Four players were nominated for the ‘Hopper of the Month May’ presented by Synergetics. In addition to Giotto Morandi, Abrashi, Hammel and Abubakar were also up for selection. In the end, however, Giotto came out on top and received the most votes from all GC fans.
The attacking player played in all seven games in May, starting six times. Only in the last game of the regular season in Lausanne did Morandi not feature in the starting eleven. The month of May began extremely successfully for the attacking player: in the win against Stade-Lausanne, the number 8 was involved in all three goals, scoring two himself and setting up one for Abubakr.
However, the important performances then came in the two barrage matches against FC Thun. While he held his nerve in the first leg and scored the important equaliser from the spot, in the second leg he scored the opening goal after just three minutes with a spectacular volley.
Grasshopper Club Zürich congratulates Giotto Morandi on winning the ‘Hopper of the Month May’ award.
