"We started preparing on July 21. We are continuing as we want. We have had three test matches. We faced "Shimal", "Jabrayil" and "Neftchi-2"." These words were said to Sport24.az by Elgiz Keremli, the head coach of "Shafa", a representative of the I League.
He announced that training camps will be held in Gabala from August 20-28.
"Test matches are also planned there. We will face MOIK, a representative of Kuwait. The other one has not been clarified yet. The team is currently being completed. We have new transfers. It is a little difficult for us to adapt them. We have involved Urfan Ismayilov from "Gabala" and Amir Ibrahimzadeh from Southern Azerbaijan in the team. I hope they will add strength to our strength."
The expert added that they have finished the transfer works: "If it is at the level we want, we can sign a contract with a striker".
Elgiz Keremli also touched upon the news spread in the press that Javid Huseynov will be appointed as the head coach of "Shafa": "There was no such conversation. I just signed the contract. If there was such a plan, why would they sign a contract with me? Our goal is to qualify for the Premier League. We can review the contract after we succeed. "Shafa" is a team that plays for the championship in the I League. Everyone would want to be the head coach here. The names of other coaches besides Javid Huseynov are also mentioned in the press. But I specifically say that it is empty talk."
