Veterans can keep young people away from the fringes of football.
The video assistant referee in Iranian football sometimes caused long stoppages instead of reducing margins. The lack of cameras and facilities in the stadiums also made it difficult for the judges and sometimes it is not possible to correctly identify the scenes.
Youth play should be based on their talent and performance in training, not just youth. The young player must be motivated and prove himself to the coach.
The presence of veterans like Hamid Alidosti with the teams is very important. With their experience and knowledge of football, they can keep the youngsters away from injuries and marginalization and motivate them.
The young list of the team is a positive thing, but more important than being invited is the performance of the players in training and proving their worth to stay in the team.
Yahya is one of the best choices to lead the Omid team. The Football Association and the National Olympic Committee should coordinate with each other to plan so that the Omid team is strengthened and the senior teams are not affected. I hope that after a few decades, Iranian football will climb to the Olympics again.
