Domingues: It is important for me to give something to the fans

No wonder DVSC midfielder Brandon Domingues has become a fan favourite as he has been in excellent form recently. The passionate player, who never gives up, doesn’t think that he is as good as the public perceives him to be, but he appreciates the words of praise.

“Hard work is key and I’ve also become more confident. I see that the fans like me, which boosts my confidence too. In our situation, we have to give our all, perhaps that’s why I’m in a better form.”

It was a pleasure to watch Domingues, who scored against MTK, in action. Loki supporters were chanting his name during the match and for a long time after the final whistle as well.

“It felt fantastic when the fans were chanting my name. It was the first time when I heard this, and obviously, it felt great. I love our supporters and I know that they were worried when they heard that I could leave. I would also like to fight for them as they always stand by the team, they are coming and supporting us in hard times as well. For me, it is very important to give something to them.”

Several news came out, suggesting that the player wearing the number 99 jersey might leave the club. However, Brandon Domingues denied the rumours, much to the delight of the fans.

“DVSC is my club, which means that I do everything for the team. As I have mentioned before, it is very important to stay and persist during hard times. That’s what being a family means, which I learned from my mother. The club and my teammates mean everything to me here. I feel good in this team, so there is no reason for me to leave. Money is not everything and for me, football is not all about money. I would like to create something in Debrecen and I also want the team to stay in the first division next year.”

Loki has won two out of two matches so far, achieving a good start, which was crucial.

“We did start well the second part of the season and that’s how we have to continue. We need to stay humble as we are still close to the relegation zone. We would like to move up higher on the table and we need to prove that we are capable of playing good football as we did against Nyíregyháza and MTK. We gave our all and we need to continue with this attitude.”

Brandon Domingues clearly enjoys playing football as he often delights the audience with brilliant moves.

“This is my style. Obviously, I watched a lot of videos about these moves as a child and I tried to copy them. It wasn’t easy, but everyone liked it, including me, so I learned the tricks.”

The French-Portugese player has scored 7 goals in the championship so far, but as he mentioned, he does not think about becoming the top scorer.

“I would leave that position for our striker Dodó. Of course, If I have the opportunity to score, I try, but if I can provide an assist to Dodó or Mauri, I will do that. I don’t think about the table of the top scorers, I just try to help the team with goals and assists.”

Unfortunately, Domingues will not be able to do that against Puskás as he is suspended due to earning his 5th yellow card against MTK. Thus, the team has to achieve the best result without our midfielder on Saturday.

“I believe in my team and in the fact that the guys will do a good job. I expect many supporters as we are going to play at home and we are also in a good series. Felcsút is a good team too, they beat Ferencváros at home and as the leader of the table, they are coming to Debrecen with full confidence. Yet, we concentrate on our own play, so I’m confident.”

Finally, Brandon Domingues told that he really loves Debrecen, where he already has his favourite places.

“I feel good here and I don’t feel the need of living in a big city. Of course, there are numerous opportunities in Budapest, but Debrecen is big enough for me. I hope that I can stay here and play football as long as possible.”
