- You have been called "Neftchi" for 4 months now. How do you feel in the most established club of Azerbaijan?
- It is as if I have been wearing Neftchi's uniform for 4 years, not 4 months. Since the day I arrived, I feel the greatness of the club.
- Were you able to fully adapt to the team and the city?
- The warm attitude of the club president, coaches and other employees of the club towards me made it very easy for me to adapt. I feel at home. I wish to discover the historical sites of this beautiful city, which I could not visit due to the pandemic, as soon as possible. In particular, I want to see Karabakh liberated from occupation.
- Due to the pandemic, the games are held without fans. That's why you haven't seen Neftchi fans yet. Do they write and contact you?
- My biggest regret is not playing in front of this huge army of fans. When Neftchi became interested in me, I started watching videos of the fans. It excited me a lot. Our fans support me a lot through social networks, so I am very grateful to them.
- During this period, you have made a convincing impression in 6 championship games. Are you not afraid to compete with more experienced players in the defensive line?
- I try hard to play better every match and be useful to my team. Experienced players always support me.
- The training camp is underway. How is the gathering going?
- Preparations are going well, we are training very well. I am looking forward to the start of the championship.
- In preparation, you played two test matches and in both of them you were in the starting lineup. Are you satisfied with your game, your current form?
- I always want to play better. My goals are big. That's why I work hard.
- An official match with Sabail is coming. What do you expect from that game?
- A big team like Neftchi, regardless of the identity of the opponent, goes out to win every match. All members of the team want to win every game and become champions.
- You are a member of the U-21 national team of Azerbaijan. In addition, in November last year, you were invited to the camp of the main national team for the first time. Even if you do not appear, this invitation means that you attract the attention of the national team's coaching staff. Do you think you will be called up to the national team again?
- My biggest dream is to play in the main national team. I want to represent the people of Azerbaijan at the highest level. I hope to be invited to the main national team again and to successfully sweat this sacred uniform for many years.
