penalty kick for his team, which Mehdi Tikdari converted into a goal in the 70th minute. The penalty that finally scored the winning goal for the Reds against Qasim Haddadifar’s students and showed Mahmoudi’s direct role in his team’s comeback from a one-goal defeat.
