These are said by new transfer Rafael Santos to gabalafc.az. He adds more details on is come to the club:

After receiving offer from Gabala, I started to pick details on this team. I got in touch with keeper Diego Costa Silva and he let me know more about Gabala, as well as Azerbaijan. He talked to me about the perfect facilities and pitches of the club. Then I met with seniors of the club. Knowing Yuri Semin as the head coach of Gabala took a big part on my decision. Now we are working really hard and with big efforts. I will keep going with my best to be in the best form during the Antalya training camp. I am convinced that I will be a big part of the team on our way to the targets".
