Later, he defended the honor of Sivasspor, Boluspor, Mersin Idmanyurdu, Olimpik-Shuvalan, Qarabag, Gabala and Sumgayit, but today he is without football. Offsideplusa their employee Ilgar Gurbanov future plans, to learn about the current state of football in the country to open the call Firing also took up the theme of the conversation flow.
- You haven't heard from me for a long time. Where are you? What do you do?
- I am at home, I spend time with my family and children, I am interested in their education. I have some work to do. Just like everyone who doesn't play football, so do I.
- Why are you without football?
- I was left without football (laughs).
- Why?
- Probably, there is a need for those who have more services in football. Apparently, our service was not enough.
- Leaving Sumgayit in the summer seemed mysterious. The club did not want, or you did not agree to the terms?
- We could not reach a general agreement on both sides.
- For a salary?
- Comprehensive.
- Was there no other offer?
- No, it's not.
- You have lived the life of a legionnaire in Turkey, you have experience in the Super League, your relations are wide. Why didn't you go there?
- Frankly, I thought about it for a while. But it was not taken. My children go to school here, I have my own business. At this age, it would be unthinkable to throw everything away at once.
- How do you see your future?
- If there is an offer during the winter break, I will continue to play football, otherwise, I will finish my career.
- Where does the voice from inside call you: to the green field in the form of a player or to the technical zone in the coach's uniform?
- It will be a technical zone. We need to work with young people. You see how children grow up, football literacy is low. With this move, I will destroy Azerbaijani football. I'm not the only one, there are a few footballers who, even if they said their words when they were footballers, were out today, but non-footballers were in football. That is why our football is today.
- Do you have a coaching license?
- Category C should be given automatically because I wear the national team uniform. But I want to read B. I also have a passion.
- The national team played 3 matches on November 10-17. Did you watch all the matches?
- There is no rest in lying. I will say what happened. I watched the first game of the cycle. He played against Luxembourg at home. That day I realized that it is not worth watching the game of this team. You get annoyed in the name of watching football. I didn't look at anyone after that. Finally, I watched the first part of the match against Slovenia.
- Why are you upset?
- No attack, no football, what are you looking at? I'm sure everyone watching the game asks themselves, what is their purpose, what do they want to do? I do not understand anything in the speech of the national team. All countries have a football structure. You see, the vast majority of them are people who have played football and have served in football. I do not understand who brought the national coaches. So far, I have not come across a statement about it. Every club, every federation has a manager and they make it public. For example, someone brought a football player, someone brought a coach.
- As if you do not see the fault in the players for the poor performance of the national team.
- No, it's not. He is a footballer, he was invited, and he shows that he can come. What he can do, he can't do more. If he can, believe me, he will.
- Who is to blame?
- When you bring them there and play. I still can't believe that he was chosen by Gianni de Biazi. Adam coached Serie A and led the Albanian national team to the finals of the European Championship. How illiterate a coach should be to make such a choice, to build such a game scheme. I've been in football for years, I've never seen anything like it. I don't know, thank God, I don't know.
- Selects staff on assignment?
- 100 percent. There is no other name for it.
- Who are you left out?
- It's not a question of whether you deserve it or not. I have known Azer Salahli for many years. So far, I've never seen him play as a full-back. Azer is a defender, and his place is a defense. Maybe I haven't seen it, if you haven't, tell me. Do you know what this means? It is as if Namig Alasgarov is playing as a left-back.
- You can't digest the team's defeats.
- Brother, it is possible to draw or lose. Supposedly in our time we were kneeling all the competitors? We also had defeats. But even when you lose, it looks like you lose. When we lost to Portugal 0: 2 with 9 people in Baku, the whole stadium applauded the team. Because we tried to play football, we attacked, we didn't gather in front of the door. Now there is no Portugal, no Finland, no Serbia in the group. Luxembourg, Southern Cyprus, the newly formed Montenegro ...
- There is also the fact that the national team did not concede a goal in 5 out of 7 games under the leadership of the Italian coach. Maybe in time the problem on the offensive line will disappear.
- It's football, anything can happen. It doesn't seem convincing in the current situation. "Maybe" has been going on since the time of Berti Vogts. Where are the legionnaires who wore the national team uniform until yesterday? Why don't they come and play?
- Dmitry Nazarov, Richard Almeida, Eddi Israfilov, Renat Dadashov, Pavel Pashayev - you probably mean them. They cannot come because of the current situation due to the pandemic.
- Why? Are their lives worth more? Maxim, Rahil and Tamkin stayed in hotels in Croatia and Luxembourg due to coronavirus. They are not human, they have no family, no relatives? Because it is a pandemic, those who play in Azerbaijan can travel to different countries, but legionnaires cannot be touched? By the same logic, Maxim, Tamkin, Rahil would say that I do not want to go abroad because of the pandemic.
- Do you think that legionnaires do not come to the country on purpose?
- ...
