Bibars Natcho: I’m excited and hope to become a champion with PFC CSKA!

— Bibars, tell us about your feelings after signing up with PFC CSKA?
— I’m very excited! We all know that PFC CSKA is one of the biggest clubs in Russia. I’m happy to play here. I want to join the team and start to play as soon as possible. Of course, I come to a big team and the competition is high, but I’m ready for that. For sure, I need a couple of weeks to get back to business in terms of my conditions. I played in Russia for four years and I’m ready to come back.

— You took number 66, the same you used in Rubin and PAOK. What’s behind it?
— I had cousin Nili, who played basketball and used number 6. About 10 years ago she died in the crash and I decided to take her number. When I came to Rubin, number 6 was already taken by another player. I chose 66 and stay with it.

— You won Russian Cup and Super Cup with Rubin, but didn’t manage to win the championship. Do you aim to fill this gap with PFC CSKA?
— Yeah, I have Cup, I have Super Cup, I need only the championship! I hope to become a champion with PFC CSKA soon.

— Did you speak to Leonid Slutskiy already?
— We had only one phone conversation, but we are going to meet tomorrow and discuss all the things.
