Bahadur Haziyev: "The game against "Shafa" will be a six-point match" - INTERVIEW

Interview of "Sabail" forward Bahadur Haziyev to Sport24.az

- You defeated "Zagatala" with a score of 1:0 in the V round of the First League. What can you say about the game?
- First of all, I thank our fans. They are always with us. The game was very interesting. There was a good tempo. The opponent defended well. They preferred counterattacks. We had the advantage in both halves. We had a lot of scoring chances, but we only managed to score once and won three points.

- You are currently moving forward undefeated and are the leader in the First League. Does this make you complacent?
- No. We have only played five games so far. There are enough matches ahead. We want to continue like this. We go to every match for 3 points, not 1. Our goal is the championship.

- There are other teams in the First League that are also claiming the championship. Did you expect such a result at the beginning of the season?
- We are one of them. There is no weak opponent. Everyone is fighting in the First League. We knew in advance that it would not be easy.

- You also have Premier League experience. Is the difference between the two leagues very big?
- We see more tough and combative football in the First League. In the Premier League, tactics and technique are given priority.

- Your next meeting will be against another ambitious team, "Shafa"...
- I think this will be a six-point match. We must take this game seriously. We will also go to the field to win.

- At the end of the month, you will face "Shamakhi" in the II qualifying round of the Azerbaijan Cup. What can you say about this game?
- We are not thinking about this match yet. Now we will focus on the championship game.

- Can there be a sensation in the national cup?
- Anything is possible in football.
