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 café to make ends meet. Pooria Jafereh from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Persian Service says his rags to riches story and his unusually large physique are what makes him so special.
