Who will replace Ramin Rezaian?

Ramin Rezaiyan's injury has forced Hamid Motahari to change the Foulad defense line, and now Mohammad Ali Kazemi hopes to get the opportunity to be in the main team in the match against Nasaji.

The injury of Ramin Rezaian in the preparatory match of the Iranian national team against Russia has faced Hamid Motahari with a serious challenge in the steel defense line. In a situation where it is said that the 36-year-old defender of Foulad will be away from the field for about 40 days, Mohammad Ali Kazemi has the opportunity to be in the main lineup of his team in the match against Nasaji.

Rezaian was injured in the last minutes of the friendly match between Iran and Russia in September and according to the published news, he will probably return to the steel squad in the second half of November. His absence in recent weeks has made Motahari make changes in his team to fill the void of this experienced defender.

In the last two weeks, the head coach of Foulad has used Sasan Ansari, the experienced captain of the team, in the position of right defender. Ansari has also managed to have an acceptable performance; However, Mohammad Ali Kazemi is considered a pure option for this post.

Kazemi entered the field instead of Ansari in the match against Melvan and in the second half, when Foulad was on the verge of defeat. The Steelers managed to score twice in the final minutes and win. A result that can increase Kazemi's chances to be in the main team.

On the other hand, the intensity of the matches and the difficulty of being in the lineup continuously for 90 minutes may encourage Motahari to use Kazemi in the match against Nasaji. A few days after this match, Foulad will have to face Persepolis and it is possible that the head coach of this team will once again trust Ansari in the right back position for the upcoming important match.

With these conditions, the match against Nasaji can be an opportunity for Kazemi to show his abilities and in Rezaian's absence, get a better chance to be in the main team of Fould.
