Qarabag football club is showing good results in the UEFA Champions League. I think the reason for this is the Brazilian football players. Of course, everyone plays well, but the Brazilian players have scored the necessary goals at the right moments. I am very glad to see the contributions of Brazilian players to the development of Azerbaijani football," said Manuel Montenegro, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Brazil to Azerbaijan, in an interview with APA.
“A few years ago, as an idea from the Brazilian Football Confederation, I proposed that we accept young Azerbaijanis into our football schools. This idea can be further developed.
Of course, professional football clubs have their own recruitment practices. At the same time, Brazilian footballers are very happy to play in Azerbaijan. I have spoken with the players, and they say they have adapted to Azerbaijan and have been warmly welcomed here,” the ambassador said.
