An interview with Coy-Slide Mickels, the German striker of "Karvan-Yevlakh," for Sportinfo.az
- You managed to win against "Kapaz" in the second round of the Premier League. What are your thoughts on 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 air in Gabala. I mean the environment. It is altitude. We had some difficulties with that. But as time passed, we overcame that as well. 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 occasion for me. It's my first goal for "Karvan." I am proud of my team. We will continue these games. We are trying to achieve successful results.
- Last round you played on an artificial turf field in Shamakhi, this time on a natural turf field in Gabala. What are your thoughts on 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 game is played one way on natural grass, and another way on artificial turf. It's 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 surprised the football community?
- I don't think that "Kapaz" can easily take those points from us. Because we have a quality team. And the quality of our team will 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 improve 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 it. I have also spoken to them about this. We have discussions. We talk about who is strong, who is weak, and overall. Of course, we are brothers in addition to competition and football. It is possible to express opinions about this after the games.
- All three of you wear the number 20 jersey. Leroy Mickels 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.
