There are teams that play with long passes at the expense of tall, athletic players. I have always played on the ground in Qarabag, I preferred to keep the ball. It will be a little difficult to adapt to another style. "

When I read Mahir Emreli 's reasons for refusing to join Polish Zaglembe, I remembered my uncle Shahin.

Our uncle is a favorite of us and those who live in neighboring buildings. He served in the Soviet Union in Germany, then went to Ukraine and settled there. He returned to his homeland after many years. He is a noble, intelligent man, who knows the big and small places, as they say, with enlightenment in every finger.

In the building, whoever is in the house, Shahin is looking for his uncle. God forbid, wherever you show, there is a person who finds a cure. Floor, ceiling, paint, electrical work ... The only "minus" is the lack of connection with plumbing. What is a normal tap change that does not happen to him. He says that from the beginning I was not interested, for some reason I was not attracted to this work. Therefore, everyone knows that Shahin is not a plumber.

Yes, now this pampered Mahir of ours has learned everything to be a good footballer, except to play with one "sky". As a child, he was given the necessary information in "Baku" and after "growing up" in Qarabag. As he said, he can handle the ball, he likes to play "on the ground", but athletic football, which is loved and accepted in most European countries, is not in the top ten.

Another problem is Qarabag's victory over Polish teams. In other words, Mahir's level does not allow him to live a legionary life in this country today. For example, if it were England, Spain, Italy, it would be another matter. But not in Poland. Looking from the sidelines, Mahiri mocks that Qarabag beats Polish teams, and an Azerbaijani footballer goes and plays there.

Mahir, my dear, my friend, my little brother, don't do that. Do not make such statements. A footballer's job is to play football, "from the ground", "from the sky" - it does not matter. They bring the ball to you, and you have to go through the door. You see, they pass air, stop, put on your feet. Then go to the left foot, shoot at the door.

As for Qarabag's victory over Polish teams, such a cheap excuse does not suit the name of a member of the national team. You know and see the fantastic difference between the Polish championship and the Azerbaijani championship. Why humiliate the country's top elite at that height? If Robert Lewandowski from Poland reads what is written, he will say that the place will be divided, not only you, but our football as a whole will go underground.

There is a way to "get out of the water". You see, a journalist asks you why you don't want to play abroad, act like Uncle Sahin. Say I can do everything, except leave a warm house and go abroad.
