"We have clearly defined goals from within. Our goal is to try to achieve the best possible result in all games."
This was stated by "Shamakhi" goalkeeper Ricardo Fernandes in an interview with sportal.az.
We present the interview:
- Your team played 0:0 with "Sabah" in the XII round. "Sabah" is one of the ambitious clubs of the league, but you managed to get one point from them. Did one point satisfy you?
- Playing at "Sabah"'s home is always a difficult trip. We always strive and fight for the best possible result. All points are important to us.
- "Shamakhi" is currently in 9th place in the tournament table with 14 points. You are only one point behind "Neftchi". What does "Shamakhi"'s potential allow? Can you join the fight for the European Cups?
- We have clearly defined goals from within. Our goal is to try to achieve the best possible result in all games. We strive for this from game to game, from training to training. Of course, this can be achieved by working harder and with humility.
- "Shamakhi" will face "Sumgayit" in the next round. "Sumgayit" is more ambitious this season. Do you think "Shamakhi" can beat their opponent? Or is one point enough for you?
- Undoubtedly, "Sumgayit" is having a great season and playing attractive, attacking football. We will play in front of our fans and fight to bring them joy. We can promise work and commitment.
- According to the news in the press, "Sabah" is interested in you. I wonder, if "Sabah"'s offer is official and serious, can we see you in that team from the new season? If I'm not mistaken, you did not accept their offer in the summer and preferred to stay in "Shamakhi"...
- I do not comment on this issue. It is not worth talking about the past. I am a "Shamakhi" football player.
- Aykhan Abbasov said in response to a question given to him at the national team's press conference: "Maybe we should naturalize Ricardo Fernandes for the Azerbaijani national team?". I wonder, if AFFA sends an offer when the time comes, will you agree to play for our national team?
- I am glad that my name is associated with the Azerbaijani national team. I feel happy in this country. But such issues should be discussed internally and with responsible persons.
