Emin Zamanov, the former football player of "Neftchi", currently playing for "Shafa" club, gave an interview to Sport24.az.
- You have been playing for this team since last year. What was the main factor in making this decision?
- I think that the club's thoughts, goals, and plans for the future played a big role here. I have been in this team since last season. I am happy that I made this decision now.
- How do you assess your performance in the team?
- I don't think it would be right for me to say something about it. The coaching staff knows better.
- Are you satisfied with your role in the team?
- Of course, I am satisfied. I play regularly. I am trying to benefit the club.
- Let's go back a little and talk about your career. What was the most difficult period for you?
- Every period in my career has its own difficulties. I have tried to learn new things in every difficulty. I think that each of them helped me at different times. But if I have to name a specific club, I can say when I was in military service in MOIK.
- You were considered one of the talented football players at a younger age. What do you think prevented your career from being brilliant?
- I also had some mistakes. Even the fact that incorrect steps were taken against me affected this. But I can say that my own mistakes were the main reason.
- How do you remember the years you spent in "Neftchi"?
- I gained a lot of experience while I was in the "Neftchi" team. These are still helping me now.
- You are 28 years old now. What is your career plan?
- Currently, my main goal is to become the champion in the First League with "Shafa" and win a ticket to the Premier League. Allah knows best. I hope I can achieve this.
- I guess the championship will not be easy. Who is your most realistic rival in the First League?
- We are working with all our strength for the championship. All teams in the First League are worthy of respect. Each has its own advantages and approaches.
