An interview of "Sabail"'s head coach Elvin Mammadov to futbolinfo.az
– "Sabail" started the First League with a victory. How would you comment on the victory over "Mingachevir", one of your main rivals?
– First of all, I would like to thank the kids for winning, they worked hard and finally left the field with 3 points. We told the players that Ramiz Mammadov had built a fighting team and that the opponent would fight for every inch of the field. The kids showed a very eager game. Thank God we started the season with a victory.
– Most of "Sabail"'s players are footballers with Premier League experience. Can it be said that you have fully staffed the team as you wanted? Or would you like to attract a few more experienced local and foreign players?
– We are currently in talks with several other players. If it works out, both new local and foreign players will come to our team.
– Next tour you will be a guest of "Difai". Will you be able to win in this meeting as well?
– A away game awaits us. Every away match is difficult. We will prepare for this game with maximum concentration. Hopefully, we will achieve our desire to win.
– Which teams can hinder "Sabail", which aims to win the championship and return to the Premier League, on this path? Which rivals are you most afraid of, who do you think are strong enough to fight for the championship with you until the end?
– We have to work very hard to become champions, we are all aware of this. We understand that we must treat every opponent with respect. For this reason, I do not want to single out anyone in particular. We take all opponents seriously.
– What is the main thing that worries you in the First League as a coach?
– I am only worried about the stadium factor. The condition of some fields is very bad.
– As a former football player of the national team, how would you comment on our team taking points from Ukraine (1:1)? In your opinion, who should be given a chance in the currently vacant head coach position of the national team?
– A draw with Ukraine, 1 point taken from such an opponent after recent defeats was an excellent result. As for the issue of the national team's head coach, each of the local specialists deserves that place.
