Gideon Goodlad: «Everything is here to grow and achieve something more»
Nigerian midfielder of FC “Sheriff” Gideon Goodlad - about himself, his formula for success and matches in the Europa League.
- Gideon, you were on a trial and in the end the club signed you, are you happy about it?
- Yes, I am very happy to sign a contract with Sheriff. This is a very big club, this is my dream. I will do everything possible to please the fans, my coaches and my family. When I moved to Maccabi Petah Tikva I also felt that my dream had come true, because I had not played anywhere at this level before. Today it is a different dream, because “Sheriff” is a European club, a club of great ambitions.
- What goals do you want to achieve in our team?
- I want to achieve great success in the team, help it to win a lot of trophies and show myself well.
- What is your formula for success?
- I need to work hard, I need to listen to the coaches, and the most important thing is discipline and self-confidence. There are all conditions to develop here, good fields, stadium, coaches, and the weather suits me. Everything is there to grow and achieve something more.
- How do you like the first game of our team in the Europa League?
- Yes, I watched the game, it's a shame that we lost. We talked a lot about it, looking for reasons for the defeat. Personally, I believe that we will win in a week, in Azerbaijan, we can achieve a good result there and I believe that God will help us in this.
- What do you think the team lacked in that game?
- I will tell you the opinion of a player. There are a lot of newcomers in the team and now we lack chemistry, mutual understanding in soccer is one of the most important qualities. There will be a team game, we are not upset and we think positively about the return match. We need to stay motivated and work hard in training.
- What qualities do you think will help us to overcome this round, considering that we have very little time for chemistry?
- Yes, you are right, there is not much time left to play, but we will still try. As for me, in the last match we did not have enough shots at the opponent's goal. Let's hope they will be more in the return game. I want to be more aggressive in attack, to shoot more often and create danger in the penalty area.
