Finally, Olavio Juninho's transfer to "Flamengo" became official.
This issue was not resolved for more than 1 month. Yesterday, the Brazilian club officially announced the transfer. Good luck.
Juninho's transfer made me clarify 3 issues. I will try to bring those points to your attention with subtitles...
Money is everything for a footballer
Everyone thought that Juninho would be transferred to Sevilla. The Brazilian himself was in this decision. But one phone call changed everything. "Flamengo" coach Filipe Luis contacted the native and invited him to his team. The "Seville" issue was immediately forgotten. It's strange. If you remember, Gurban Gurbanov made the following statement after the postponed match against "Shamakhi" from the 3rd round of the Misli Premier League:
"Juninho himself has a desire. He was not very interested when the offer came from other championships. Now he says that after the offer came, he couldn't sleep because of his joy. The player wants to leave. He said that if the club agrees, he will gladly go."
So, what happened that Juninho did not agree to this transfer, which caused his dreams to be put on the throne? After all, everything was ready. All that was left was to reach the final agreement. But money changed the process. Flamengo's bid to double his salary has dashed Juninho's Sevilla ambitions. They say that if the striker can show himself well in the Brazilian club, there is a possibility of being invited to the national team. It was possible if this issue also appeared in "Seville". Do you think that the Brazilian, who scored goals in the representative of La Liga, will be left out and some forward from "Flamengo" will be invited to the team? This was not an unreasonable approach. Of course, the fact that the Brazilian club offered Juninho a higher salary led to the final decision. More money is the main thing for a footballer...
The biggest football clubs of the world buy players from all over the world
Some football experts claimed that the biggest football clubs of the world do not want to buy players from the Azerbaijan Premier League. Juninho's move to Flamengo overturned those thoughts. It's not a joke, "Karabakh" sold a player to the country that is considered the homeland of football.
If we believe what was written in the Spanish, German and Brazilian media, "Bayer-04" was also interested in Juninho. An offer was even sent to "Karabakh". However, Agdam's representative did not sell his player because he did not like the financial conditions. You are also aware of the "Seville" issue. It means that the giants of the world buy quality football players from everywhere. The problem lies with other representatives of Azerbaijan who cannot form a normal club.
Azerbaijanis cannot use the potential of "Karabakh".
We have come to the most important point for me. You are all aware of the success of "Garabagh" in Europe. As a result, during the next 5 years, "Karabakh" sold many foreign players. Kadi Borges, Ibrahima Wadji, Kwabena Owusu and Olavio Juninho. It is true that there were local football players who left the Aghdam team. Mahir Emreli's contract ended and he went to "Legiya", Rahil Mammadov parted ways with the club based on mutual agreement and joined "LKS Lodz". Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev canceled the agreement with the representative of Agdam and started to play in "Adana Demirspor". When Musa Gurbanli moved to "Yurgorden" alone, more than 1 million euros were paid to "Kohlen Atlar".
Yes, there are such points regarding our players. But what I want to explain is another point. The collectives from which ours were transferred do not play in the huge championships of Europe. They want to pay the locals of "Karabakh" a maximum of 2 million euros. But "Krasnodar" spent a lot of money on Kadi, "Flamengo" on Juninho. The team is the same, there is a result. Why is there no interest in Azerbaijanis? Elvin Jafarguliyev, Toral Bayramov, Bahlul Mustafazade, Nariman Akhundzade, Kadi and Juninho trained together and went to games. So, why can't they be interested in them? Because ours are very comfortable. They play regularly in "Garabagh". They are loved more or less in the country. Why should they make themselves suffer more? They earn their money sitting in their houses like flowers. But they don't think that "Karabakh" has a special potential in the transfer market. It should be used. At least those who are happy about Juninho's departure to Flamengo should be given more of the same feelings...
