"If we play with the same dedication and quality, we have a good chance of winning."
This was stated by "Shamakhi"'s Portuguese midfielder Ricardo Apolinario in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
We present that interview:
– You won against Gabala in the last game. What are your thoughts on the game?
– We already knew in advance that it would be a difficult game. Gabala likes to control the ball and shows very good dynamics. We started the game very well and could have finished the first half with a bigger score. In the second half, as expected, Gabala started pressing more and tried to turn the game around. We had opportunities to "close" the game in transitions, but we couldn't use them. Overall, I think the victory was fair in 90 minutes.
– Were you expecting 3 points before the game?
– Of course. We are a very intense and competitive team and will always fight for 3 points.
– The team started the championship with 9 points. Do you consider this good?
– I think we are on the right track, but I know that this team is capable of doing more. We couldn't collect points in some games, although we were very close to it. But that is already in the past, now we need to focus on the upcoming games and work.
– You scored a goal from a penalty…
– It was a penalty goal and I don't think I did much work. But the most important thing is that this goal brought points to the team and I hope to contribute to the team's success with more goals.
– The next game will be against Kapaz. They are outsiders. What are your expectations from this game?
– I don't see them as outsiders because they have a good team. They just haven't won the points they wanted for their goals yet. I think this will be a very important game for us. If we play with the same dedication and quality, we have a good chance of winning.
