Azerbaijani futsal expert Elnur Gambarov, who currently lives in Toronto, Canada, highly praised the transfer of national team striker Nariman Akhundzadeh to the US club Columbus Crew.
The coach emphasized that this transition is important for both the football player and the country's sports.
"I consider Nariman's arrival in MLS a great success for all of us. World-class stars perform here, and his presence in such an environment is very important for the recognition of Azerbaijani football. I don't understand some fans' negative attitude towards this transfer, considering it a low-level league. The budgets of the clubs here are quite high, and players worth 4, 5, 6, or even 8 million dollars play here. Zlatan Ibrahimovic once played in MLS. Currently, a football player like Messi plays in the championship. Also, many famous football players have come to MLS and then played again in Europe's giant clubs," he said in his statement to report.az.
E. Gambarov noted that he believes in the player's future prospects:
"Nariman is a young and talented player, he has a bright future. His actions and the goal he scored in the match with Braga are still in our memories. I hope he will come and show himself here as well. When I come to the game with Toronto, I will personally go and support him with the Azerbaijani flag."
It should be noted that Nariman Akhundzadeh's contract with Columbus Crew is valid until the summer of 2029.
