Striker from Grozny “Akhmat” Gamid Agalarov said in a interview that he was trying to focus on poor performances this season, noting that he had not paid attention to media posts.
Last season, Agalarov became the RPL’s top scorer, scoring 19 goals in 29 appearances. This season at WORLD RPL, the 22-year-old forward has registered one goal and one assist in 17 appearances.
– Compared to Ufa, I have become stronger, I do a lot of hard work, I play better online. Mentally, I got stronger, I understood a lot of things.
– The only negative point in the number of goals?
– Yes. This is probably the main drawback. Why am I scoring less? I don’t know, maybe I need to refine the implementation. There is nothing like I despair, I punish myself for it, I blame. I try not to think that I haven’t scored yet, to block it with work in training.
– Last year the top scorer, this year – nothing.
– I try not to read what they write about me – comments, news. I can only read it if they send it to me. The second season, as my father told me, is the hardest. I talked to him a lot about this subject. He said that we had to endure, to work. He’s talked about it before, and that’s what’s happening.
How does it feel to tell yourself that you’re lucky?
– If I took other people’s opinions to heart, would I be sitting here? Probably, in the youth team, Anji refused and did not go any longer. I don’t care what other people think. The opinion of parents, relatives, technical staff is important. Hamid Agalarov himself knows what he is capable of, that he will succeed and everything is ahead of him.
Sometimes a thought creeps in when you start to calm down. The father feels it, he “nails” this thought. A stick and a carrot – both, he feels the moment. Sometimes praise. For example, after the game, I feel like I didn’t play very well, he says: “You were not bad here at that time.” Sometimes he calms me down.
Competition makes you stronger, you are constantly focused in the training process, in everyday life you think that every day you have to prove that you are better. And so every day.
– Agalarov is more suitable for a stick or a carrot?
– If the coach makes a remark, it means that he cares about you and your game. If he does not pay attention, there is nothing worse than that,” Agalarov said on the airwaves of TV game.
“Akhmat” ranks fifth in the Russian championship standings, earning 40 points in 25 games. In the 26th round, Sergey Tashuev’s team will play away to Torpedo Moscow on May 6.
Live broadcasts of MIR RPL matches take place on the federal channel and thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
