Interview with Charles Boli, the new transfer of "Araz-Nakhchivan", to Futbolxeber.az
- You have joined "Araz-Nakhchivan" for a few days now. What are your initial impressions?
- My initial impressions are excellent. I am happy to be here. I was very well received at "Araz-Nakhchivan". Both players, coaches, and technical staff. There is a great atmosphere in the team. All this makes me happy.
- Although it is a cliché, we must ask, did you have any information about Azerbaijan or our football before?
- Before coming here, I had some information about Azerbaijan. But seeing it live is completely different. Although I have been in Baku for a few days, I really liked the city. True, I haven't had much opportunity to travel yet. But it is clear that the capital is very beautiful. From the football side, I had obtained some information from some acquaintances who play here.
- From whom?
- I know Ervin Koffi from "Neftchi", Abdullah Zubir from "Qarabagh". Before coming here, I had a conversation with them. Both Koffi and Zubir expressed positive opinions about "Araz-Nakhchivan".
- "Araz-Nakhchivan" is waiting for the UEFA Conference League. How do you assess the chances in the games with "Aris"?
- "Aris" is a good team. They have a very good squad. However, we must be ready. We will do our best to be the ones who are happy. We have 20-25 days. I believe that we will perform well against the Greek club.
- Is it in favor of or against "Araz-Nakhchivan" to play the first match at home?
- There is no significant difference. If we want to pass the stage, we must play well and carefully in both matches, make as few mistakes as possible and do our best to win.
- Considering that you are a graduate of "Lens", does the phrase "Land of fire Azerbaijan" remind you of anything?
- Of course, I have information about "Land of fire Azerbaijan". It was a great project. I also know Hafiz Mammadov and "Baku". At that time, I was in the academy of "Lens".
- Within the framework of cooperation, the graduates of "Baku" also spent some time training at the academy of "Lens". Some of these young people wear the uniform of the Azerbaijani national team today. Are there any names you remember?
- Yes, I remember that at that time several young football players of "Baku" were also in the academy of "Lens". Unfortunately, I don't remember their names now.
