Preparation for the Asian Cup
The national team coach also spoke about the impact of Beiranvand's situation on the national team and the upcoming Asian Cup. He said: "If Beiranvand goes to military service, we need to assess his new situation and, if necessary, make special arrangements for him. Because the Asian Cup is approaching. If this does not happen, he will continue to work at his club, and we will monitor his situation."
Ghaleh Noei emphasized Beiranvand's special position in the national team, stating: "Alireza Beiranvand is one of the pillars of the national team, and we must assess his situation in any circumstance. However, this does not mean ignoring the technical and mental conditions of the player. He has not had the necessary focus during this time, and this has affected our technical decisions."
Recent Controversies at Tractor and Previous Case
The national team coach also referred to the recent controversies surrounding Alireza Beiranvand at Tractor club, saying: "These issues are related to the club and I do not interfere in them. If a player has disputes with his club regarding financial claims or other matters, it is something that should be pursued within that organization."
He also emphasized regarding Beiranvand's previous case: "I swear to God that I did not make the slightest recommendation to the disciplinary committee or any of the relevant committees in that case. Any decision that needs to be made must be based on law and regulations. When a law exists, it must be applied to everyone, and there should be no distinction made among individuals due to a player's status or importance to the national team."
Ultimately, Ghaleh Noei emphasized the importance of preparing players for the national team, saying: "Beiranvand is an important player for the national team, and if necessary, we will plan to maintain his readiness, but this issue has nothing to do with the enforcement of the law."
