"The mood is good. But I don't think it has risen after the match with Benfica."
These words were said by Toral Bayramov in an interview with sportnet.az, who scored a hat-trick in the 5th round match of the Azerbaijan Premier League, in which they won 5:0 against "Araz-Nakhchivan".
We present that interview:
- How do you assess the game?
- "Araz-Nakhchivan" is a combative and aggressive team. We were well prepared. I am glad that we got the victory we wanted.
– You scored a hat-trick for the first time in your career. What can you say about this?
– Yes, it's the first time. To be honest, I don't know how to express my opinion. It's a very joyful moment. I think this is one of the moments that a football player will not be able to forget in his career. I believe that I will be able to continue it.
– Are you taking the ball home?
– Yes. The ball has the signatures of the players.
– Is Kristian Avram's signature there too?
– No, he doesn't have a signature (laughs - ed.).
– Was the red card in this game the breaking point of the meeting, or would you have won in any case?
– Frankly, we don't feel it that much when we are on the field. We try to fulfill the task. Maybe you can see it differently from the outside. But I will not be able to express my opinion on this.
– What is the mood in the team after the game with "Benfica"?
– Of course, the mood is good. But I don't think it has risen after the match with "Benfica". It doesn't matter against "Benfica" or someone else, winning in the Champions League is a very good motivation. We are happy that we won and the mood in the team is currently very high. We will try to keep it and continue it.
– There are already bigger expectations from the match with "Copenhagen". Will this factor create additional pressure on the team?
– We don't go to any game to lose. I have always mentioned this and I am saying it now. We go to every match with a good game to win. Before the game with "Copenhagen", we will have a match with "Gabala" in the championship. I think we will prepare well. The expectations of the fans are high. I hope that we will be able to meet their expectations and achieve the result we want.
