Interview with Huseynali Guliyev, the new transfer of "Imishli", to Futbolinfo.az
– Let's start with the last season. What reasons led to the departure of your former club "Sabail" from the Premier League?
– If a club leaves the top league, it means everyone is at fault. In other words, it is impossible to limit it to just certain people, everyone is to blame in this matter.
– What can you say about your transfer to "Imishli"? Did you have other offers? Why did you prefer this option?
– I had other options. But I wanted to move to a club where I could play more. I am happy to have signed with "Imishli".
– "Imishli" held its next test match against "Karvan-Yevlakh" as part of its preparations for the Premier League. What would you say about both this match (1:2) and the preparation process…
– True, we lost to "Karvan-Yevlakh", but this is the beginning of the preparation process. We still have things to fix. We believe that we will be able to eliminate the shortcomings before the start of the season.
– What will be "Imishli"'s goal in its first year back in the Premier League? What places is the team strong enough to fight for?
– We have not set a goal to take any particular place. But we ourselves will do our best to keep the team in good places. The club's goal is to benefit Azerbaijani football.
– The fact that the management of "Imishli" brought in Jorge Casquilha, a not-so-well-known specialist, instead of a local expert for the head coach position was not unambiguously accepted. What is your initial impression of him? What is his specialty as a coach?
– Every football player needs to approach this issue professionally. That is, we are not interested in what is written in the media about Jorge Casquilha. He is currently our team's coach and we must follow his instructions.
– Despite "Sabail"'s relegation from the Premier League, you were remembered last season for many critical saves. Will you be able to perform better in the new season as part of "Imishli"?
– I did my best on the field last season. God willing, this season I will give my best in every game I participate in and try to fix my shortcomings with individual training.
