Criticism and Media Pressure
Following this controversial red card, criticism from Belarusian sports media and veteran figures from Vitebsk intensified against Milad Mohammadi. They criticized his amateurish behavior and cited it as a reason for the team's failure in that match. This pressure led to Mohammadi only starting in 2 out of 7 league matches in Belarus, while he played as a substitute in 3 matches and watched 2 matches from the bench.
This situation has not only diminished the player's confidence but also has negative implications for his professional future.

This is despite him being recognized as a talented and experienced player with high potential. Now it remains to be seen whether he can overcome these challenges and prove himself to the national team again, or if this situation will be recorded as a weakness in his career.
Ultimately, Milad Mohammadi must face more challenges and demonstrate that he can perform well even in tough conditions. Will he be able to return to his peak days and make his name known in the national team again?
