Sport Witness – LONDON, For the Brentford Football Club fans who didn\u2019t know much about Saman Ghoddos when their club decided to loan the Iran international, they\u2019ll likely be aware of the four month ban he had to serve back in 2019 because of a failed move to Huesca.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all came down to the player not respecting an alleged agreement between Huesca and his former club, \u00d6stersund, choosing to join Amiens SC in France instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once his ban served (although there is still a CAS case looming over him), he returned to the then Ligue 1 side\u2019s squad, but a hip injury saw him unable to help them avoid relegation, with them now sitting in Ligue 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where he started this season, but Brentford came to the rescue, for which the 27-year-old is very thankful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting down for an interview with\u00a0Aftonbladet<\/a>, the Sweden born playmaker revealed how thrilled he was with the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First describing the last two years with Amiens SC as \u2018pure hell\u2019, he continued:\u00a0\u201cI can already say that I really love this team. There was such a bad energy at the end in France and I just wanted to start over. There is actually a bit of an \u00d6stersund feeling about the club, but with better resources, of course\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The penny dropped for Ghoddos about how different things were in England compared to other places in Europe when Brentford were set to play Millwall, reputed to be \u2018the worst team to face in all of England\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cThey told me the pitch was lousy, the fans extreme, how tough it was\u2026 I expected the worst, right? Then I got to see the pitch. There aren\u2019t even such nice fields in Sweden, and it wasn\u2019t just long balls, war and elbows to the face. They really tried to play\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having gone through a ban, some injuries, appendix problems, Covid-19 and lockdowns, Aftonbladet ask him if it\u2019s time for things to turn around for Ghoddos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He replied: \u201cRight?! Next match, I might score five goals? I just walk around waiting for it to happen. Haha\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly what Brentford fans will be hoping happens when they take on Middlesbrough on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
