"It was a good game. Both teams are fighting for European cups."
This was stated by "Zira" goalkeeper Tiago Silva in an interview with futbolxeber.az.
We present the interview.
- You defeated "Sumgayit" away in the 19th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. How would you comment on the 3:2 victory?
- It was a good game. Both teams are fighting for European cups. "Sumgayit" also aims to be in the top positions. That's why we knew it would be a difficult game. Moreover, we had faced this team 3 days before in the cup match. It is difficult to play two consecutive games against the same opponent in 4-5 days. However, I think we won a well-deserved victory.
- This match was very different from the cup match...
- I think this time the match was more interesting. Both teams performed more productively. This also pleased the fans. We and "Sumgayit" fought better. Such games are also to the liking of the fans.
- You were back in the starting lineup after a two-match break. Considering that you conceded two goals, how successful do you consider your return?
- Of course, I wouldn't want to concede two goals. But this is also a part of football. My teammates played very well today. Although we conceded two goals, we were more different from the opponent. It is also necessary to take into account the strength of "Sumgayit". The opponent has very dangerous players.
- Finally, after a five-round break, "Zira" won 3 points. Will it be possible to continue the winning streak?
- We play every game to win, regardless of the opponent. Whether it is "Qarabag", "Sabah" or "Sumgayit". Our goal is to win every match.
- What is the goal for the end of the season?
- We are not looking too far ahead at the moment. We only think about each next match. Overall, our goal is to be second again.
- Can it be said that thanks to this victory, "Zira" has become the favorite before the return match in the cup?
- I think the chances are equal in the cup. True, we will play in our own field. But "Sumgayit" will also do everything possible to pass the stage. We must repeat what we did this time in the return match. Our goal is also to win the cup.
- You will face "Karvan-Yevlakh" in the next round. What are your expectations from that match?
- We will go to the field to win. Although "Karvan-Yevlakh" is in a lower position, you should not be complacent. We cannot lose points in the upcoming match. We have to do our best and win.
