He joined Persepolis from Air Force in the summer and helped the Reds reach the AFC Champions League semi-final.

“Iranian football is faster and more aggressive than Iraqi football and the league is more organized," Resan told the-afc.com.

"I have been at Persepolis for a couple of months and we reached the AFC Champions League semi-final,” Resan added.

“My aim now is that as the season goes on, I can adapt more to life in Tehran and help the club achieve trophies."

"Persepolis is a big team, not just in Iran, but in Asia too, so titles have to be the goal at a club like this,” the international Iraqi midfielder added.
