47 WGM #59 2018/06 wgm8.com 四 年前阿根廷对阵伊朗的比赛中，直到最后时刻， 里奥内尔•梅西的魔力才最终结束了后者晋级淘汰 赛的希望。曾经在曼联担任阿莱克斯•弗格森爵士 副手的卡洛斯•奎罗斯，利用有限的资源打造了组织严谨 的队伍。 2014年巴西世界杯，伊朗的23人大名单中只有九名球 员在海外效力，其他绝大多数都是在中东各国联赛踢球， 而不在中东踢球的球员，总体上都在欧洲主流联赛的第二 级别联赛效力。 本届世界杯，奎罗斯在进攻线上有了更多选择，队伍 整体年轻化，但却有了更多的国际比赛经验。 近年来有两名令人惊艳的年轻伊朗球星涌现出来，其 一是喀山红宝石前锋萨达尔•阿兹莫，另一个是阿尔克马 尔前锋贾汉巴卡什。两人年龄分别是23岁和24岁，却代表 了传奇球星阿里•戴伊和马达维基亚退役之后，伊朗新一 代足球的希望。阿兹莫已经为喀山红宝石在欧冠联赛中进 球，并且和欧洲老牌强队如利物浦和埃弗顿传出绯闻。 自2006年世界杯结束阿里•戴伊宣布退出国家队之 后，伊朗一直找不到好的得分手。然而，如今阿兹莫挺身 而出继承了戴伊的衣钵，自2014年5月上演国家队处子秀 以来，在31场比赛中已经打入23个进球。 贾汉巴卡什自2015 年加盟阿尔克马尔以来进步神速， 为荷兰球队出场85次，打入34个进球。本赛季，贾汉巴卡 什发挥尤其出色，迄今为止已经贡献了21个进球和12个助 攻，成为第一个在主流欧洲联赛中拿到射手榜第一的亚洲 球员。 F our years ago, it took some Lionel Messi magic in the final moments of their game against Iran to end the latter’s dreams of progressing to the knockout stage. Carlos Queiroz, who once worked as Sir Alex Ferguson’s number two at Manchester United, built a well-organized team with limited resources. Nine players of the 23 who went to Brazil in 2014 were based overseas but the majority were spread around the Middle East. Those that weren’t were generally playing in the second tiers of the big European leagues. This time around, Queiroz will have more options going forward with a younger side overall but one boasting much more international experience. Two impressive young Iranian talents have emerged in recent years in Rubin Kazan striker Sardar Azmoun and AZ Alkmaar forward Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Aged 23 and 24 respectively, they represent the new generation of Iran football following the retirement of the legendary Ali Daei and Mehdi Mahdavikia. Azmoun has already scored in the Champions League for Rubin Kazan and has been linked with European clubs such as Liverpool and Everton. After Daei’s retirement from international football at the end of the 2006 World Cup, Iran struggled to find regular goal-scorers but Azmoun has stepped forward as the heir with 23 goals in 31 games for his country since debuting in May 2014.
