Denis Balan“When Aliyev played matches at Dynamo-2, he was already experienced, it was evident. Then Khatskevich worked as a coach, they knew each other very well, they played together, and Aliyev was a kind of springboard, he dragged the team along with him, shared his experience.
Aliyev's entry into the ranks of territorial defense from the first days of the war? To be honest, I wasn't too surprised. Aliyev is a peculiar, but not a bad person. What he sometimes says, did something once, this is his life. He did nothing bad to people. He is a patriot and he showed it, he always said what he thinks. Aliyev wanted to go, he supports Ukraine and he proved it with deeds, ”Balan is quoted as saying. "Ukrainian football".
