Ricardo Fernandes says Shamakhi can still earn many points

Shamakhi goalkeeper Ricardo Fernandes has commented on the team’s performance in the first round of the Misli Premier League. The Portuguese player said the team could regard the stage as successful, but added that they wanted to collect more points.

“We know that our resources are limited compared with other teams, particularly financially. Even so, we are competing with what we have and should aim to achieve more,” Fernandes told Sport24.az.

The goalkeeper said that, rather than dwelling on points dropped, it was important to identify mistakes and areas for improvement. The team should work to minimise errors and improve every day and in every match.

Fernandes said the team could decide whether to be satisfied or dissatisfied with its position in the standings only at the end of the season. With only a third of the championship completed, he noted that many points were still available to compete for.

Shamakhi sit seventh in the Misli Premier League with 14 points after 11 rounds.
