Trend on Social Media

In spring of 2021, in the semifinals of Iran's main cup competition, the Hazfi Cup, two competing teams (Saipa FC and Naft Tehran F.C.) had a very physical match, resulting in many red-cards being handed out to players. During the post-match interview, Iranian football legend, Ali Daei, who at the time was the manager of Naft, criticised refereeing decisions, particularly the red card given to Bouazar. The reason for this was that during the interview, a reporter had asked him about his opinion on the red card given to an alleged player called "Mohammadi", who did not exist. The player who was actually red-carded was Bouazar, and Daei was shocked about the referee not even getting the name of the players correct. His response to the interview question was a letter by letter comparison of the words Bouazar and Mohammadi, where he counted the number of letters that exist in Bouazar and not in Mohammadi. The emotional interview quickly became a meme and is frequently shared on social media.
