Ali Daei

PLDC - Tehran, While we used to hear the name of Ali Daei for the number of goals that he scored, this time his name is among the superior players of the world, but not for the amount of goals that he has scored.


Real Madrid's official website has included the names of the most successful players in football history with no relation to the number of the goals they scored for their national teams.

The publication is a list of players who have the highest winning percentage of games played for their country. This list includes Iker Casillas, who is ranked first. Lilian Thuram is ranked second and Ali Daei with 89 victories in 149 national matches is ranked third.

Interestingly, players like Roberto Carlos and Cafu are ranked lower than Ali Daei.

Mr. Record Holder of Iranian football is still breaking records, years after his retirement.
