Ali Dai: Taremi is the number one centre in Asia and he can score at least 15 goals in a season【hongyan】

    In an interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Iran legend Ali Dai spoke about Taremy's transfer to Inter Milan this summer, saying he believes his compatriot is currently the best centre forward in Asia.

    "Taremi is a real bomber, he can score at least 15 goals a season and he is the best centre-forward in Asia." Said Ali Dai, who has scored 108 goals in 148 appearances for Iran.

    Did Inter succeed in this signing?

    "There's no doubt about that. Signing Taremi on a free transfer is an incredible deal considering what he has done for Porto over the past four years, scoring more than 90 goals, scoring key goals in the Champions League and winning multiple trophies."

    Is Taremy better suited to partner Lautaro or Thuram?

    "I think it all fits, Taremi can adapt to all situations, whether as a first striker or a second striker, whether playing with a No10 or a pure No9. He and Lautaro, at least on paper, are a pair that can score more than 40 goals together."

    What is the difference between Taremi and the other players?

    "Football IQ. Taremi runs a lot and is able to break the defence by surprise. He is also very physical and doesn't lose the ball easily in a confrontation, but he also has great technical ability, which may surprise people."

    Is Simeone Inzaghi the right manager for Taremi?

    "Based on what I've seen, I think so. Inzaghi should already know everything about him, so I don't think Inzaghi needs my advice. Suffice it to say that in the current situation, Inzaghi is the manager who can make the most of Taremy's potential, and Inter's tactical system also works in Taremy's favour, he is better when playing with another striker, he can work with his team-mates, give assists and use the wings. He always finds the right position when his team-mates cross."
