Reviving Persepolis's Championship Piece at Tartar's Workshop

After scoring against Sanat Naft, Oustun Oronov now has a better chance of returning to Persepolis's starting lineup.

According to "Verzeh Se", the first image of Persepolis fans of Oston Oronov is still the best image of this player in a red shirt. A star who joined Persepolis in the second half of the 22nd League and quickly became one of the main pillars of the championship with his speed, dribbles and decisive goals. A player who sometimes only needed a ball and a little space to change the fate of a match.

But Oronov's continued presence in Persepolis did not go as well as that brilliant start. The following season, a succession of injuries robbed him of the opportunity to repeat those performances, and much of his time was spent recuperating and returning to the field. Last season, although he had more opportunities to play, he could not become the same influential player that the fans saw in the first months of his presence.

The beginning of this season was not very favorable for the Uzbek star. After participating in the World Cup, Oronov was added late to Persepolis' pre-season training and was given to Tartar when he was far from the necessary preparation. This delay made it difficult for him to reach the starting line-up and the head coach of Persepolis used this player gradually and in limited opportunities.

In the meantime, Bifuma had secured his place on the left side with his good performances, and Oronov practically handed over the competition to his Congolese teammate. He was not very successful in the minutes that he came to the field to reduce his distance from the main lineup. A minor injury added to his problems to delay his return to the good days again.

The recent vacation of the league, however, presented a different opportunity to Oronov. Not being invited to the Uzbekistan camp, this time meant staying in Persepolis training and having more time to work under Tartar. An opportunity for a player who, after a late start to preparations, needed constant training to bring himself closer to match condition.

The promising sign of this period was seen in the game against the oil industry. Oronov replaced Bifuma in the 75th minute and just ten minutes later, with the cooperation of Mohammad Mehdi Mohebi, he scored the third goal of Persepolis. A goal that eased the hopes of the red-faced players in the situation of a fragile two-to-one advantage and gave the Uzbek star's short presence on the field more value than his playing minutes.

Of course, his show was not limited to the same goal. In his short time, Oronov had more mobility and impact in attacks and could even register an assist. For a player who showed less of his familiar quality in the early weeks, this effective presence could be an important step on the way back. Especially this time he was able to use the opportunity to enter the field and give the head coach a technical reason for taking more time.

After the match, Tartar also emphasized Oronov's efforts in training and explained that in the competition between the two players, "Bifuma has overtaken the ball". An explanation that shows that Oronov's return path goes through this competition and scoring a goal against Sanat Naft can improve his position for the next selections of the head coach.

Now, Bifuma's cold on the eve of meeting with Khyber has increased the possibility of Oronov's presence in the main team. Although Bifuma's medical problem is largely resolved and he is able to accompany his team, the selection of the left winger will still depend on Tartar's decision. This time, Oronov is waiting for this selection with the support of a good performance and an important goal.

If Tartar gives Oronov a field in Khorramabad from the beginning, this match can be a new stage of his return. The Uzbek star will have the opportunity to show the promising signs of the previous game in more time and try to maintain his position. The revival of a player who once made a difference on the way to the championship can be one of the important events of this Persepolis season in the Tartar workshop.
