According to Khabaronline, Nader Mohammad, Iran's 29-year-old midfielder, has become the most viral footballer in the world with his unusual overhand throw in Russia. After his throw was normalized in Iran, he joined the second tier of Russian football at the beginning of this season, but his incredible throw and goal in his first game for Spartak Kostroma made him the subject of major football media worldwide. From Whoscored to 433 and millions of views on social media. Mohammad spoke about this incident in an interview, telling the story of the birth of this skill and his bigger dreams. - From the corner kick in the first game in Russia, tell me; when you saw the video of your throw in the most important sports websites in the world and big pages like 433 and Whoscored published it, what was your first reaction? Before going to Russia, I was definitely thinking of playing here to progress and be seen more, but the reality is that I didn't think it would have such a wide impact. Almost everywhere in the world, this video was published, and naturally, I was very happy about this incident. Of course, this is my first step, and I want to reach higher places. - After this incident, how many more followers did you add? A few thousand more, but more importantly, millions of views that this movement had around the world. - Football fans in Iran have been familiar with his overhand throws for years, but in Russia, it seemed like they were facing something new for the first time. Exactly the same thing happened. The Russians saw this type of throw for the first time, and on the other hand, fortunately, this movement led to a goal. I think the reporter's reaction during the game had a big impact. The type of reaction and the words he said made the excitement of this incident even more. - The Russian reporter said after the throw: 'Have you ever seen a goal like this?' When you saw this reaction, what feeling did you have? I had a very good feeling. It was natural for them to be surprised by seeing such a thing. For them, it was a new event, but I've been doing this for years. - Did you think your first game in Russian football would become a global event with a throw? I was waiting for this moment, but not with this extent and speed. I'm happy that this happened, but my goal is not just this. From now on, I'll try to be seen with my gameplay, defense, and football abilities. - When did you first realize the power of your throw was different from others? When I was playing in the youth team. This movement came to my mind accidentally, and after that, I saw that if I hold the ball tightly in my hand, I can throw it further. - This movement, the backflip before the throw, was it your idea? No, this movement is completely from gymnastics, and it's a specialized movement in gymnastics. Maybe many people can flip, but the quality of the movement, timing, and coordination are more important, and only a gymnast can understand exactly what I mean. - How much did your experience in gymnastics help in creating this technique? Very much. If someone wants to do this, they should start gymnastics from a young age. In adulthood, it's hard, and it becomes more of a showy movement like parkour, not a real movement. - What was the reaction of your teammates when you threw a very long throw in practice for the first time? They were surprised, but they provided me with good conditions to be my best. - Do you have a dedicated practice for this throw? No, I don't have a dedicated practice. Whenever my coach asks me, I throw. - How long was the longest throw you've thrown? I didn't measure it exactly, but one time, when I was playing for Paykan, in a game against Zob Ahan, I threw from our own field and near the bench, and the ball hit the goalpost! - Some people say Nader Mohammad has become famous only because of his throws. Don't you feel uncomfortable about this? No. I've always said that I should be a talented footballer to be able to join the team and play.
