James Eziashi: "I want to be the first Azerbaijani to play for PSG, Barcelona, and Real Madrid"
“I want to be the first Azerbaijani player to play for PSG, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.”
Operativ Media reports that James Eziashi, a forward for Qarabag's U-14 team, said this in an interview with ASAN Radio.
He said that playing for the Azerbaijani national team is one of his biggest dreams:
“My father is Nigerian, and my mother is Azerbaijani. As an Azerbaijani, I would love to play for the Azerbaijani national team. I was born in Baku; I am a Bayil kid. I know the Azerbaijani national anthem by heart. My name is James Eziashi. I was born in Azerbaijan and currently play for Qarabag. Football is everything to me. My father was also a football player. I probably inherited my love for football from him. I cannot imagine myself without football. I even dream about football. My favorite players are Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. I get really happy when I score. There are games where I score two or even four goals, and I enjoy it immensely. I really like Gurban Gurbanov. He is a very good coach. I try to play better every day, to make it to Qarabag's first team, and to have Gurban Gurbanov as my coach. I speak three languages: Azerbaijani, Russian, and English. Our relationship with the other boys on the team is very good; we love each other. If there is no friendliness in the team, we cannot succeed in any game. My biggest dream is to play for the Azerbaijani national team.”
It should be noted that James Eziashi is among the top scorers in the "Sabahın Ulduzları" tournament.
