Feyenoord winger Jahanbakhsh admits leaving Brighton frustrated

Tribal Football – ROTTERDAM, Alireza Jahanbakhsh admits he left Brighton with unfinished business.

The Iranian winger spent three seasons at the AMEX before joining Feyenoord in the summer.

Jahanbakhsh told Fox Sports: “Obviously I tried to settle down, the Premier League is a different league, it was a different country,” he said.

“Unfortunately at the end of the [first] season the manager changed. The new manager came in with a new mindset, new system, the way they wanted to play did not really use the wingers that much.

“Then it became a bit more difficult at the time. I am always working hard.

“At the end of the second season, I had other opportunities to try somewhere else [away from Brighton]. But they didn’t want me to leave the club because they thought I can be more important and play more games.

“At the beginning of last season it went well, I played quite a good amount of games, it went really well but then again a lot of up and downs.

“This summer I had to make a decision, I had to move on and try my chance somewhere else. I am very happy with my decision and I am enjoying my time here in Feyenoord.”
