Ronaldo de Souza: "We saw what the head referee saw, it was offside"

"We prepared well for this game."

These words were said by Ronaldo de Souza, a football player of "Imishli".

He shared his thoughts about the goalless draw against "Zira" in the 16th round of the Misli Premier League.

"We understood that the opponent is a high-quality team. They fought well in the European Cups. Gaining a point in a meeting with such a team can be considered a success. We did our best not to lose," he said in a statement to sport24.az.

The defender also commented on the 10-minute stoppage of the match due to VAR:

"It is possible that the quality of the video is not so high. Perhaps that is why it is difficult for the referees to draw the offside line. In any case, we saw what the head referee saw, it was determined there that the "Zira" player was ahead and it was offside."

The Brazilian legionnaire also touched on the performance of the regional representative in the first half of the season:

"So far, our results have been satisfactory. Of course, we could have earned more than that. We lost our three points for no reason in the match against "Sumgayit" in Guba. There are other matches where points were close. The team is young, and they get used to each other more as they play. During this break, the players will recover more and deserve to win more in the second half of the season."

It should be noted that "Imishli", with 17 points in its assets, went to the winter break in 9th place.
