"Of course, I am following the changes taking place in Neftchi.
Experienced specialist Arif Asadov said these words to Football-plus.az, reports Idman.biz.
The former coach of our national team assessed the changes that took place in the squad of the capital's representative: "Today, the fact that head coach Samir Abasov parted ways with 9 players does not surprise anyone. Because he had months to get to know the team. However, with the current players, he neither became a prize-winner nor was able to win the national cup. In general, Neftchi remained without a title again. However, it was clear how demanding the fans of this team are. In such a situation, changes were long expected. This is demanded not only by the management and the head coach, but also by the people and the football community. Of course, Neftchi should fight for the highest places, the most serious titles. However, if new transfers do not replace those who left, another season will be wasted. Very correct choices should have been made. The head coach decides who will leave and who will stay. I think that Samir Abasov will do what is right."
Arif bey's thoughts on two important, but not at all promising figures of Neftchi - Emin Mahmudov and Ramil Sheydayev: "Both of them have enough experience. Neftchi needed such local footballers. No matter how strong a player is, if the team is not formed correctly, he cannot show himself from the best side and reveal his skills. Football is a team match. I believe that both Emin and Ramil will return to their magnificent performance as a result of the correct transfer policy".
