SC Gabala feels proud being highlighted with some many successes over 2014. As we led the domestic premier league early this year and reinforced the first team with well- known in the world Marat Izmaylov before going down to 5th. Then Russian coach Yuri Semin could lift up self-confidence of the team that took them up to domestic cup final, 3rd place in league and European League matches. These were first-ever facts of the club and then the team targeted to go more ahead. But the red-black side suffered from unsuccessful run with Eurocup and domestic league under the lead of Dorinel Munteanu before Roman Grigorchuk joined the club as the skipper to finish the year with 3 noteworthy facts. Now the team feel confident about more successes in coming 2015.
So let”s start with…
Kamran Aghayev
I experienced some undesired occasions üith injuries. Even I thought to put an end to my football career. But these difficulties taught me to be stronger. And healthy atmosphere in Gabala much helped me to keep up with soccer.
We still have targets and lost nothing. Gabala will go on for its targets.
Luis Hilario Dodo
I felt Gabala closer during 2014, in my 4th year for the club. The ending year will bear in my mind with some good pulsating moments – league bronze, cup final, first time in European League.
And I have been a father this year as my son has been born. I wish Gabala to have more successes in 2015. We should take the team up to the place we deserve. I want Gabala to gain again a tally to European League.
Elvin Jamalov
2014 arrived and finished to be most productive year for my football career. So I fortified in the starting line-up, came on my first international contest match as Gabala reached to European League. I was invited by Azerbaijan national U21. Now I am satisfied with my current place. Gabala have much pains on me. I try with my better performances to respond well to efforts of the club for me. I am convinced to be a part of the team to reach more successes in the coming year.
Ruslan Abishov
I cannot tell 2014 was successful year of my soccer career. I underwent some many injuries so I was unable to play in my best. I wish and believe 2015 to be successful for me and Gabala, as well as whole my country.
Urfan Abbasov
I can tell 2014 has been successful for Gabala with the bronze medal, cup final and Eurocup experience. Although I was off the pitch on my punish, I felt the atmosphere close and it was so exciting.
I caught some injuries and stayed off the pitch for a long time.
Now I expect only successes for 2015, and we have a new coach. I believe we will be able to finish the season with better results. My greatest wish is to be called to Azerbaijan national team and I am trying with my best efforts for this.
Anar Nazirov
2014 was full of successes for the Gabala family. We went into amongst awarded sides with domestic cup and league results, as well as first experience in European league. I earned my first-ever medal of my career. We felt not well about European league result, but it is football anyway, yoou can lose and win. I am convinced 2015 to be more successful for Gabala and Azerbaijan.
Cavid Hüseynov
I scored 6 goals for FC Baku in my top scoring season. Then things in my ex-team changed their way. Further I experienced my best event of 2014 transferring into Gabala. Currently Gabala are not at the place we deserve in the league. But we will change all in 2015.
Sadig Guliyev
2014 was not stand-still for my career. I played at times both for the first team and reserves. But I lost nothing and drove benefits from all circumstances.
It was great anyway to be a part of the team in our successes. I was also called by national U21 and I can feel my hard tasks oncoming. All depends on me. Gabala always provided healthy competition and I will utilize this to be integral part of the first team.
Ruslan Amirjanov
I can consider 2014 both successful and failure. We gained silver medal for Inter in the last season. But pain on my back prevented me from being happy for the award. Then I made transfer to Gabala and I got another injury also here in this team. I wish and believe to be away from all injuries pains in 2015.
Bakhtiyar Soltanov
2014 was a year of achievements for me with tally to premier league playing for Araz Nakhchivan in the 1st Division. I also learned much on my mistakes. Thanks to God all are well with my soccer career. Although Gabala are not in its best place on the league table, I am convinced we will be able change the course of the championship in 2015.
Rafael Santos
I cannot forget a dramatic failure of 2014 when we lost to Garabagh after penalty shootout and gave up the domestic cup last season. I still regret much about the penalty I failed to score. Maybe Gabala could have taken the cup if I was able to shot accurately.
Now we are expected by a difficult period from the start of 2015. We should hold on and drive the team up to higher stages in the championship to make fans happy. I believe we will not repeat mistakes of 2014 in the next year.
