Alireza Beiranvand Asia’s Best Goalkeeper: Gabriel Calderon


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Persepolis Argentine coach Gabriel Calderon says the Iranian team’s goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand is the best in Asia.

Beiranvand was among the final nominees for the 2019 AFC Player of the Year.

Akram Afif from Qatar won the award over the Iranian keeper.

“It’s a great honor for us to see Beiranvand among the nominees. I believe that he is the best goalkeeper in Asia,” Calderon said.

“In my opinion, Persepolis’s fans should be proud of him for being in the list,” the Persepolis coach added.
