You know, this season a number of foreign players joined the squad of "Navbahor". Among them is the 25-year-old Brazilian defender Guilherme Gedesh. On the eve of the match between "Navbahor" and "Andijon" in the 3rd round of the Super League, Gedesh gave an interview to the club's press service.
- Guilherme, let's start our conversation with the question of how you joined our team. Who invited you to "Navbahor"?
- My agent was looking for opportunities for me to play outside Brazil because I wanted to change my environment. Then the option of "Navbahor" came up, and I liked it. As a result, I joined "Navbahor".
- Before the invitation to "Navbahor", did you have any impressions about football in our country?
- To be honest, I had little information about Uzbek football. After receiving the invitation from your team, I learned more about football in your country and found out that football is developing there, 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 have also played in official matches for "Navbahor". What did you like in Namangan? How do you feel here?
- I really liked Namangan. It is a very calm and comfortable city to live in.
- Which players in the team have you managed to befriend?
- I have very good relations with all the players in "Navbahor".
- What impressions do the matches of the Uzbekistan Super League leave on you?
- The appealing aspect is the competitiveness of the championship and the absence of easy games. The capabilities of all teams in the Super League are almost equal. Playing in such a championship is very enjoyable.
- You are speaking some words in Uzbek, are you having any problems learning the language?
- I can't speak Uzbek fluently yet, but I know a few words. Learning your language is not much of a problem for me.
- What can you say about "Navbahor" fans? After all, you met them during official matches and the presentation ceremony...
- The fact that the club has a great history, along with its amazing, devoted, and loyal fans, motivated me to come to "Navbahor". I felt this even before I arrived in Namangan. Coming to your city, I witnessed that the team fans truly support "Navbahor" in a worthy manner during the presentation ceremony and official matches.
