He has only scored one goal so far, but it was beautiful and very important. The goal that opened the comeback against Lecce, with time practically up. A header, a very strong impact, a ball thrown with force into the net. Yet this is not the best goal scored by Sardar Azmouna footballer who arrived quietly, or rather among the boos.
It was summer, the fans still didn’t know that a certain guy was coming Lukaku. We were talking about ScamOf Morataat the end of Zapata, and then he came. A different footballer, especially in two aspects: his heart and his head.

The choice to finance an Iranian cyclist
The news came from a few days ago: Azmoun has in fact decided to financially support the participation of Parisa Majnouni, Iranian cyclist, at the next long distance world championship scheduled for 2024 in Denmark. “The price for participating in these competitions is very high – explained the athlete – Without Azmoun’s help I wouldn’t have succeeded. I thank Azmoun for the support, without him I would not have been able to participate”. A commitment, that of the Roma striker, which has always been aimed at sport and the women of his country, as when on the occasion of the murder of Mahsa Aminia 22-year-old killed for not wearing the hijab correctly, had taken a public stand against the Iranian regime.

Azmoun, between past and future
A stance that had cost him exclusion from the national team, then back again. “The rules imposed here in the national team prevent us from speaking while we are here in retreat, but I can no longer remain silent – he wrote on social media – Is the punishment expulsion from the national team? Well, kick me out. If it helps to save even a single strand of Iranian women’s hair, it will have been worth it. What is happening will never be erased from your consciences, I am not afraid of being kicked out. Shame on you who killed our people so easily, and long live Iranian women”.
But if this is Azmoun’s past, what is the future about? Perhaps a starting shirt this evening, in the match between Roma e Udinese. Maybe of a interest of Thiago Motta’s Bologna, who could take advantage of Mourinho’s poor use to bring the former Bayer Leverkusen player to the yellow and blue. What is certain is that wherever Azmoun goes he will bring the characteristics of a different player compared to the current panorama. A player who knows what he wants, who defends the ideas he believes in. A player who uses his heart and head, not just to score.
