Hawzah News Agency- What was the most unforgettable moment of Mehdi Taremi's career that deeply impressed you? Was it his breathtaking bicycle kick goal against Chelsea in the Porto shirt in the Champions League that is believed to deserve the Puskás award? Or perhaps his standout performances in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, including his double against England? Maybe it was the top scorer award for two seasons in the Primera Liga? He has added another chapter to his football legacy by joining the Serie A champion, Inter Milan.
Few professional footballers can mentally recover when deprived of playing on the football pitch for an approximately long while at the peak of their careers; Taremi, who served a four-month ban by FIFA, seemed different. Just then, a turning point occurred in his life, and the Iranian star became a legionnaire in Qatar upon the four-month ban.
The Iranian boy's ambitions extended far beyond playing in the Qatar League, however, where he formed a formidable duo with Wesly Snider, the Dutch star, in the Al-Gharafa club. Portugal was another journey on which he embarked, the land that promised him a brighter future.
Mehdi became the star of the Portuguese sky, shining brighter and brighter and winning the top scorer award in his first year at Rio Ave. Yet, the media attention and popularity among fans did not diminish his appetite for more success. Following his transfer to Porto, few people thought that Mehdi would manage to etch his name in the annals of Porto’s history as a club legend, having a record of 92 goals, 56 assists, 7 titles of the championship, and 1 title of top scorer during his 4-season contribution to the Dragons.
Taremi’s name resounded in the Global Sports News again on Saturday morning when he officially signed the contract with Inter, which Taremi called a dream come true in his first interview with the club media. Let’s wrap up the note with a few questions just like we started: can Taremi, 32, replicate his successful days at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, conquering the fans’ hearts of Inter? Will the tough Serie A league be as straightforward for him as the Portuguese league?
