Hiqor Gabriel, former defender of "Sabah" and currently playing for the "Navbahor" club in Uzbekistan, gave an interview to Sportal.az.
- How is everything going in Uzbekistan?
- Everything is fine. Of course, we are constantly working to make it even better. We are currently in 7th place in the championship. But we are only 6 points behind the leader. The point difference between the teams is not very big.
- Interestingly, have you received any offers from Azerbaijani clubs lately?
- No. I have not received any offers from Azerbaijani clubs. I am now focused on my career in Uzbekistan.
- Do you follow the performance of your former team, "Sabah" now?
- Of course, I played in this team and occasionally look at the results. But honestly, I don't watch the games.
- In any case, you probably know about "Sabah"'s ambitions. Do you think they will be able to become champions this season?
- Yes, I know that the club is ambitious. But I can't say anything about whether they will become champions or not. I don't follow Azerbaijani football very closely.
- You have information about the Azerbaijani and Uzbek leagues. Which championship do you consider stronger?
- Yes, I can compare. I am sorry that I played little in Azerbaijan. But I play more in Uzbekistan. In my opinion, I am even stronger here.
- As far as I know, Dani Bolt, the new transfer of "Qarabağ", is a former teammate, you played with him in "Fluminense"....
- Yes, yes. We played with Bolt, we know each other well.
- What do you think, can he become the new star of "Qarabağ"?
- It depends on Bolt himself. I can only say good things about him. Dani is a special player and can perform at his best. I congratulate him and wish him success.
- Is it realistic to return to Azerbaijan again?
- Of course, it is possible. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. I am currently focused on my career at Navbahor.
