"It is a proud feeling to become a champion in the First League and qualify for the elite." These words were said by Elgiz Keremli, the head coach of "Shafa", which qualified for the I League, in his statement to Sport24.az.
The specialist shared his impressions of his team's championship:
"I thank everyone who contributed to the championship. The season was successful for us. We took the first place from the first round and finally reached our goal. Overall, the championship was intense. Because the teams have become stronger in terms of quality. The main reason for this is the transfer of a large number of players from the Premier League to the First League and the transfer of more quality foreign players by the clubs. The main thing in a long marathon is to be able to maintain stability. If we have maintained our leadership from the first round, it means that we have been able to do our job better. What will be our goal in the Premier League? No specific decision has been made about this yet. The management was waiting for the championship to be formalized. Probably, from today onwards, there will be discussions about the next season."
It should be noted that "Shafa" overtook its closest follower "Sabail" 1 round before the end and formalized its championship. Thus, the team qualified for the Misli Premier League.
