Shahriyar Aliyev, a football player of "Turan Tovuz", gave an interview to Futbolpress.az. We present that interview:
– You didn't get a chance in the game you won against "Kapaz". Is this due to an injury, or how?
– It is the head coach's decision. I don't have an injury.
– Are you losing to other defenders in the competition?
– I don't think I'm losing in the competition. It is the head coach's decision. I have not shied away from competition, I have fought to the end. I have now returned after being injured for a long time. If there is a chance, I am ready to play. I know myself, my strength, I am not afraid of competition.
– You are the leader after 6 rounds. Will it be possible to stay on top?
– We are first in the tournament table, God willing, it will continue. It is difficult to stay in the top ranks. There is too much competition here. God willing, we can stay here until the end of the season. We will do our best.
– After the defeat to "Sabah" (0:2), there was serious criticism of the team. Although you won against "Kapaz", the opponent's situation is obvious. Do you not feel that your game has declined compared to last season?
– It's the beginning of the season. We have players who have left and new players who have arrived. The return of the injured and the adaptation of the new players is a time-consuming process. We will get better over time. We will try to make our fans happy.
– Before the season, the club manager said that the goal was to win the championship. How realistic does it seem to achieve the goal?
– Our points are good, we have only lost in 2 games. It is the beginning of the championship and there is a long marathon ahead. It will be a tough competition. We will try to be in the top ranks. The reality is that many teams are fighting for these positions. We will try to achieve our goals and go to the European Cups.
