Toral Bayramov's transfer from "Qarabag" to "Bursaspor", which plays in the Turkish First League, does not seem good.
Idman.Biz reports that this was said by Rail Malikov, a former football player of the Azerbaijani national team.
In his statement to Report, he noted that the competition in the Turkish First League is very tough:
"Bursaspor" is a fundamental team. They were the champions of the Turkish Super League. Most likely, they are making good transfers because they are playing to get to the Super League. You cannot look at the First League easily. Compared to the Azerbaijan Premier League, there is a tough environment there. If one team – "Qarabag" – has been superior to everyone for many years, there 5-6 clubs are fighting to rise to the Super League. Also, the stadiums, infrastructure and conditions are more modern. You have to travel long distances for away games. In addition, more emphasis is placed on power football in the tournament. Teams in the lower ranks play very hard to stay in the league. For this reason, Toral Bayramov is facing a tougher test than our championship".
The former defender, who once wore the "Denizlispor" uniform, does not positively evaluate Toral Bayramov's departure from "Qarabag" to a lower league:
When I was the captain of "Neftchi", I had to go to the First League. Because the "transfer window" in Azerbaijan closed 2 days earlier and I had no other choice. In addition to "Denizlispor", "Konyaspor" also sent an offer from Turkey. But there is no such obligation for Toral. He is one of the leading figures of both "Qarabag" and the national team, a universal football player who can play in different positions. It would be better for him to consider the offers of Super League clubs. It does not seem good to go to the First League from a big and hegemonic team like "Qarabag". "Bursaspor" is a fundamental and once champion club, but it would be better to learn from Toral why he made this decision".
Rail Malikov added that it will not be easy for Toral Bayramov to always get a chance in his new team:
"Let no one think that he will appear on the field in every match as soon as he goes there. Competition in Turkish football is very tough. If you prove yourself, you will play, otherwise you will sit on the bench. There they don't look at where the football player came from and his past successes. I hope that certain nuances were taken into account in the contract. I wish Toral success in his future career".
It should be reminded that Toral Bayramov, who left "Qarabag", signed a 3-year contract with "Bursaspor".
