"The level of the Kosovo championship is very good. Very dynamic football is played here."
This was said by our compatriot Elmir Taghiyev, who plays for the Kosovo club "Drenica", in an interview with apasport.az.
We present that interview:
- How are things going in Kosovo? You have already debuted in your new team...
- I am happy to have come to Kosovo. However, I had a slight injury when I came here. That's why I didn't play for a while. I'm fine now, I made my debut and I'm happy about it. Unfortunately, we lost that game. But I always do my best in training.
- Interestingly, another Azerbaijani football player, Yusif Imanov, was in the squad of the opponent you faced this week. Did you talk to him before or after the match?
- Yes, although Yusif did not appear on the field, his name was in the "23". We met and talked with him.
- Had you met Yusif before this game, or was it the first time? Do you think your team is stronger, or theirs?
- We met Yusif before the game as well. Since we live in Kosovo, we had the opportunity to meet. Their team also has a good squad. Actually, I believed that we would beat "Malisheva", but it didn't work out. They have already caught up with us, there is only a one-point difference left. In general, the level of clubs here is good.
- What can you say about the level of the league?
- The level of the Kosovo championship is very good. Very dynamic football is played here. Almost all teams show fast football. It's a really strong league.
- Have you been able to adapt to "Drenica" and Kosovo in general?
- I mainly go to training here, then I spend my time at home. Occasionally I meet with my teammates and spend time together. In any case, I can say that I have adapted.
- What is your daily life routine in Kosovo?
- I have been here for a month now. I was received very well in the team. I feel happy. I believe that I will slowly start playing more.
- "Drenica" is currently 4th in the championship. Do you have a chance to become a champion?
- Our team is really good. I believe that we can even become the Kosovo champion. We are working for this, we play to win in every game. I also want to give my best for the team. I hope that we will fight for the championship until the end. We have the strength for this because we have a good team.
