Jahanbakhsh: ”For me they are the best supporters in the Netherlands”
At Alireza Jahanbakhsh, it is not yet possible to draw a level in the shirt of Feyenoord. Every match he alternates childish ball loss with phenomenal actions. Yesterday he was in the right place to score the 1-0 for Feyenoord against Union Berlin, although an unintentional assist from Guus Til was needed for that. However, that didn’t spoil the fun.
“We are just happy to win that game. Those evening games are just good for us, after Slavia also now,” said Jahanbakhsh in front of the camera of ESPN. We knew in advance that this was going to be a difficult game for us. to get three points here.”
The atmosphere in De Kuip is good. “Evening games are just different from afternoon games, also in the Eredivisie. I also feel that if I’m honest: for me it’s just nice to play evening games.” It is therefore not entirely coincidental that the attacker scores again in this very match. “The few games I was a bit later the odds. I’m just trying to be important, but it wasn’t originally. Tonight I was done with that. I was happy to be important and start. I’m trying to make more goals and help; that’s what I came here for, you know.”
In the past few weeks, that hasn’t really come to fruition. “I haven’t played many games in the last two years, now every three days and also with the Iran national team. So I haven’t caught that much rust, but I’m happy to play games, make minutes and play two games a week. On the other hand I want to be more match fit Now it’s my third month here and I try to give my best every match for the club and these supporters are behind us every match and that really makes me feel good for this team.”
