Diogo Verdasca: "We deserved to win in the game against Qarabag"

An interview with "Kapaz" captain Diogo Verdasca for Sport24.az

– You defeated "Qarabag" away in the XVII round of the Misli Premier League. What can you say about the match?
– I think we played a very good game. We played compactly, took advantage of our attacking opportunities correctly and managed the game well. We had prepared well in recent weeks, and the result shows it.

– Did you expect such a result before the game?
– We go to every game to win. We knew it would be difficult, but it wasn't impossible. There is nothing impossible in football. I think we deserved to win this game. We were the superior side for most of the match. We fought until the end and got rewarded for it.

– How does it feel to beat a team like "Qarabag"?
– It feels like any other victory. The main thing is to win the important three points. We deserved to win.

– Do you follow your opponent's UEFA Champions League matches?
– Yes, I follow Qarabag's Champions League matches. I also follow other teams in the Europa League and Champions League.

– "Kapaz" is fighting to stay in the championship this season. Can you compete for European cups next season?
– I can only talk about this year and the work we have done so far. A few months ago, no one was talking about Kapaz competing for European cups next season. Let's focus on this season, this moment. The three points we have won now were very important for our goal.

– Has the club management promised a reward for the victory?
– The most important thing is the team's performance and achieving victory.
