Familiar Stranger Against Persepolis' Defensive Record!

Mehdi Abdi Will Face Persepolis Tomorrow in the Postponed Week 7 Match of the Persian Gulf Pro League, Wearing His New Club's Jersey

According to "Varzesh Se", Abdi is one of the attackers whose name is linked with important goals in Persepolis. He, who reached the senior team from the academy of this club, was able to attract attention very soon and by scoring goals in critical games, he gained a special place among the fans. His goal in the derby of the capital, as well as scoring in the semi-final and final of the Asian Champions League in 2020, were among the most important moments of the striker's presence in the red team, although Persepolis lost in the final against Ulsan Hyundai and failed to reach the cup.

During his time in Persepolis, Abdi worked under coaches such as Branko Ivankovic, Gabriel Calderon and Yahya Golmohammadi and was one of the team's attacking options at different times. Of course, during the Bronco period, he did not play an official game and made his first appearance in the Calderon team. However, his situation changed later and in the summer of 1402, during the head coaching period of Yahya Golmohammadi, he went to Traktor on loan to get more opportunities to play. He had an acceptable performance in Tabriz and after the end of the loan period, he returned to Persepolis, but this return was not very long.

With the presence of Juan Carlos Garrido on the bench of Persepolis in the summer of 1403, Abdi did not have a fixed place in this coach's plans and finally left the team. After receiving the consent, he finalized his contract with Tractor until the end of his time in Persepolis. Later, Abdi went to Bandar Anzali sailors to complete his military service, but he could not reach the conditions in this team to be recognized as one of the prominent strikers in the league.

After the end of his time in Melwan, Abdi joined Khyber Khorramabad this summer to try his luck in the Premier League once again. He is looking to return to his good days in the Faraz Kamalvand team. However, in order to stabilize his position in the Khyber team, he must use the opportunities available to him. Being in Khyber can be a new beginning for this attacker. Especially in a season where he is looking to revive his career.

Now the meeting with Persepolis, the team in which Abdi gained an important part of his football reputation, can be a different match for him. If the Khyber striker is on the field, he has the opportunity to show his abilities against his former team. The team that once won big games with his goals, and now on the other side, must be careful of a striker who has a good knowledge of the atmosphere of this club.
