Jarjou, who had 14 goals and 16 assists during his stint with CasaSports, said he is looking forward to the group stages.

“Another big achievement to play in the competition. It’s the biggest competition. I am looking forward to it. The objective of the team is to go further in the competition. As a forward player, you aim to score and help your team win many games. I have a target to score many goals and be among the top scorers”. He stressed.
