Interview with Mehdi Jannatov, goalkeeper of "Sumgayit," for Sport24.ax

- How is the team preparing for the new season?

- ⁠Preparation is ongoing as usual. Training camp has been going on for three weeks now. The first gathering is always difficult because everyone is returning from vacation. We need to build up some strength to be ready for the championship.

- You drew goalless with "Imishli" in a test match. What can you say about this match?

- The result is not so important. It is important to gain match practice and tone. We were working on several combinations. I think it will get better with each match.

- Sumgayit" has been working under the leadership of the new head coach Sasa Ilic for several weeks now. What are your initial impressions of this specialist?

- ⁠It was very interesting to meet him. He had a very good football career. The team will bring its vision. I think Sasa Ilic can give a lot to the club and every player.

- The draw for the season in the Premier League has been made. "Sumgayit" will face ambitious teams like "Qarabağ" and "Neftchi" in the first five rounds. Will this create difficulties for you?

- I didn't even think about it. We will play with every team sooner or later anyway. Regardless of the opponent, we must go out and apply our football.

- What do you think should be the main goal of "Sumgayit" in the 2025/2026 season?

- ⁠The thing is, it is very important who and when players will come to our club. Transfers will be carried out. Because the team is not complete yet.
