Hossein Einanlou, the goalkeeper coach of Persepolis, after the 3-1 defeat of our national football team against Uzbekistan, expressed his views on the status of the national team's goalkeeper and the need for a suitable replacement for Alireza Beiranvand. Einanlou insists that at this point in time, Seyed Payam Niazmand can be introduced as a suitable option to take the goal for the national team.
The Necessity of Changing the National Team's Goalkeeper
Einanlou said: "If I were the national team's goalkeeper coach, I would advise Amir Ghalenooi to use Seyed Payam Niazmand in the match against Russia." Referring to Beiranvand's injury in the 2022 World Cup and its impact on the national team's performance, he added: "At that time, the unpreparedness of the substitute goalkeeper caused the national team to face serious problems." According to this coach, more attention should be given to substitute goalkeepers so that they are ready in critical situations.

Criticism of Beiranvand's Performance
This goalkeeper coach continued to criticize Alireza Beiranvand, saying: "Beiranvand has made mistakes in some matches that need to be addressed. He could have performed better on the second goal in the match against Uzbekistan, and if that goal hadn't been scored, the third goal might not have happened either." Hossein Einanlou also referred to Seyed Payam Niazmand's performance, stating that he has shown consistent displays in goal for Persepolis in recent weeks and has had no shortcomings in this regard.
Einanlou pointed out an important issue: "Now is the right time to find a good replacement for Beiranvand. If one day we do not have this goalkeeper in the national team lineup, we should not fall into a crisis. Seyed Payam Niazmand is the best option in this situation; he has performed well not only in crucial saves but also in playmaking in recent matches."
Finally, Hossein Einanlou emphasized that paying attention to these details is not only beneficial for the national team but can also help Alireza Beiranvand realize that in case of mistakes, he should give way to the substitute goalkeeper. He noted: "This will help the national team to have another goalkeeper available and remind Alireza that he must always be in his best form."
