"It is a great honor for me to play in this club and be a part of it."
This was stated by Sabah's midfielder Umarali Rakhmonaliyev in an interview with sport24.az.
We present that interview.
- What can you say about Sabah's first championship?
- We congratulate our club and fans on this success. It is a great honor for me to play in this club and be a part of it. Not counting Neftchi's championship in 2021, Qarabag dominated the Azerbaijani championship for 11 years. We feel good. We deserved this success.
- Is this your first championship?
- Yes, except for winning the FNL with Rubin (1st League). I have never won in the elite.
- Have you received a lot of calls from Uzbekistan?
- Yes, everyone congratulates us. Even my former coaches and teammates. As always, family friends and family members were not left out either.
- The cup final is coming up. What do you think?
- That's why we don't celebrate the Premier League victory so much (laughs), because there is another final ahead. We have to prepare. Then the season will be over for us.
- There are Champions League matches ahead. Are you excited?
- I have never played in the Champions League. It would be a great honor for me to play in this tournament, even in the qualifying round. We have a good team, coaching staff and atmosphere. We have to achieve results there too. I don't want to talk too much ahead of time, but we have to say our thoughts on the field.
