http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashkan-Dejagah-c6806 still open to play for Iran – International news 
The Iran national coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Queiroz, has revealed that the VfL Wolfsburg striker, Ashkan Dejagah, could still play for his country and the decision is now in the youngster’s hands. He was talking after his recent appointment as the Team Melli manager,
succeeding the 47-year-old Afshin Ghotbi.
When quizzed upon the current Iran line-up, Queiroz was confident about his team and reckoned that there is enough talent in the ranks. He ensured that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iran-c2923 would develop into one of the top footballing teams and demanded a bit of patience from both the
fans and the officials.
Talking about the Wolfsburg striker, the manager enthused that the 24-year-old is still open for a place in the Iran’s national squad but would have to prove his mettle. He also wished that the youngster could come and represent his national side irrelevant
of the fact that he has already represented the German side at different youth levels.
Dejagah started his career with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hertha-BSC-c39521 II in 2004 and made his way into the senior team during the same year. The striker, then, made his transfer to Wolfsburg in 2007 and has made 106 league appearances since then. He has 15 goals from those games which
is certainly not a good indicator of the striker’s abilities.
Queiroz further mentioned, “We sent one of our staff to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 to see Wolfsburg match. Every Iranian player who plays outside Iran has the right to join his country’s team. It depends on him. Dejagah could join us if he proves himself.”
Former Iran manager, Ghotbi, also raised some concerns over the youngster’s form during his stint and advised him to improve on his game. He also wanted the striker to be a part of the Iran squad but Dejagah could not impress the national selectors despite
agreeing to play for the Team melli.
Dejagah has represented Germany at different youth levels and showed glimpses of his abilities. He started playing with the German U17 side and was also a part of U21 side for four years (2005-09)
