Yegor Khvalko: "I didn't receive an official offer from Azerbaijan, we were fighting to stay in the league there"

Kazakhstan's "Tobol" club footballer Yegor Khvalko gave an interview to Sportal.az.

- How did the transfer to "Tobol" happen? When did you receive an offer from the Kostanay club?

- A Belarusian agent called me and said that there was such an option. I agreed. We signed a contract with "Tobol" in two days.

- Was there no possibility of staying in Azerbaijan? It was said that "Sumgayit" was interested in you, and you could stay in "Kapaz"...

- No club from Azerbaijan made me an official contract offer.

- Didn't you stay at "Kapaz" yourself, or did Adil Shukurov not want you?

- I don't know who didn't want to see me in the team. Was it the management or the coach... I would like to continue playing for "Kapaz".

- "Kapaz" lost in the first two rounds. They didn't look very good. Do you think "Kapaz" will be able to stay in the Premier League this season? Why does "Kapaz" fight to stay in the Premier League at best every season?

- I think they can do it. It's just that these are not the tasks that the new management said when we were in the team before. It was clear that it was difficult to sign higher-level players with the lowest budget.

- You have already played 2 games in the Kazakhstan championship as part of "Tobol". Do you think there is a big difference between the Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan championships?

- I can't answer this question right now. Because I have only played 2 games. You understand, we were a team playing to stay in the league in Azerbaijan. All opponents were difficult for us. But now I am playing in a team with completely opposite tasks, we are one of the leaders of the championship. Therefore, the games are held in a different direction. I think I will be able to answer this question at the end of the season.
