Leandro Andrade: "The fans gave us great motivation"

"I think we performed well as a team. We played together, we supported each other."

İdman.biz reports that "Qarabağ" footballer Leandro Andrade said this in an interview with Telegraf after the return match of the III qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, in which they won 5:1 against the North Macedonian representative "Shkendija".

The 26-year-old midfielder emphasized that the fans also contributed to their promotion to the play-off stage: "I want to thank all the fans because the atmosphere was great. Every time we attacked, the fans made a lot of noise and that gave us a lot of motivation. So, it was a good day."

Andrade gave a very good assessment of the changes in his team during the summer break: "First of all, very good players play on the field. Secondly, they are wonderful people. We also have a very good relationship at the base, that is, outside the field. This is also very important."

He also shared his expectations from the play-off games against Hungary's "Ferencváros": "There will be difficult games. It is difficult to say in advance that we will win. I don't think we will win 1:0 or 5:0 before the game. I pay full attention to the head coach's instructions and focus on my work."

It should be noted that Leandro Andrade was the author of the last goal in the return match with "Shkendija".
