Interview of "Sabail" defender Sabayil Bagirov to futbolinfo.az
– There is half a month left until the start of the new season in the I League. How is the preparation process going? Is "Sabail" fully ready for the new season?
– The preparation process is going as we planned. We are working seriously on physical and tactical aspects. We have played several test matches and will have meetings in the coming days to increase our game practice. It is too early to say "We are 100 percent ready." But I believe that we will be fully ready by the start.
– You will host "Mingachevir" in the first round. Will you be able to start the I League with a victory?
– The first games are always difficult because it is not possible to fully know how the opponent is preparing. We will try to show our game. Our goal is to start the season with a victory and I believe that we will be able to do it.
– Has "Sabail" set a specific goal of winning the I League championship, or is the goal to return to the Premier League even without the championship?
– The main goal is to return to the Premier League. But of course, the championship is an additional motivation for every football player. We will fight for the maximum result.
– Which teams do you consider to be your main competitors among the I League representatives?
– There will be very strong competition this season. There are many well-assembled teams and the championship will not be easy. We will try to be as attentive as possible in every match and show our game.
– "Sabail" has gathered a large number of players with Premier League experience. Will this be enough for the team to perform successfully?
– Having players with Premier League experience is a great advantage. They play an important role both on the field and within the team. But experience alone is not enough, everyone must work at the maximum level and show it on the field.
– You have experience in both the Premier League and the I League. You also experienced the I League championship as part of "Shamakhi". Will playing in the I League again after playing in the Premier League for 1 year set you back?
– The main thing for me is to play constantly and be useful to my team. Gaining experience in both leagues is an advantage for a football player. On the contrary, this gives me more responsibility. Because the goal is not only to stay in the I League, but to help the team return to the Premier League.
