Interview of Azerbaijan national football player Nigar Mirzaliyeva on Idman.biz website
- The Azerbaijan national team finished the season in the Nations League. How do you evaluate the game against the Faroe Islands in the last match of the group stage?
- The game with this team was difficult for us. The main reason for this was that the weather conditions were cold, and at the same time, the opponent was only defending. It can be said that our opponent only counter-attacked during the match. However, we still won with a score of 1:0. This was our last game in the C division. We are very happy to win.
- You scored the winning goal. Did you believe you would stand out before the match?
- I knew I was going to score before the game with the Faroe Islands. A series of chances arose for me. But I could not appreciate it. However, I managed to score a goal by fighting until the end in the second half. I am very happy that I did it.
- How would you rate the team's performance in the League of Nations C division?
- There were times when we won and lost points at this stage. All encounters gave us additional experience. Also, these games led to our development. As a result of our victories, we were promoted to the B division as the group leader.
- Do you expect such a successful performance at the beginning of the season?
- Since it was the first time for us, we faced difficulties. However, as a team, we always went into the games with confidence. In the end, this belief led us to the first place.
- In the next season, you will play in the B division, and there will be stronger teams here. Will it not be difficult to continue the success?
- Although not all teams in the division have been confirmed, we have information about strong opponents. But we will reach the set goal. We will continue to please our fans by achieving good results. The fact that we have reached this stage is a great result. I think there is nothing we can't do. We must always look forward and win.
- You are one of our footballers living a international life. After these games, did you and your teammates get any new offers from foreign clubs?
- Yes, I play in Russian "Zenit". I have a one-year contract with this team. I received offers from other foreign clubs. But for now, I am focusing on Zenit and I am not evaluating the new offer.
