Azerbaijani football coach Adil Shukurov commented on the information about the possible cancellation of the limit on legionnaires in the local premier league starting from the new season.
— I am curious, since when did we develop such a love for legionnaires? One phrase by Anatoly Konkova comes to mind. He said that we, Azerbaijanis, live the life of a legionnaire in our own country. Unlike Azerbaijan, throughout the world, when a local footballer and a legionnaire are at the same level, preference is given to the local player. But here, sometimes they prefer the legionnaire, claiming he should play because he earns more money. If the limit is removed, what will the national team be like? — the coach asked rhetorically.
Let us recall that Anatoly Dmitrievich led Baku's "Inter" from 2004 to 2006.
