Interview of Qarabag midfielder Leandro Andrade to Futbolxeber.az
Did you feel the pain of defeat at the end of the tense final? What prevented Qarabag from achieving a golden double?
In fact, it was known from the beginning that the match would be difficult. Waiting a week after the championship ended, preparation, etc., all this was not easy. Even though the opponent was the one who opened the score in the match, we were able to come back. It was very close to victory. Unfortunately, we missed the cup by conceding goals in our own goal twice in the end. This should be a lesson for us. We should not make the same mistakes in future matches and finals. Now it is time to rest.
Penalties were awarded to Qarabag twice during the match. Was this due to a lack of physical fitness?
No, this has nothing to do with physical fitness. It comes from losing concentration for 1-2 seconds. The best in the world, even Cristiano Ronaldo, can do this. Also, if a penalty is awarded to our goal, it is not the fault of one person. You need to look at where the opponent's attack starts, who loses the ball, etc. As I said, the penalty awarded to our goal is not the fault of one person.
What can you say about the refereeing?
I don't want to talk about the refereeing.
It is already known that Qarabag will start the fight in the UEFA Champions League from the second qualifying round, not the first...
I am very excited, very happy that we will participate in the Champions League again. This was our goal from the beginning of the season. It is a joy to participate in this competition.
When the cup was awarded, you were also awarded for being the top scorer of the Premier League. What are your impressions?
Of course, I am happy that I am the top scorer of the Premier League. In the future, I will do my best to benefit my team with the goals I score and to share in the victories.
