"We prepared seriously for the cup match."
These words were said by Zira's football player Eren Aydın.
The striker, who stood out in the match with Turan-Tovuz in the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup, evaluated his team's chances of reaching the final as follows.
"I am happy to have scored a goal. Both teams fought very well. We did our best to achieve a successful result. Although we won with a score of 2:0, we understand that everything does not end there. We have a second match ahead of us. We want to prepare for the next game in the best possible way and reach the final," he said in a statement to offsideplus.az.
The football player, who joined Zira in February, emphasized that he easily adapted to the team:
"Azerbaijan and Turkey are brotherly countries. I adapted here very quickly. I feel like I'm in Istanbul. Everyone can speak Turkish and I can easily build relationships with people. I adapted to the team very quickly. Head coach Rashad Sadigov also gave great support. We get along well with him. I am grateful to him for his support. Rashad Sadigov is like a father to me."
It should be noted that the 22-year-old striker, who is a "Galatasaray" graduate, previously played for Turkish clubs "Niğde Anadolu", "Sarıyer", "Çorum", "Boluspor" and Ukrainian club "Veres".
