Kiama Independent – SYDNEY, New Sydney FC signing Reza Ghoochannejhad says his versatility and ability to deliver goals can help them win a record-equalling fourth A-League title.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch-born forward arrived in Sydney earlier this week on a loan from Cypriot side APOEL in a boost to manager Steve Corica’s attacking options ahead of the run-in to the finals and start of the Sky Blues’ Asian Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 31-year-old, who scored 16 goals in 44 games for Iran before retiring from international football in 2018, is in line to face Melbourne City on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 11 games left in the regular A-League season, Sydney are third on the ladder – five points behind leaders Perth Glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I cant wait to start, I’m here to win the A-League and we’re trying to do the best we can and get the best results in Asian Champions League,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Both are important to us and I’m glad I can be a part of it and hope to help the team as much as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m going to play my heart out on the pitch and give everything for this club.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghoochannejhad will be a useful addition to Corica’s squad, given his versatility across the frontline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the forward is relishing the opportunity to link with the A-League’s joint top-scorer Adam Le Fondre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have played in several position throughout my career,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Personally, my best position is a No 9 – as a single striker. I can play on the wings or behind the striker, there are many options but that’s up to the coaches to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of my strongest points is my combination, I like to link up, I like to get involved and I have a pretty good sense for scoring goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m looking forward to work<\/g> together with all my teammates. It’s great that Adam has had a great season so far and I hope we can get better and better.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
