It looked good and I liked the tackle. I used to wrestle before, but the whole wrestling thing looked different. I liked that you can fight, tackle, there aren’t many rules about it. I started playing.”

My father was a professional football player in the Iran League, so he understood the game and was a big support to me when it came to sports.

I enjoy Naveen’s raiding and I think Sagar (right corner of Tamil Thalaivaa) is young and very good. Fazal is also excellent and I used to like Ajay Thakur a lot when he played. When I was a very young child, I watched Ajay Thakur play when he played for India in the 2016 World Cup. I was watching the matches on the phone in the Kabaddi club and he was a great player in his time. He made great jumps, he single-handedly beat Iran in that World Cup, so he is one of my favourites.”

- While talking about the difference between Iranian and Indian players in an interview, he said,
In Iran, we do not have specific attackers and defenders. If I am a raider I should tackle and if I tackle I should be able to raid. That’s why Iranian players are good all-rounders. But I don’t like to raid, I think I could easily get injured if I raid! Mainly the tactics and speed of Indian bombers are better than Iranian bombers. But Iran’s defenders are very strong. Indian defenders make very advanced tackles, they have less control, so this is the big difference.
