Jair is the second top scorer and biggest assist provider on the team, being one of the players with the most direct goal contributions in the entire league. The team failed to qualify for the title race and now plays in the “play-out” phase, which also guarantees a spot in a European competition.
“It’s a difficult phase. We are trying to keep the team out of the danger zone and at the same time fighting to try to get a spot in the Conference League. Our team is very focused on making this happen and for that we have to focus on one game at a time,” he concluded.
