"The level of the Azerbaijan championship is not low, we witnessed an interesting and intense season."
This was stated by Sumgayit midfielder Nikola Ninkovic during an interview with qol.az.
We present that interview.
- You lost to Qarabag (3:4) in a tense game in the last round of the championship. What can you say about the match?
- It was a good game. It was the last match of the season. The main thing is that no one was injured. We finished the season without injuries or problems. It was an interesting match. We watched a lot of goals. After that, we should think about rest.
- Do you agree that the season was unsuccessful for Sumgayit?
- We started the championship well. We had a very good first part of the season. But after the winter break, we went down a bit. We were also unlucky in some matches. We gathered near the end, but it was too late. We had lost our chances for European cups.
- Will we be able to see you in Sumgayit next season?
- We will have a conversation with the club management. Therefore, I cannot give a definite opinion now. We will talk about this with both the club president and the club manager.
- How do you assess the level of the Azerbaijan championship?
- I liked the league. The level of the Azerbaijan championship is not low at all. We witnessed an interesting and intense season.
- Many people associate the high level with the abolition of the legionnaire limit. Do you also think so?
- I think it's good that there is no limit. This increases the level of the championship. Qarabag achieved excellent results in the Champions League. I think the absence of a limit also played a role in this.
