Tarlan Ahmadov: "Foreign players are low-level, there is no opponent for "Qarabağ"

"The first 6 teams in the tournament table are fighting for the championship. The problem is that "Qarabağ" has no visible opponent in the competition. Although the foreign player limit has been abolished, the level of foreigners invited by most clubs is low." These words were said by Tarlan Ahmadov in his statement to Sport24.az.

The experienced expert commented on the first round of the Misli Premier League:

"Except for "Qarabağ", the games of other teams do not give hope that they will become champions. The abolition of the foreign player limit did not make our championship interesting. After the first round of the season, it became clear that the fight to stay in the elite will be between "Kapaz", "Gabala" and "Karvan-Yevlax". "Imishli" was able to surprise everyone in terms of game and results. "Sumgayit" has achieved results, but to be honest, the team does not show the potential to be among the prize-winners. According to their squads, my expectations from "Araz-Nakhchivan" and "Neftchi" were higher, but there is nothing in their games that can be called "beautiful football". If the teams cannot demonstrate the desired football in the current situation, they will go to European cups and be defeated in the first stage. As I said, the potential of the invited foreign players is not so high that they can produce results. Football players should be attracted from academies. In each round, we witness a match that deserves maximum interest. After the first round, we can say that we are watching a mediocre championship."

It should be noted that one game of the first round - Sabah" - "Qarabağ match has been postponed.
