"In my opinion, it was not a wrong step".
Azerbaijani national team defender Sertan Taskin, who plays for Turkish First League representative "Serik Belediyespor", said in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
We present that interview:
– What is the reason for getting little chance on the field in recent games?
– I joined the team a little late, there were some reasons. Frankly, I don't know exactly why I get so little chance. This is the decision of our head coach. I'm just trying to do my best. I believe that I will get more chances in the future.
– Your team is currently ranked 10th in the tournament table. What can you say about your current position?
– If you look at the tournament table, you will see that the situation is very tight. There is only a 4-point difference between 17th place and 10th place. This does not satisfy us, we want to be in higher positions.
– According to press reports, head coach Sergey Yuran will leave. How can this situation affect your career?
– I am a professional football player. My job is to fulfill the tasks given by the head coach on the field. No matter who it is, it doesn't matter. The remaining issues do not interest me.
– There are even allegations that there are conflicts between Turkish and Russian players in the team. How true is this news, and if so, what is the reason for the tension?
– There is no such thing. There may be certain disagreements in every team, but this is not between Turks and Russians. These are normal situations in football in general.
– Your career in "Sumgayit" was not going badly. Do you think your transfer to "Serik Belediyespor" in the summer was a wrong move? If there is an offer, would you consider returning to Azerbaijan again?
– In my opinion, it was not a wrong step. I am a football player, if there is an offer where I will be valued, why shouldn't I return?
– You have not been invited to the recent games of the Azerbaijani national team. What do you think is the reason for this? Do you agree that your current performance is weaker than before?
– The reason why I am not invited now is probably because I am not playing. If I perform steadily, I believe that I will be invited again. I don't know why I wasn't called before.
– Aykhan Abbasov has been appointed as the new head coach of our national team. Did you watch the games with France and Ukraine?
– I congratulate Aykhan muallim. I also watched the games. Aykhan Abbasov is a coach who can restore self-confidence and motivate football players. He believes in all his players, regardless of who they are. The most important thing for a football player is that the head coach trusts him. Therefore, we see a combative and confident team on the field.
