INFO:
Nekounam is a former defensive or central midfielder. His career began in 1998 at PAS Tehran, where he played 187 matches in seven and a half seasons, scoring 49 goals. In 2005-06, he played in the United Arab Emirates for Al Wahda and Sharjah. He then had his best time at Osasuna, making 175 apperances from 2006 to 2012, scoring 26 goals. He spent one more season with the Spanish club in 2014-15, scoring 5 goals in 23 games. He played also for Esteghlal, Saipa, Kuwait SC, and Qatari team Al-Arabi, retiring in 2016. Iran's record man for appearances, he capped for the national team 149 times, scoring 38 goals.
Considered one of the best ever players in Iran and Asia, Nekounam was distinguished for his excellent passing ability, fine technical skills, accurate long range shots, and intelligence in the defensive phase. As he wasn't notably fast, his style of play consisted mainly in controlling the midfield from the back in order to cover the ground and break up the opposition's attack, acting as anchor man in front of the back-line. An overall able passer, he preferred though building up the play with a short ball distribution. Other than that, he joined the offense when he had space, taking advantage of his eye for goal from long range. Thanks to his height and a remarkable elevation, he was quite good in the air, winning most headers, some of them earning him goals during dead ball situations. He scored nearly 10 headers with Osasuna and some with Iran. A penalty specialist, he scored 20 penalties considering the Spanish club and the national team. He scored also a few times from free kick.
