"We have been in first place from the beginning of the season until now. We want it to continue like this until the end of the season."
These words were said by Tarlan Guliyev, a "Shafa" football player.
The experienced defender, the team captain, shared his thoughts on the past 19 rounds.
"I don't think there has ever been a case in the First League where a team has been in first place from the beginning to the end and finished the championship undefeated. We have a good team. I don't know how true the information is that head coach Elgiz Keremli will leave the team and be replaced by Aftandil Hajiyev. What Elgiz muellim has done for the team is obvious. As far as I know, if the team becomes champion, the contract of the head coach and his assistants is automatically renewed. We came to the team in the middle of last season. We haven't lost since then. This is a great indicator. In the Premier League, a team like "Qarabağ" loses to "Kapaz". That is, defeats are inevitable in football," he said in his statement to sport24.az.
Note that after this result, "Shafa" continues to lead the First League with 45 points.
