Kerala Blasters started their pre-season in Kochi on the 1st of this month but Jianu did not join the team. The star, who arrived in the UAE the other day, started training with the team yesterday. Pictures of the star training with the team have already surfaced on social media.
Thirty-two-year-old Jianu is an excellent player who can play in the positions of center forward, second striker and right winger. It is reported that Gianu has been the focus of Blasters for the past two years. Giannu has played 338 matches at the club level so far, scoring 65 goals and assisting 32 goals.
Giannu’s family was born in the European country of Greece and migrated to Australia. That is why he has dual citizenship. Having played for Greece and Australia in various age group competitions, Giannu has also worn the jersey for these two teams at the senior level. Alvaro Vasquez and Jorge Pereira Diaz, who were the spearheads of Kerala Blasters’ forward line last season, joined the team’s progress following leaving the club. He is good at scoring long rangers and lob shot goals. So Blasters fans hope that this player can fill the gap of Vasquez.
