Fuad Niftaliyev: "For me, age is just a number, self-confidence is key"

For Fuad Niftaliyev, the 45-year-old basketball player of the "Sumgayit" club, age is just a number.

The experienced player gave an interview to "Report" about this.

He shared his thoughts on his transfer to the representative of the "city of youth": "If a player is confident in himself, is in good shape, why shouldn't he continue? The main thing is a person's self-confidence. For me, age is just a number. Physical preparation is also very important. I also feel in good shape. I will do my best to play".

Niftaliyev said that he may continue his career next season: "The regulation of 4 legionnaires and one local player was not suitable for me last season. But this season, because there is a "3+2" limit in group B, I wanted to play. If it continues like this next season, I can think about it. For now, we will focus on performing well this season. The main thing is to avoid injuries. We'll think about next season later".

The basketball player also touched upon the game against "Quba" in the 3rd round: "My first match in the team will be tomorrow. This is an important match for us. We are preparing seriously for this meeting. I hope we will win tomorrow".
