'Having only established himself in the national team a couple of years ago, Alireza Beiranvand really rose to prominence at the 2018 FIFA World Cup with a string of fine displays as Iran nearly pipped Spain and Portugal to a spot in the Round of 16,' Asian media reported.
'The highlight of his tournament came against the Portuguese when he saved a penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo, and – despite there being no shortage of offers from overseas – the 26-year-old decided to stay put at Persepolis.'
Michael Falkesgaard from Philippines, Jo Hyeon-woo from Korea Republic, Mathew Ryan from Australia and Dang Van Lam from Vietnam were other top listed players.
Alireza Beiranvand is an Iranian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Persepolis in the Persian Gulf Pro League. Beiranvand represented the Iran national football team at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
