Patrik Andrade, who signed a contract with "Araz-Nakhchivan" a few days ago, is already in Baku. The new transfer participated in the team's morning training today.
Speaking about his new club, the Cape Verde national team member said: "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. I think it's a good transition for both me and my team. I am familiar with "Araz-Nakhchivan". We have faced them as rivals."
He also mentioned that he preferred his friend's advice when making the choice: "When I received an offer from "Araz-Nakhchivan", I spoke with Gara Garayev, with whom we used to play in the same club and who is currently a friend. Although I was informed about the club, I also received answers to some of my questions from him. My friend advised me to come here. I repeat, we have difficult Conference League games and intense championship matches ahead of us. So, we must succeed together in these games."
The midfielder also briefly commented on 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 be focused on passing the stage."
