Nijmegen needs more time, Alireza Jahanbakhsh says

Tehran Times – NIJMEGEN, Nijmegen’s Iranian winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh said that his struggling team needs more time to move out of the Eredivisie relegation zone.

N.E.C. defeated AZ Alkmaar 3-2 thanks to a brace from the 20-year-old Iranian at the Goffertstadion but the team remains rooted to the bottom of the table.

Jahanbakhsh assisted Marnick Vermijl in the 17th minute and scored twice in the 53rd and 72nd minutes.

“It was a very good game. I’m happy for the club since we won the match but we need more time to move out of the relegation,” Jahanbakhsh told FOX Sports.

“I am glad since I was named as the Man of the Match. The support of the fans was also very important for me. It was my first full match in the league,” he added.

“We have to climb up the table. I am sure we will be OK in the coming matches,” the Iranian international added.
