Karim Ansarifard is an Iranian footballer who plays as a striker for Greek club Olympiacos and the Iranian
national team. His playing style and ability have
drawn comparisons to Ali
Daei (the coach who scouted him) and he has been named Daei's
"successor".
On 13 January 2012, FIFA.com
selected him as one of the players to watch in 2012. Goal.com also chose him as one of the
hottest 100 young football players in the world. Also in 2012, FIFA ranked him as the
48th best goal scorer in the world and second best in Asia.
On 13 January 2017,
Ansarifard signed a 3,5-year contract with Greek giants Olympiacos for a transfer fee of €400,000, while Panionios kept a 10% percentage of the player's next sale. He was assigned the
number 17. On 24 January 2017, he made his first appearance for the club in a Greek Cup 1–1 away draw against Aris
Thessaloniki, scoring his first goal to equalise
the game.
He has been compared to Iranian legend Ali
Daei and young German forward Thomas Muller by his fans. His favorite player
is Fernando Torres. He is a center forward with great
energy and impressive in both air and ground. He played as a right winger in
first season for Saipa but in next seasons
returned to his main position.

O Καρίμ
Ανσαριφάρντ είναι Ιρανός επαγγελματίας ποδοσφαιριστής
που αγωνίζεται ως επιθετικός στην Εθνική Ιράν και στον Ολυμπιακό
Πειραιώς, από τον χειμώνα του 2017. Ο τρόπος
παιξίματος και οι ικανότητες του έχουν οδηγήσει μερικούς να τον παραλληλίσουν
με τον Αλί Νταΐ, δίνοντας του και το παρατσούκλι του Αντικαταστάτη του Νταΐ.
