Biranvand's new claim; I will not go to the army for more than three months!
Alireza Biranvand tied the possible time of his return to Tractor to the end of the Asian Nations Cup.
According to ambassador Arjan; Alireza Biranvand, in his recent interview with Tractor's official media, in addition to announcing the time of his deployment to military service, also gave a clue about how long he will be away from this team. Tractor's goalkeeper, who has extended his contract for three more seasons, says that he will be a soldier from the first of November and will probably be away from the team of the Redskins until after the Asian Nations Cup.
According to Sports Se, Biranvand said in this regard: "I decided to enlist myself from the first of November." I can proudly play in the sailor and oil industry game, but this is the decision of the technical staff. I might not see you after the 10th week until after the Nations Cup. Maybe I won't see your eight games." He also emphasized: "When my service is over, I will see you and continue my football with you."
Putting these talks together and the tournament calendar shows an interesting span. According to the schedule announced by the Asian Football Confederation, the Nations Cup will be held from December 17 to February 16, 1405. The distance between the first of November and the final day is 105 days, equivalent to three months and 15 days. Therefore, if Biranvand means to return immediately after the end of these competitions, he has calculated for about three and a half months away from the tractor.
This timing indicates Biranvand's plan to return in the second half of the season. On the other hand, part of this interval will coincide with the break of club competitions. Haider Baharond, the head of the league organization, had previously announced the closure of the league for at least one month during the Asian Nations Cup. A topic that can explain why Biranvand talks about the possible absence of about eight matches, referring to the absence of several months.
However, there is still not enough information to be certain about the "three and a half month service". Biranvand used the word "maybe" when talking about the time of his return, and in this conversation, he did not explain the amount of service deficit, the exact date of discharge, and the basis of his calculation. What emerges from his words is that he expects to return to Tractor after the Nations Cup and the official term of his service still needs to be clarified.
Another possibility is that Biranvand, hoping to win the championship of the Iranian team in the Asian Nations Cup, counted on receiving the "champion soldier" exemption and ending his service after this tournament. The promise of such an exemption has a history, and the Ministry of Sports announced in February 2017 that it would obtain the exemption permit for eligible players in the event that Iran wins the Asian Nations Cup. Of course, Biranvand did not explicitly state such an intention and the realization of this scenario, in addition to Iran's championship, will depend on the approval of the exemption from the responsible authorities.
