Everton Bala shared that he is currently focused entirely on Levski, after the striker won the Player of the Month award for February. He said that he can't wait to find out what fate will bring him after the end of the season.
"It is an honor and I am very happy to win this award. I also take this opportunity to specially congratulate Levski and all the supporters. We are extremely happy for our captain. I can end with the words "Only Levski" and I am extremely happy. I hope to continue like this, even better", said Bala.
"I assure you that we are working seriously on all factors. I don't think that the last 2-3 games we've had any difficulties and just because we haven't scored many goals, this will affect our future performance. We have great players in the team, very good players are gathered. They know how to score goals, pass and how to behave on the pitch. Since we haven't scored enough goals, it's clear that we're working to improve it. I don't think that this will somehow affect our confidence," he added.
"The most important thing is to always show good form and maintain a good level. Off the pitch you have to perform well in order to perform well on the pitch. I want to apologize to you that my answer won't satisfy you, but I always think about what's happening at the moment. What I'm experiencing at the moment in Levski makes me think only about them and I'm focused on the present. I am very happy in Levski, when the championship is over, we will see what fate will be, "the striker also shared.
"My nickname comes from my teenage years. I have friends with whom I later played in my previous team, and they asked me why I didn't put Bala next to my name (b.r. "bala" in Portuguese means bullet), I was very fast. They told me to put it at least on social networks and to respect my sense of humor I said I would leave it for a month. For a month no one called me Everton, only Bala. Since then, this nickname has stuck. Now I associate it more with the power of my shot, but it came from the speed. I was very fast. Today I prefer to be associated with the power of my shot, since there are much faster footballers than me. The goal is certainly important, because we knew it would be a difficult match (note: his goal against Lokomotiv Sofia).
Let's start the match with a goal like the one I scored... So far, I think this is my most beautiful goal. Maybe what we lack in the matches against Ludogorets is composure in front of the goal. In these matches you have to score a goal. It often happens that you have 2-3 situations, you don't manage to score, the opponent manages to score from one situation and so on. Especially in the matches with Ludogorets, maybe we lack a little experience and composure in front of the goal. It is clear that we use this word in our conversations and that is normal. We know about the huge opportunity that is opening up before us. But as you heard from Kostadinov, our coach says this too, and I will say it too - match by match, day by day. So far, all the matches have been difficult, and they will become more and more difficult.
In the situation we are in, the points we have won, the teams will play even more closely. We need to prepare. We are definitely aware of the opportunity that is opening up before us. I hope we will achieve the big goal at the end of the championship. The most important thing is the football language. Every day, we all understand each other very well. The climate is quite light and pleasant in the locker room. The atmosphere in the locker room reflects our performance on the field. You are always ready to give your all and help your teammate. The most important thing is the football vocabulary. We are all very united," concluded Bala.
