Idman.Biz, citing German media, reports that the player, who scored two goals in the Baku match to secure a win for his team, stated in his statement that he was satisfied with the result.
“Of course, I am happy with the win because this result was very important for our team. The last two games were difficult, so winning today was of special importance. We were able to achieve it.
I congratulate the whole team and thank the fans for their support. However, we failed to take advantage of a few goal-scoring opportunities. I think that if we remain consistent, we can achieve a lot this season,” Girassi emphasized.

"Sabah"'s center defenders shadowed me step by step throughout the match; literally gave me no room to breathe. They defended very physically and aggressively.
