We present this interview.

- In the last round of the season, you defeated "Sumgayit" with a score of 4:3. How would you comment on the victory?

- In my opinion, it was one of the most interesting games of the season. The squad wasn't complete. Nevertheless, it was a good experience for our youth as well. They were able to show themselves in a good light.

- How does losing the title affect "Qarabağ", the undisputed champion of recent years?

- True, we couldn't become champions, but we are going to the Europa League. We will do our best to make our fans happy again. I also thank the journalists. It was a tough season for you too.

- Overall, considering that you advanced to the Champions League play-offs, can the season be considered successful for "Qarabağ"?

- I don't think it was unsuccessful. I congratulate "Sabah" on their championship. It was their fate this year. There's no guarantee we'll be champions every year. We will prepare for the next season.

- You will play in the Europa League. Can the fans expect "Qarabağ" to perform even better in the European Cups than this year?

- Our playing in the Champions League play-offs this season is no guarantee that we will perform better in the Europa League. We will do our best, we will fight. We will try to go as far as possible.

- Is there an increase in the level of the Premier League?

- I think it was an interesting and tense season.

- How did the abolition of the legionnaire limit generally affect local football players?

- It would not be right for me to express a broad opinion on this. I can only say that whoever was stronger, played.
