Interview with Sadiq Shafiyev, the striker of "Turan Tovuz", to futbolinfo.az
– How was the training camp in Turkey? What can you say about the test matches and the overall preparation process?
– The training camp went very well. As a team, we prepared seriously both physically and tactically. We tested our strength in test matches. We tried to show ourselves in a good light both in training and in games.
– How will the changes in the squad affect the team? Which of the new transfers surprised you the most with their potential?
– The changes in the squad can bring a new breath to the team. New transfers are very important for our team. I don't want to single out anyone in particular. Each of them is a high-quality and experienced player in their position.
– You will face "Imishli" in the first round of the 2025/2026 season of the national championship. Will you be able to start the new season with a victory?
– Our team is fully ready to start the new season with a victory. We know that the first game will be difficult, but we believe in our strength. We will do our best to make our fans happy.
– You failed to qualify for European cups at the end of last season. Do you think the team will be able to cope with this mission in the new season?
– Unfortunately, we could not qualify for European cups at the end of last season. However, this season we will do more to qualify for European cups. I believe that we will be able to cope with this task.
– What goal have you set for yourself individually in the new season? Do you believe that you will get more playing time?
– I work hard on myself in training. I want it to be a successful season both individually and as a team. Of course, one of my wishes is to get more playing time. I believe I will achieve this.
– Currently, work is underway to replace the grass cover at the Tovuz city stadium. The process of laying natural grass cover will be completed by the end of October. Will the transition from artificial turf to natural turf have a significant positive impact on the performance of "Turan Tovuz"?
– Of course, it will have an impact. I think we will show better games after switching to natural grass cover.
