Brazilian defender Guilherme Guedes: "I really liked Namangan..."

As you know, this season a number of foreign players have joined the \"Navbahor\" squad. Among them is the 25-year-old Brazilian defender Guilherme Guedes. On the eve of the match \"Navbahor\" - \"Andijan\", which is part of the 3rd round of the Super League, Guedes gave an interview to the club\'s press service.

- Guilherme, let\'s start our conversation with a question about how you joined our team. Who invited you to \"Navbahor\"?
- My agent was looking for an opportunity for me to play outside of Brazil, because I wanted a change of scenery. Then the option of \"Navbahor\" appeared and I liked it. As a result, I joined \"Navbahor\".

- Did you have any impressions about football in our country before the invitation to \"Navbahor\"?
- To be honest, I had little information about Uzbek football. With the invitation from your team, I learned more about football in your country and learned that football is developing in your country, and that \"Navbahor\" is a club with a great history and wonderful fans.

- Was it difficult to adapt to the team?
- No, because the club officials, coaching staff and players welcomed me very warmly. I adapted to the team very quickly. I am grateful to them for that.

- You also played in official matches as part of \"Navbahor\". What did you like in Namangan? How do you feel here?
- I really like Namangan. It\'s a very peaceful and comfortable city to live in.

- Which players in the team have you made friends with?
- I have a very good relationship with all the players in Navbahor.

- What are your impressions of the matches in the Uzbekistan Super League?
- What I like about it is the competitiveness of the championship and the lack of easy games. In the Super League, all teams have almost equal chances. Playing in such a championship is very nice.

- You speak some words in Uzbek, is it a problem for you to learn the language?
- I can\'t speak Uzbek fluently yet, but I know a few words. Learning your language doesn\'t cause me much of a problem.

- What can you say about the fans of Navbahor? Anyway, you met them at the official games and the presentation ceremony...
- The reason for my coming to \"Navbahor\" was not only the club\'s great history, but also the fact that it has wonderful, dedicated, and loyal fans. I felt this before I came to Namangan. Having come to your city, I witnessed how the team\'s fans truly support \"Navbahor\" at the presentation ceremony and official games.
