Azerbaijani footballer Orkhan Aliyev, who plays for the Kyrgyz club "Ozgon", gave an interview to Sport24.az.
- How are things going at the club?
- The season is over in Kyrgyzstan. The championship is already over. I am currently in Baku. I am resting.
- You moved to this team in the summer. How do you rate your performance?
- I think it's good. I scored 7 goals in 9 matches. I also have 1 assist. But I think it could have been better.
- The Kyrgyz club "Abdysh-Ata" parted ways with Azerbaijani footballers Ilkin Muradov and Mirabdulla Abbasov. Have you spoken to them?
- No. I haven't talked to them about this.
- What is the situation with you? Will you sign a new contract with the club?
- They have offered me a new contract. I am currently on vacation. I will make a decision soon.
- 7 goals and 1 assist in 9 games is not bad. Why do you think you didn't get an invitation to the national team?
- My league is not given much importance. But despite this, we must continue our work.
- Were you expecting an offer when Aykhan Abbasov was appointed head coach?
- I know Aykhan Abbasov well. Let's wait... Time will tell. Maybe I'll get an invitation. Even if he doesn't call, I will do my job.
- Do you think you would have received an invitation if you played in the Azerbaijan Premier League?
- Maybe. Because Aykhan muellim watches all the players.
- What is the level of the championship you are playing in?
- Not bad. There is development, stadiums are being built. There are also quality players.
