Ali Daei is really a great man, throught his career he made great plays, scores, and such, but hes also known for his charitable recognition throughout the world; Ali used a great deal of his money in support of the less fortunate. In his native Iran, Daei has been seen as a role model for a sport with a terrible reputation, when many prominent footballers are accused of criminal offences or are involved with prostitutes, Daei has always brought about a good image of himself. Today Daei owns his own football jersey manufacturing company, making jerseys for Iranian Premiership clubs, 2nd Division clubs world-wide and for the national team. He has made very significant charitable donations and has made appearances in charitable football matches world-wide (featuring in the World vs. Bosnia match with Roberto Baggio and other football legends). He also appeared in a UNICEF commercial with superstar David Beckham and Madeleine Albright, and has regularly been seen working with the organisation. He is also very famous for being a "gentleman", the name which was given to him even in Germany where he used to play, because of his moderate behaviour.
Ali Daei joined the exclusive circle of players with a century of caps. In a November 28, 2003 Asian Cup qualifier in Tehran against Lebanon, he scored his 85th international goal, elevating him past Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás to top the all-time list of scorers in international matches (among men; he trails women's leader Mia Hamm by almost 50 goals). On November 17, 2004, he scored four goals against Laos in a World Cup qualifier, giving him 102 goals and making him the first male player to score 100 goals in international play. As of June 2006, he has 149 caps for Iran, ranked among the top 10 of world's most capped players.
He's mostly critisized about his early Retirement thoughts, critics have questioned Daei's place in the national team by referring to World Cup's fast pace games and the shortcomings in appearance of older players in the national teams.
So, Did that help?

He is a very good soccer player he is trained and plays really professionally, we both come from the same country and oh boy if you saw him play when he was somewhat younger you owuld have been shocked at how good he is! I believe he celebrated his 100th goal a couple months ago so he has the agility, stability, balance, coordanation, techniques, and skills. I hope him the best nice question im giving u a good rating!

He's a great player. Maybe he should've quit by now, but still he holds the world record for the most international goals ever.
