An interview with Coy-Slayd Mikels, the legionnaire of "Karvan-Yevlakh," to Sportal.az
- You managed to win in the match against "Kapaz." What do you think about the match?
- When the game started, the atmosphere here created some difficulties for us. We felt difficulties in the first few minutes. As time passed, of course, it became more normal.
- What was the difficulty you mentioned related to?
- I mean the weather in Gabala. I mean the environment. It's the altitude. We had some difficulties with that. But as time passed, we overcame that. We took a 1:0 lead in the score, which made our job a little easier. It also affected the course of the game. As time passed, we managed to take control of the game. You saw the result. I'm glad we won.
- You scored your first goal in the Premier League. What feelings are you experiencing?
- Of course, scoring a goal in the second game is a joyful event for me. It's my first goal in "Karvan." I am proud of my team. We will continue these games. We are trying to achieve a successful result.
- Last week you played on an artificial turf field in Shamakhi, this time on a natural turf field in Gabala. What do you think about these?
- It's true, it's a bit difficult for us. We played on artificial turf in the last game. But the two games are completely different in terms of structure and scheme. Because a certain kind of game is played on natural grass, and a different kind on artificial turf. It is the same for all teams. It changes from game to game. It doesn't stay the same.
- "Kapaz" was looking at "Karvan-Yevlakh" with three points in mind. The result was the opposite. Do you think you were able to surprise the football community?
- I don't think that "Kapaz" can easily get those points from us. Because we have a quality team. The quality of our team will also improve from game to game. We will try to play better.
- How is your adaptation period to Azerbaijan, the Premier League, and Yevlakh going?
- Based on my experience, I say that these results will get better from game to game.
- In the next rounds, you will be rivals against your brothers' teams. Are you looking forward to these moments?
- Of course, we are waiting for this. I have talked to them about it. We are having discussions. We have conversations about who is strong, who is weak, and in general. Of course, we are brothers in addition to competition and football. It is possible to express an opinion about these matches after the games in the next games.
- All three of you wear the number 20 jersey. Leroy Mikels was also number 20 in "Shamakhi" last season, and Lens is number 20 in "Sabah"...
- My first experience started with this number. After I took this number for myself, my brothers also took these numbers for themselves.
