 There was a rumor that Mohammad Mayelikohan, Iran's head coach back in the time, didn't invite him to the national team, due to his hostility with Esteghlal's players.That's why Zarincheh was never invited to the national team, when Mayelikohan was the head coach.After Mayelikohan was sacked, Bijan Zolfagharnasab invited him to the national team.
