Joni Montiel is one of Qarabag's summer signings. Mikel Alvaro Salazar, his manager, played an important role in the player's move to the Aghdam club. Alvaro, who once lived in Azerbaijan as a foreign player, spoke about Montiel in an interview with Sportal.az.
- Do you believe that Montiel will be the new star of Qarabag?
- I believe that he can be a very important player for Qarabag. Because he has a very high-quality game performance. In addition, he has very strong shots. You will see everything in time.
- How did the transfer to Qarabag happen? Has the club been interested in him for a long time?
- Qarabag has been watching Montiel for several seasons. When I learned that Qarabag was looking for a player for this position, I contacted Joni and told him all the good things about the project and what life is like in Baku. He listened to me and agreed to sign a contract with Qarabag.
- What are Montiel's advantages?
- He has excellent quality for building relationships with teammates, excellent final passing, and impressive shots.
- Joni has played for clubs such as Rayo Vallecano, Deportivo, Levante, and Valladolid. Do you consider his move to Qarabag a step forward? I guess he preferred this choice because he wants to play in the Champions League?
- He has played for many clubs until he was 26 years old. Moreover, he debuted at a very young age. I consider his move to Qarabag a very important step in his career. I told him that too. He has joined a champion team that will play in Europe, and I hope it will be in the Champions League. This also means a lot to Joni.
- If Montiel proves himself, Qarabag will probably want more players from you? Is Montiel a test for your cooperation with Qarabag?
- It is very pleasant to work with Qarabag. They made everything very easy by giving us all the opportunities, and I hope this is the first of many deals between us.
