"First of all, I thank Araz-Nakhchivan for sending me an offer and wanting to see me in their squad. This team will participate in the UEFA Conference League, and the management is trying to build a strong squad," said Patrik Andrade, the new transfer of Araz-Nakhchivan, Sport24.az reports.
The Cape Verde national team player, who has already arrived in Baku, participated in the team's morning training session today. The football player commented on the transfer to the club's press service: "I think it's a good transfer for both me and my team. I am familiar with Araz-Nakhchivan. We have faced them as rivals."
Andrade also stated that he preferred his friend's advice when making his choice: "When I received an offer from Araz-Nakhchivan, I spoke with Gara Garayev, with whom we played in a club before and with whom we have a friendly relationship now. Although I was aware of the club, I also got answers to some of my questions from him. My friend advised me to come here. Again, I say that difficult Conference League games and intense championship matches await us. So, together we must succeed in these games."
The former Qarabag player also expressed his opinion about the opponent in the Conference League: "We will start the season with games against Aris. We have time to prepare and work. Of course, difficult games await us. There will be interesting matches. We have to work hard to prepare well. We will get better day by day and each of us must focus on passing the stage."
It should be noted that Andrade has signed a 1-year contract with Araz Nakhchivan.
