Brighton & Hove Albion – BRIGHTON, Forward has started last two Premier League games for Albion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alireza Jahanbakhsh says there isn’t a feeling quite like scoring in front of an Amex full house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iran international has two goals so far this campaign \u2013 both coming behind closed doors in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScoring in front of fans in a packed stadium compared to an empty one is a completely different feeling. The reaction and the atmosphere is so different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all want to win in front of them, Manchester City is probably the toughest game we could have had for them to return for, but we will prepare as best we can.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While feeling Albion’s support from a distance throughout the lockdowns, having fans at the Amex is something the entire squad is looking forward to, according to the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can’t wait for the supporters to be back \u2013 we had them back for two games in December. When they weren’t there we felt the support from them, but being physically there makes a huge difference to the players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will be good to see them after such a long time, it will be good for them as well I am sure as we know they have missed coming to the Amex. It\u2019s great news for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jahanbakhsh says a return to some sort of normality is a positive for players and supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn’t see my family for a long time \u2013 I haven\u2019t seen a lot of them and my best friends for nearly a year and I can\u2019t wait for us to be reunited. We have football, but we need our families, the people who can help us mentally to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would say to everyone that good days and bad days don\u2019t last forever and we need to stay strong until normal life returns. We\u2019re all looking forward to hugging and kissing our loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
