Mahir Emreli: First impressions at "Kaiserslautern", reasons for the transfer, and hopes for promotion to the Bundesliga - INTERVIEW

An interview with Mahir Emreli, the football player of the Azerbaijani national team and the German club "Kaiserslautern", to "Report"

- First of all, we would like to get your opinion about your transfer to "Kaiserslautern". What are your initial impressions?

- My first days here are really great. I am slowly trying to adapt to the players in the team. I am happy to be in this team. I can't wait to play in the stadium again. I think it is one of the most beautiful and interesting atmospheres in the world. Playing in this arena gives pleasure to every football player and makes them love their job even more.

- We know that you had many offers. What was the main reason for choosing "Kaiserslautern"?

- They worked harder and made more efforts to include me in their squad. They were able to convince me in every way. I also thought that my transfer to this club would be the right step.

- Is it difficult for you to adapt to the team?

- I'm still new to the squad. I am slowly getting to know the players. But everyone here is friendly. Since the city is small, there is a family atmosphere inside the club. I think that I will be able to adapt even more over time.

- You have already scored in two test matches for the team. What can you say about this?

- Although we distinguished ourselves in the games, we are far from optimal form. I had only been to two trainings since the day I arrived. Then we played test matches. Shortcomings are felt. But there are 5-6 weeks until the start of the season. During this time, we will restore full form and play better. Scoring goals is important for motivation. At this point, there are other factors to pay attention to and we need to focus on them.

- What are your team's goals for the next season?

- "Kaiserslautern" always wants to achieve better results. We hope to qualify for the Bundesliga. That is our goal. But as I said, II Bundesliga is an unpredictable tournament. It is impossible to say now how it will be. We will try to win game after game. We want to do our best to get the team promoted to the Bundesliga.

- You already have experience in II Bundesliga. Last season you scored 11 goals for "Nurnberg". Will we be able to see you among the top scorers this time?

- It would be better if we qualified for the Bundesliga than if I was on the list of top scorers. But why not? I know the league, I have adapted. I am in a new team and it is time to settle here. I think more about how I can be useful to my team than about being a top scorer.
