"Anything can happen in the second half of the championship. You know that the competition intensifies even more after the winter break."
This was stated by Araz-Nakhchivan midfielder Felipe Santos in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
We present the interview.
– "Araz-Nakhchivan" started the second half of the season with a 2:2 draw with "Imishli". Is the team fully ready for the second half of the season, or does it need some more time for that?
– Actually, we are still in the preparation stage. We will probably reach our optimal form through the upcoming games. We need some more time.
– You had an injury. What is your current situation? When will you be able to return to the green field?
– I am 100 percent ready, I join the trainings and I am waiting to play. My non-participation in the match with "Imishli" was the decision of the head coach.
– How did you feel about the departure of Elmar Bakhshiyev, whom you know from "Gabala" and with whom you worked for a long time?
– It's hard to talk about this. Everyone was used to E.Bakhshiyev and understood him very well. Unfortunately, Elmar Bakhshiyev left the team. Elmar Bakhshiyev is a great coach. I wish him success in his future career.
– What are your thoughts on your new head coach Andrey Demchenko? How will the change of head coach affect the game and results of "Araz-Nakhchivan"?
– I prefer not to comment on this question.
– How do you think, will "Araz-Nakhchivan", which is currently in sixth place, be among the teams that will win a ticket to the European Cups at the end of the season?
– Anything can happen in the second half of the championship. You know that the competition intensifies even more after the winter break. I hope that "Araz-Nakhchivan", as in the previous season, will again achieve its main goal and be able to get a ticket to the European Cups.
– There are rumors that you have received offers and will leave "Araz-Nakhchivan". How true is this? Will we see you in "Araz-Nakhchivan" at least until the end of the season?
– The transfer window is still open and we will evaluate the most correct path. I have a contract with "Araz-Nakhchivan" and I will continue to do my best for the club.
