The assistant coach of Iran national team, Antonio Manicone, had these words to say about Mehdi Taremi when by SportMediaset about the transfer to AC Milan. Here are his words:
What kind of player is Mehdi Taremi?
"He is a complete attacker both in terms of physicality and technique: he is strong, has speed, and possesses quality. Tactically, he's a player who likes to come inside the field to build the game, open up spaces for the wingers, but also take on goal with the ball at his feet or with runs."
The Italian manager continued to talk about Taremi:
"He can play both as part of a two-striker formation and as a lone striker. In the Iranian team, he plays alongside Azmoun, who excels more as a target man within the 16-metre area."
