An interview with Ehtiram Guliyev, Chairman of the Board of "Turan Tovuz", to Futbolxeber.az
- Your team won 1:0 against "Neftchi" away. How would you comment on the match?
- It was an interesting and difficult game. It seems that our championship will be very difficult this season. Our team is not fully ready yet. As you know, some players joined the team later. Now, the break in the championship due to the national team games was very good for us. We must use it effectively. I believe that after the break we will see a better, more cheerful "Turan Tovuz" playing football.
- 6 points in 3 games. How do you rate the start?
- Very good. All three games were difficult. In the first round, we played with "Imishli" on artificial turf. "Araz-Nakhchivan" and "Neftchi" are also ambitious and strong teams. Therefore, we are satisfied with the result in the first 3 rounds.
- The transfer window is not over yet. Are you thinking of strengthening?
- Our search continues. We plan to realize 3 transfers if possible, and a minimum of 2. We are currently in a difficult stage. But our negotiations are ongoing.
- Your setting a championship goal for the team was a bit unexpected...
- First of all, the players, and then our fans should be ready for this. The spirit of Turan is great, I want to bring this spirit back to the team. That's why I wanted to set a championship goal for the team. I see this potential, I believe in the team. When we say championship, it means playing for the championship, being in a competitive position until the last rounds. I understand it's difficult, but I repeat, I trust my team. We are slowly trying to convince the players and fans of this.
- Will this put pressure on the team?
- No, it won't. The mountains will make way for a person who knows where he is going. Therefore, the destination must be known. The players already feel this.
- The championship is the maximum goal. I guess the minimum goal would be a ticket to the European Cups. Is that right?
- We want the maximum right now. We are not thinking about the minimum.
- What is the latest situation at the Tovuz stadium?
- It's good. If everything goes according to plan, the work should be completed in the second half of October.
- "Qarabag" qualified for the League stage of the Champions League. What is your attitude to this?
- "Qarabag" is our pride. It represents Azerbaijan properly in Europe. We wish you success. I am hopeful, I believe that they will also make us happy in the League stage.
