“Zirə”nin legioneri: “Avrokuboklara vəsiqə qazanacağımıza tam inanıram”

“Zirə” Premyer Liqanın XXII turunda “Araz-Naxçıvan”a qalib gəlib – 1:0.

“Qartallar”ın qapıçısı Tiaqo Silva matçla bağlı “Futbolpress.az“ın suallarını cavablandırdı…

– Avrokuboklara vəsiqə yolunda rəqiblərinizdən birini məğlub etdiniz. Fikirləriniz nədir?
– Bu, xüsusilə də Avropa yerləri uğrunda mübarizədə bizim üçün çox vacib üç xal idi. “Araz-Naxçıvan” kimi komandaya qarşı belə oyunlar xırda detallar üzərində həll olunur və biz 1:0 hesablı qələbəni təmin etmək üçün yetkinlik, diqqət və güclü komanda ruhu göstərdik. Qapımızı toxunulmaz saxlamaq hər zaman müsbət haldır və bu, bütün komandanın əməyinin göstəricisidir. Sadəcə mövsümün bu qədər vacib mərhələsində tribunada daha çox azarkeş görməmək bir az məyusedicidir. Onların dəstəyi böyük fərq yaradır və ümid edirik ki, növbəti oyunlarda bu enerjini daha çox hiss edəcəyik.

– Qarşıda “Sumqayıt”a qarşı kubok oyunu var. “Turan Tovuz”la liqadakı 3 xallıq fərqi nəzərə alsaq, əsas diqqəti kuboka yönəldib, titul qazanmaq arzunuz var?
– “Sumqayıt”a qarşı kubok oyununun çox vacib olduğunu bilirik. İlk oyun 0:0 hesabı ilə başa çatdı, buna görə də hər şey açıq qalır və oyunun taleyi yenə detallarla həll olunacaq. Addım-addım irəliləyəcəyik, ikinci oyunda planımıza və etməli olduqlarımıza fokuslanacağıq. Təbii ki, finalı da düşünürük. Rəqibə hörmətlə yanaşırıq, lakin keyfiyyətimizə inanırıq və hədəfimizə çatmaq üçün mübarizə aparacağıq.

– Son bir ayda “Sumqayıt”la iki dəfə qarşılaşmısınız. Artıq onları daha yaxından tanıdığınızı demək olar?
– Gəldiyim gündən demişəm ki, kiminlə oynamağımızın fərqi yoxdur. “Zirə” hər zaman meydana qələbə üçün çıxmalıdır. Artıq göstərmişik ki, istər çempionluq uğrunda mübarizə aparan, istərsə də liqada qalmaq üçün oynayan komandalar olsun, istənilən rəqibi məğlub edə bilərik.

– Premyer Liqada mükafatçılar sırasına düşmək şanslarınızı necə dəyərləndirirsiniz?
– Avrokuboklarda olacağımıza tam inanıram. Buna qətiyyən şübhəm yoxdur. Qələbələr üçün mübarizəni davam etdirəcəyik və qalan 11 oyuna final kimi yanaşacağıq.

– Qarşıdakı 4 turdakı 3 rəqib autsayderlərdir… Təqvim də lehinizədir demək olar?
– Favorit olmağımız keyfiyyətimizdən və oyunun müxtəlif məqamlarını düzgün oxuyub idarə etmək bacarığımızdan irəli gəlir.

Report: Man City star has several offers on the table as he looks to leave the Premier League

Bernardo Silva’s decade-long chapter at Manchester City could be drawing to a close, with multiple clubs across Europe and the United States monitoring his situation ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Daily Mail.

The Portuguese playmaker, now 31, is approaching the end of his contract and is believed to be open to a fresh challenge after years of sustained success in England.

Interest has reportedly emerged from Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire, Portuguese giants Benfica and Serie A contenders Juventus, while clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also keeping tabs on developments.

Bernardo Silva has had a strong influence at Man City

Man City signed Silva from AS Monaco in 2017, and he has since become one of the most tactically intelligent and versatile players in Pep Guardiola’s system.

Comfortable operating in central midfield, wide areas or even deeper creative roles, Silva’s adaptability has made him indispensable during City’s domestic and European triumphs.

His relentless work rate, technical quality and composure under pressure have defined his time at the Etihad Stadium.

However, with his contract entering its final months, both player and club must now consider next steps.

Chicago Fire are reportedly exploring ambitious additions to raise the club’s global profile, and Silva’s pedigree fits that vision.

Meanwhile, a romantic return to Benfica, where Silva began his professional career, has long been speculated.

Juventus view Silva as an experienced leader capable of elevating their midfield creativity.

Additionally, financial incentives from the Saudi Pro League remain a possibility.

Whether he chooses a sentimental return, a European challenge, or a new adventure abroad, his departure would mark the end of a significant era at Man City.

After years of consistent excellence under Pep Guardiola, Silva now faces a crucial career decision.

With interest spanning Spain, Italy and the Middle East, the 31-year-old could be set for a new chapter after nearly a decade in Manchester.

Bernardo Silva has been a key figure for Man City

Man City signed Silva from AS Monaco in 2017, and he quickly established himself as one of Guardiola’s most tactically versatile players.

Comfortable operating as a central attacking midfielder, wide playmaker or even in deeper roles when required, Silva’s intelligence and work rate have made him indispensable in City’s system.

Man City manager Guardiola has called Bernardo ‘one of the best players’ he has ever trained in his career.

Despite entering his thirties, Silva remains technically sharp and tactically adaptable.

Atlético Madrid are reportedly monitoring Silva’s contract situation closely.

Diego Simeone’s side are seeking creative reinforcement to complement their established attacking core, and Silva’s experience at the highest level fits the profile.

Spanish football’s slower tempo and emphasis on technical control could suit Silva’s playing style, particularly as he enters the later stages of his career.

Interest is not limited to Madrid. Juventus and Barcelona have also been linked, while clubs in the Saudi Pro League are believed to be monitoring developments.
