We decided to talk to the 27-year-old about the break in the championship. Andrade gladly answered the questions of offsideplus.az .
- You were injured in the game with "Neftchi" and left the field early. How are you?
- I injured my left leg. I am being treated by doctors. I will successfully complete the recovery and start training.
- How do you feel in Qarabag?
- Excellent. I must say that I am happy to be a member of this family.
- What do you like about Qarabag?
- First of all, the atmosphere in the team. I have been warmly welcomed since the day I arrived and I feel comfortable on the field. And, of course, the team playing with the ball. Being a supporter of technical football, I like the game of Qarabag.
- Many players need time to adapt to a new team. As for you, as soon as you arrived, you started to play comfortably, as if Qarabag had stopped for several years. What was the reason?
- As I said earlier, the coaching staff and teammates welcomed me very warmly. They did their best to adapt to the team and the new atmosphere. I also tried to fulfill the tasks of the head coach on the field, I played in a comfortable way. These two factors helped me to adjust.
- What information did you have about our country and Qarabag before coming here?
- If I say that I have extensive information about Azerbaijan, I would be lying. All I knew was about Karabakh. Every year I saw the name of this team in the Euroleague group. I even remember the game with Sporting. After receiving the offer, I started collecting information about both Azerbaijan and Baku.
- When you played for the Bulgarian Cherno More, you were not involved in the national team of Cape Verde. As soon as you started playing for Karabakh, the head coach sent you an invitation. Was it the result of performing in Euroleague?
- When I played for Cherno More, an invitation was sent. The games were postponed simply because of the pandemic. Undoubtedly, playing with Qarabag in the Euroleague group was an advantage in receiving an invitation from the national team.
- Can you compare the championship of Azerbaijan with the championship of Bulgaria, where you used to play?
- They are different championships. In Bulgaria, mainly power football is preferred, relatively different football is played. In Azerbaijan, most teams play technical football.
