Sumgayit's legionnaire Vasquez talks about the "Karvan-Yevlakh" game, team performance and matches against "Zira" - INTERVIEW

"We are working very well. We are also preparing for the rest of the season. Considering our position in the tournament table and how we train, yes, I can say that we are better."

This was stated by Sumgayit's legionnaire Ronaldo Vasquez in an interview with sportal.az.

We present this interview.

- You won the match against Karvan-Yevlakh. Was this match easy for you?

- We won three important points in this match to continue climbing the tournament table. It was a match where we did not take full advantage of our goal opportunities, but we were able to secure the victory. We had a lot of episodes.

- You had a lot of goal chances in the first half, you scored two of them. But you couldn't score after the break. Why can't you take advantage of the episodes properly?

- What is important to me is to win 3 points. It is true that I had another chance to score a goal and I could not take full advantage of it. But I am satisfied with the victory and the good game.

- How do you assess the team's game this season? Have you started playing better since Sasha Ilic came?

- We are working very well. We are also preparing for the rest of the season. Considering our position in the tournament table and how we train, yes, I can say that we are better.

- You scored one of the goals in the match against Karvan-Yevlakh, but you also had other goal opportunities. Were you satisfied with your performance?

- I try to be a little demanding of myself. It was a good game where I scored a goal and made a productive pass. But I always want more. Missed opportunities in this match will be an experience. The main thing is that we won 3 points.

- Sumgayit has a good chance to qualify for the European Cup. Will you be able to realize this at the end of the season?

- This is one of our goals and we are working to move towards it. We have the potential and a good team to do it.

- Sumgayit will play its next game in the national cup against Zira. How do you assess your chances of defeating Zira?

- We understand the importance of this match. We will do our best to ensure that the victory remains in Sumgayit. But we know for sure that it will be a tough game.

- Your next game in the Premier League is also against Zira. Do you find this interesting? Are there positive and negative aspects to this?

- Yes, it's interesting. But sometimes it happens like this. This is how it is in Azerbaijan.

- You have been playing in Sumgayit for a year now. How was your time in Azerbaijan, are you happy here? Will you sign a new contract with Sumgayit?

- I am very happy with my time in Azerbaijan. They treated me very well and I really appreciate it. My contract is about to expire, but I am focused on continuing to work as hard as possible to get the team to the top of the tournament table.
