"Shimal", although the outsider of the championship, fights well with young players." These words were said by "Zagatala" football player Ilkin Girtimov in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced football player shared his thoughts on the game in which they defeated "Shimal" in the 9th round of the First League:
"Shimal" showed its strength in the game with "Sabail", which is in the leading group. If we had gone into the game confidently with them, the result would not have been pleasant for us. Fortunately, we scored our goals in time and won. After 9 rounds, we have 16 points. Of course, it could have been more. It is satisfactory for the current situation. If some issues are resolved in the winter, the team can fight for 1st or 2nd place."
It should be noted that "Zagatala", with 16 points in its asset after 9 rounds, is in 4th place.
