Nando commented on the start of the Championship and shared his thoughts on coaching career:

• Please comment on the first five rounds of the 2019/20 season. Which games required maximum concentration and dedication?
• All games require maximum attention. After five rounds we know that we lost important points in losses and draws with Sinara and KPRF, but we will restore these points at home!

• What tasks do you set for yourself as a Gazprom-Ugra player and as a national team player?
• We need to get back to the final of the Russian Championship, in order to play at the Champions League, this is the main priority. I always think to win every possible title, no matter what tournament we participate in. There is no other way, I do everything for that!

• Less than a month from now, there will be Elite Round of LC matches in Moscow and Tyumen. Did you follow the draw? What matches do you plan to attend?
• To be honest, I didn’t watch the draw, but I will watch the games in Moscow because I have friends who will face each other in the matches of this round!

• Do you think about a coaching career? Perhaps in the distant future?
• In fact, futsal will be out of the question when I finish my career. Of course, everything can change, but today there are no thoughts about it. I’ve been involved in this sphere since I was 6 years old, so I think it will be the end of this stage in my life!

• What’s the lineup of your “dream team”?
• There are many skilfull players, it is difficult to choose… Guita, the goalkeeper of Sporting, Romulo KPRF, Abramov Sinara, Ferrao Barcelona, Robinho Benfica.
