The change in Pasargad is obvious as they are now known as “PSG”. One can make all the Paris St. Germain and Presidential Security Group jokes about the acronym but no one is laughing because of the prowess of this club. They came on strong in the league during the second round and their run to the finals of the PFF Smart National Club Championship is testament to their ability.

PSG is moving to a more homegrown and Filipino club but until that happens, given the loss of Shayan Jafari Dastjerdi, Masood Shahdideh, and Ken Dolloso, this club’s success will be dependent on the play of brilliant midfielder Hamed Hajimehdi and defenders Reza Amirkhizan and Jaham Taher. If these three can keep their heads in the ballgame (as does goal keeper Reza Ataei), they’ll be a top team. The same goes for Charles Ujam who plays well when the spirit moves him. He’s like the Mark Hartmann of PSG – tall, rangy, tracks back well, and can pass. But the key as always is consistency and spirit.

Emmanuel MBata is a good addition up front to replace Shayan but the loss of Masood will hurt too. MBata and Promise Jolomi are not – at least just yet – the scoring machines expected.

Emotion is never a problem for head coach Esmail Sedigh’s players. It’s just reining in their emotions and playing with focus that is key.
