The absence of Razzaqinya highlighted the role of eye/captain's forced return to the heart of Esteghlal

After the injury of Amirmohammed Razzakinia, Roozbe Cheshmi should take more responsibility in the middle line of Esteghlal.

According to "Varzesh Se", the injury of Amirmohammed Razzakinia in the match against Al-Gharafa has changed one of Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh's main plans for the ninth week match. The young midfielder of Esteghlal has lost the game with Golgohar, and the technical staff has to choose their composition without one of the stable pieces in the middle of the field.

In Doha, Roozbe Cheshmi formed Esteghlal's middle pair together with Razzakinia and played an important role in maintaining team cohesion by running, covering the defense line and leading the players. Razakinia's departure made the captain of the Blues take on a heavier responsibility and cover a large part of the space in front of the three central defenders.

Now, Cheshmi's presence in the heart of the midfield against Golgohar is more than the result of the decision of the technical staff of the Blues and Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh, it has become a necessity for Esteghlal. Mehdi Rahmati's team has players who pass through the middle of the field with speed and direct passes, and the visual experience can be effective in stopping the opponent's quick transitions.

The main ambiguity is the choice of a player who is going to play in place of Razakinia and next to Chesami. Ismail Qolizadeh is still under the supervision of the medical staff, and if he does not make it to the match, Bakhtiarizadeh must choose one of the young players or a change in the team's composition. Esteghlal has one permanent absentee and two players under surveillance, and the final decision will be made after the remaining training sessions.
