An interview with apasport.az by Mirabdulla Abbasov, the former forward of the Azerbaijani national team, who moved to the Kyrgyz club "Abdysh-Ata"
- How are things going in Kyrgyzstan? Is there anything that is boring for you?
- Everything is normal. No, it's not actually boring. I'm staying in the capital. Our training stadiums are also close. Everything is to my liking.
- How would you compare the Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan championships?
- It's a little difficult to compare. There is more competition here. Of course, they don't have a team like "Qarabağ". But there are many teams at the same level. Therefore, the Kyrgyzstan championship is interesting. If you look at the tournament table, you will see that 6 teams have a chance to win the championship. In general, I am satisfied with the level of the league. I am satisfied with everything and it is to my liking.
- In the last round, an "Azerbaijan derby" almost took place in Kyrgyzstan. You faced the "Ozgon" club, which Orkhan Aliyev and Dmitri Nagiyev play for. What were the feelings like?
- Of course, considering that we are away from our country, it is very gratifying to see familiar faces. It was a very difficult game, I am very happy for the guys that both Orkhan Aliyev and Dmitri Nagiyev have become leading players of the team. Moreover, in a short time.
- So, were you satisfied with the result?
- In the first round, the match ended with our team winning 5:2. In this game, despite the fact that the opponent fought with 10 players from the 2nd minute, we won a very difficult victory. True, to some extent our team did not look like itself on the field. There was also a referee factor. It gave the impression that since he gave the opponent a red card in the first minute, his decisions were against our team in every episode. The opposing goalkeeper knocked me down when the score was 0:0, the episode was unequivocally, 100 percent a penalty. If you watch the replay, you can see for yourself. In any case, I would like to congratulate my teammates for the determination we showed.
- By the way, "Neftçi", of which you are a graduate, is ambitious this season. Do you think they will win the championship?
- "Neftçi" always has a special place in my heart. I believe that they will have a successful season and take the team to the places it deserves. I sincerely wish "Neftçi" to win the championship. I believe that "Neftçi" will be able to repeat the success it has already achieved once with Samir Abasov. Good luck to the "Neftçi" family.
