Shahverdiyev - I feel really ready

Gabala”s young player Ehtiram Shahverdiyev took his debut for the A team in the 31st tour away of the Azerbaijan Premier League against Khazar Lankaran Saturday. The 19-year-old talent of the Gabala Football Academy is also a top scorer of the Reserves League season. He appeared in the 82nd minute of the away game. Sharing his first impression with gabalafc.az, he says:
 
“It is really nice to have debut as a young player for the first team. There is a big difference between the firs team and the reserves.
 
Although I was in the line-up of the earlier matches, I could came on first with the game against Khazar Lankaran. The coach gave me a chance wight in this match. I was all for scoring in my debut at the pitch but I could touch the ball only a few times. 
 
I am not satisfied by my first performance for the senior team. But I will push harder to utilize my next chances. I would not say that I was nervous during the show time as my long practices in the reserve team helped me much to feel free at the pitch.
 
Now I feel really ready to be a part of the next team works playing in my best. I am much for opening my scoring before the season ends. We are just 3 days from the next league event fixed against Neftchi. After last 2 wins, Gabala are in a good form to play and take the away match. I hope the coach is still having a faith in me and I will try and respond to his trust in my best”.
 
Shahverdiyev appears to be the 201th player, as well as 185th league footballer for Gabala in its 11 years after being registered as a professional football club in 2005. He is also the 21st U20 with debut.
