Is Jahanbakhsh ready for the next step?
Alireza Jahanbakhsh said at his presentation at NEC that he wanted to become the Johan Cruijff of Iran. We are now four and a half years away and Jahanbakhsh plays at AZ on the right wing. He performs very well there. Is the Iranian ready for a next step in his career?
After a reasonably first season at NEC, with five goals and four assists, Jahanbakhsh was already attracted by a lot of clubs. He stayed in Nijmegen and sparkled in the Jupiler League. With a total of twelve hits and seventeen assists, Jahanbakhsh convinced AZ of his qualities.
In Alkmaar he got a hard time out of the paint and it looked like a failure from the spinning. The Iranian had to become the successor of Steven Berghuis. But after a difficult start, including an injury to his knee, he became increasingly important to AZ as the season progressed.
He continued the line of his first Alkmaar season in his second. After five games, the winger had already scored three times and in the end Jahanbakhsh ended on ten hits. He was also important with his assists. The Iranian prepared nine hits.
In the current year, the winger can almost match his performance last season. He played seventeen matches and was able to find the net seven times. His number of assists last year has equaled Jahanbakhsh and that will probably only increase.
ALIREZA JAHANBAKHSH IN ITS THREE YEARS AT AZ
*2015/16 2016/17 2017/18
Duels 23 29 17
Minutes 1.670 2.228 1.461
Decisive in duels 7x 16x 11x
Goals 3 10 7
Assists 6 9 9
Minutes per goal 557 min. 223 min. 209 min.
Minutes per assist 278 min. 248 min. 162 min.
The figures show that the Iranian is ready for a next step. The only problem is that the three top clubs in the Netherlands already have an excellent player in their position. Ajax has David Neres, Feyenoord is very satisfied with Steven Berghuis and at PSV runs a Hirving Lozano.
What gives hope for Jahanbakhsh, is that he needs fewer minutes for an assist than Berghuis and Lozano. Neres is the king of the assist, with eleven in total. But perhaps if Lozano leaves PSV this summer, that the people from Eindhoven will knock on AZ and Jahanbakhsh.
