"I am happy to help the team. But the most important thing was that we started scoring points again."
This was stated by Pedro Mateus, the Portuguese goalkeeper of "Karvan-Yevlax", in his interview with futbolinfo.az.
We present that interview.
– You couldn't help "Karvan-Yevlax" for a long time because you were injured. How does it feel to return to the green fields?
– To be honest, it's a great relief for me. Throughout my career, I have never had a serious injury that would stop me from training or playing games. This was the first time and it was very difficult psychologically to be without training and games for so long. But I managed to leave that stage behind, and from now on I hope that I will be able to help my team in all games.
– You were remembered for several saves during the game with "Imishli". Moreover, "Karvan-Yevlax", which had not scored points for eight games, put an end to the unsuccessful trend. Can we say that your return was successful?
– I am happy to help the team. But the most important thing was that we started scoring points again. We still have a lot of work to do.
– In the next round, you will host "Neftchi" in your home stadium. Your opponent could not keep the score in the first game under the leadership of the new head coach. What result do you expect in the match with "Neftchi"?
– We expect a difficult game against a strong team. But since we are playing at home, we will fight to the maximum and fight for victory. Our goal is to play well and score points.
– Does scoring only 6 points after 15 rounds and being at the bottom of the tournament table put additional pressure on the team?
– Of course, the tournament table shows our difficult situation, but pressure is part of football. The team is together and focused on improving from game to game.
– What are your thoughts on your new head coach, Fuzuli Mammadov? What changes have taken place in the team since his arrival?
– Fuzuli Mammadov came with his own ideas, bringing more organization and intensity to the team. We are gradually mastering his requirements.
– How do you assess your chances of getting rid of the last place in the upcoming rounds and maintaining your place in the Misli Premier League?
– We know that the situation is difficult, but we believe in the work we are doing. If we remain attentive and competitive, we can get out of this situation and keep our place in the league.
