“The header is one of the best that I have seen live,” said Rosenior, a reference to Panichelli’s first, where he outjumped Ilia Zabarnyi and thundered his header past Lucas Chevalier. “The performance was one of the best centre-forward performances I have seen live, and it doesn’t surprise me, because he maximises himself in training every day. He works so hard,” added the Strasbourg manager in a press conference attended by GFFN.
He continued*, “He has an unbelievable mentality, and he has brought a winning mentality to this group. His goals, the way he took them, was incredible, but he led the line incredibly today, and I was very proud of him.”*
