- It’s a good championship. The Azerbaijan Premier League is a competitive league. Everyone is battling against each other.
- You’re playing in the starting lineup. Have you adapted to the team?
- Yes, I’ve adapted. That's why I’m playing. I feel better now. The head coach also gives me the chance.
- In the second half of the match against Shamakhi, your performance declined. What happened?
- Yes, it was our mistake. If we had continued playing like we did in the first half, we would have won. I don't even know why it happened. In the second half, they started strong. We lost in the end.
- The team hasn't scored in 7 matches. What’s the issue?
- I don’t know. We’re trying, and we’ll continue working harder to play better.
- There have been Uzbeks playing in Azerbaijan before, and now you’re here alongside Umarali Rakhmonaliyev, who also plays for Sabah. How is your relationship with him?
- I played with Umarali in the Uzbekistan national team during the Olympic Games. So, we have a good relationship. He arrived in Azerbaijan not long ago. We played against Sabah, and we met and had a chat there.
