Tehran Times – POZNAN, Lech Poznan Iranian winger Ali Gholizadeh is happy to be in the Polish team and says that he knew that this would come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old player joined Lech Poznan in July 2023 from Belgian side Charleroi but failed to live up to the expectations.<\/p>\n

Gholizadeh is optimistic about the future in Ekstraklasa and says he is happy to be in the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can be much better and I can’t wait to jump to my highest level. I hope to do it as soon as possible, but there is no doubt – I can do more, I know myself and my capabilities. In my opinion, I was closest to my peak form in Charleroi, in one season I scored eight goals and had slightly fewer assists, those were good numbers,\u201d Gholizadeh said in an interview with Lech Pozna\u0144 website.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had two serious injuries since joining Lech Poznan. I feel much better now and I am very happy about it, I have worked hard for it. I am doing everything to do my best. In the previous years I was at the national team training camps and I arrived at my teams a bit later and I was not able to work with them for at least two weeks. For me, what happened this summer was a kind of rebirth. It’s incredibly important for a footballer to be able to fully participate in the preparations, and after such a long time without this opportunity, I had the feeling that something special was ahead of me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to start with the fact that we all had high expectations when I came to Lech. The fans, the club, myself. For a long time, I didn’t give the team much, but I always remembered that I had to be patient. At the same time, I understood people who said: hey, you haven’t shown anything yet, and you were supposed to be great. I felt that the time for repayment would come, and in order to do that I still have to do a lot,\u201d the Iranian international winger said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the match against Legia Warszawa I scored and my dream came true. I played well, the team played well, the stands were full of fans. I scored after three minutes and honestly, it’s one of my favorite matches in my entire life,\u201d Gholizadeh concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
