"We have 2 difficult games against the Icelandic club Vikingur in the second Conference League qualifying round. I hope that we will be the ones who advance."
Egnatia’s new Azerbaijani player Zamiq Aliyev told this in his interview to Idman.biz.
The defender made his debut in his new club in the first qualifying round of the Champions League against the Borac club of Bosnia and Herzegovina (0:1, 2:2). He evaluated his debut: "Unfortunately, we were not the ones who advanced. In the return match we played at home, we had enough chances to score the winning goal, but we couldn't do it. We will gather and prepare for the upcoming games. The fact that my first official match was in the Champions League qualifying. It gave me additional motivation and good feelings. My goals are big. Such games are part of my battle and are a great experience for me."
Aliyev also spoke about the atmosphere in the team and the fans' attitude towards him: "Egnatia fans have an excellent attitude towards me. They make me feel their support. I am completely used to the team. Everyone supports each other. I feel comfortable here."
Zamiq Aliyev was on the field until the end in all 2 official games he appeared in as part of Egnatia.
