Hamid Agalarov: “Complexes, nerves, insomnia, introspection – it’s not about me”

Forward “Ahmata » Hamid Agalarov spoke to about self-confidence, which helps ignore setbacks.

Last season, Agalarov, as part of Ufa, became the top scorer in the Russian league with 19 goals. In the summer of 2022, the striker moved to Akhmat. This season, the striker has scored two goals in 15 appearances in all competitions. It was only in one of these encounters that Agalarov spent both halves on the pitch.

– Alexei Stukalov, who coached Ufa, called you a free-kick player. Sergey Tashuev noted your usefulness in counterattacks. Which feature do you prefer?

“Probably both. Both are practical, I will adapt to the functions that the coaches will determine.

– I will rephrase. What is your greatest footballing quality?

– I don’t usually evaluate myself, but maybe by instinct of rating. And that comes with confidence, practice, matches. And a functional base, of course, is necessary.

– About trust. To what extent do you have this character trait? Do you often have complexes, are you irritated by failures, do you do personal research?

– It’s not about me at all. I have confidence in myself, I know what I’m capable of, if I don’t score, I won’t execute. There are also no complexes and insomnia, the nervous system is in order. It’s hard for me to fall asleep after games, but that’s the fate of all football players,” Agalarov told .
