Former Paris NN captain Kirill Gotsuk told how he played for the Turkish Serik Belediyespor together with striker Ilya Sadigov and appreciated his football abilities.

Earlier it was reported that part of the shares of the Turkish club is owned by Tufan Sadigov, a former investor in the bankrupt Khimki.

— Serikspor had more than just Russian football players. One of them is Ilya Sadigov. No one presented it to him?

“Ilya answered: “I’m a football player, I don’t interfere in my father’s business.”

— Sergei Yuran said that from some point he felt pressure from Sadigov Sr. regarding the game of Sadigov Jr. Did the team feel it?

— Within the team, this question arose quite sharply at times. Especially when they stopped paying. Although in general Ilya is an absolutely normal guy. When he was asked to help with something, he met them halfway. He was brought up well, it seems to me that this is not a very common story for children of rich parents. They asked me to help buy something, sort out the kitchen, and some medications. That is, everyday issues – for both Russian and local players. He’s a normal guy.

— Is Ilya Sadigov a good football player?

“Let’s put it this way: everyone understands everything,” Sports quotes Gotsuk as saying.

This season, the 25-year-old forward played 12 matches for the Turkish club and was not effective.
