麻豆约拍

Alireza Beiranvand is the Iranian goalkeeper who denied Ronaldo a penalty during the Iran-Portugal World Cup clash in Russia.

Before Beiranvand made it as a footballer, he slept on the floor of a pizza shop and worked in a caf茅 to make ends meet.

Pooria Jafereh from the 麻豆约拍's Persian Service says his rags to riches story and his unusually large physique are what makes him so special.
