For Mehdi Taremi and others playing abroad, showing solidarity with their home nation can mean threats and possible detentionMehdi Taremi did what he does best. On Saturday, the Iranian striker turned inside the area and scored for Olympiakos, a well-taken eighth goal of the season for the 33-year-old that clinched a 2-0 win at Atromitos and a place at the top of the Greek Super League.
