An interview with Bahruz Teymurov, who left "Karvan", to Sport24.az
- What was the main reason for parting ways with the Yevlakh representative?
- They didn't give me the money I wanted. I didn't agree either.
- Was the difference between the amount you wanted and the offer very large?
- Not really. The club offered me a salary of 2500 manats. I also had good options in the First League. They were offering good money too. I didn't agree to 2500 manats. But they promised that the salary would increase if they got a ticket to the Premier League after January. In that month, I received offers from "Gabala" and "Imishli". The finances were also good. They just deceived me. When the team reached the Premier League, they offered 2500. I didn't agree either. I also felt that the head coach (Red: Kenan Kerimov) didn't trust me. When there were offers from other teams, they also called him. He told me to go and earn my money in the First League. I was offended by this word. After that, our relations deteriorated and I did not agree.
- Do you have any offers now?
- Of course. But those clubs make empty promises. You go, you help, and then they send you away. Everything is until you reach the Premier League. After that, the players are sent off. They don't keep them. I have many offers. But I don't want to go.
- So where will you continue your career?
- At the "Khankendi" club, which won a ticket to the Second League. God is my witness that I did not go to this club to earn money. It's a false story. I am going to the person I have been friends and brothers with for more than 10 years. I don't even know how much I will earn there. There was no talk of money between us.
- You also had a hand in "Karvan"'s promotion to the Premier League. Couldn't the club agree with you?
- The whole of Yevlakh, the football community knows that I was the reason for reaching the Premier League. I brought most of the players to the team. My contribution to their reaching this situation is great. Kenan muellim, Zaur muellim know this very well. All the management and fans know it too. If I hadn't come, the team would not have been able to rise to the elite. But they ate my rights. I do not forgive them my rights. In the second half of the season, I had a good offer from "Gabala". I could have gone. I didn't leave the team in a bad situation. When they went to the Premier League, they said that the salary would increase and everything would be fine. They offered only 500 manats more than what I was getting in the First League. I didn't want to either.
- You also said that your relationship with head coach Kenan Kerimov deteriorated...
- He advised me to go to the First League. He said to earn good money there. "Shafa" offered 4500 manats. He said to help them. He probably said that because he didn't want to see me in the Premier League. He doesn't trust me. There is a good example: "Everything is until you cross the ditch". Then everyone changes. Kenan did the same. Not 100 percent, but 190 percent changed. I didn't expect that from him. He didn't stand behind us as a local. But I stood behind the team. It's football. I've seen everything in this field.
- What do you think will be the goals in "Khankendi"?
- I believe that the first goal is the First League, and then we can compete for the Premier League. That team has big goals. Some websites write that I went for money. But it's not like that. God is my witness. I don't even know how much salary I will get. I will just help them achieve their goals.
