The interview of Mammad Guliyev, football player of Saraburi United club of Thailand 1st League, to Idman.biz website
- Many knew that Ramil Sheydayev was the only football player of Azerbaijan who played in Thailand. He has already gone to Turkiye. You have been playing in this country for 4 years. How did the player of Ravan decide to go to Thailand?
- The reason I left Azerbaijan was the small number of teams. At the moment there are many good players whose contracts are expiring and it is difficult to find a team. In this case, they go to the 1st league. But I didn't want that and that's why I came here.
- What are the difficulties of playing in the Thai championship for an Azerbaijani football player?
- I wouldn't say it's difficult, but there is a foreigner limit here. They think a lot before signing. The foreigner they give a chance must be a leading football player. The first days were a bit difficult. You have to adapt to a different championship and everyone expects a great game from you.
- Then you consider your game satisfactory?
- I don't think it's bad. In the ongoing season, I scored 11 goals in 23 games. Also, I had 7 assists.
- What is the financial situation in Thai 1st league clubs?
- It's good. Whether it's the major leagues or the minor leagues. I will not tell the salary I received. Of course, it is an additional advantage that visa, ticket and other issues are included in the contract.
- Ramil Sheydayev was in Buriram United some time ago. Did you watch him play?
- Yes, I watched Ramil's games when he was here.
- How was his mutual breach of contract received in Thailand?
- Actually, I didn't find any articles about it.
- Do they know Azerbaijani clubs in Thailand?
- They only know Qarabag.
- But if there is an option to return to Azerbaijan, would you consider it?
- If there are offers, yes.
