Emil took off in two SEC tournament and won both. The injury meant, that in Gorican and Rzeszow we not watched representative of Russia. Sajfutdinow received from the organizers of One Sport credit of trust for another year. He was granted a wild card. As the Russian reaction to the news? We present you an interview with the ninth speedway rider SEC in 2013.
Radosław Zieliński (SEC): We just finished SEC this year. Is a big surprise for you Martin Vaculik win?
Emil Sajfutdinow: Watching these games I was not surprised. He used his chance, drove very well and showed his best side. Deservedly won the tournament.
R.Z: Did you have the opportunity to compete in two events and both won. Do you think that if not for the injury won an European title?
E.S: I do not know, it's hard to say. I always go to the max and try to win. You never know how things would have worked out. But it seems to me that the two events in which I performed well presented.
R.Z: For the first time in a long time great matches have been played in your home country, Russia. How would you rate the round in Togliatti?
E.S: I really liked those games. The stadium is one of the best in Europe. It will be appreciated and thank all the fans who were in the competition and created an amazing atmosphere. This doping, which there certainly created to help me win.
R.Z: What do you think about the number of rounds of the SEC? Four is too little, too much, or maybe just in time?
E.S: It depends on who has how many races of the season. If you ask me, it's four tournaments are a bit low, but if there were, for example, six, it would be very good.
R.Z: In view of the injury You has not managed to stay in the top three championships. Those, however, the organizers offered a permanent wild card for next season.
E.S: I really want to compete in both the European Championships and the World Championships, so I am very happy with this wild cards that grant the organizers. I would like to thank you for the wild card, as you trust in me and the opportunity to fight for the highest goals in Europe. I am glad that I could be again one of the actors in the show.
R.Z: Recently briefed that next year will be played in Sweden of Elit Vetlanda team. In Poland, you run out of contract in Częstochowa. What are your plans in Poland?
E.S: For now, I do not want to talk about it. Season in Poland until the end. The time will come, we sit down to talk and then I will be able to say something more. For now, I am in Spain, in Barcelona, where going through rehabilitation. I'm working hard to get well and come back next year.
R.Z: As for the other league? Planning starts for example in Russia?
E.S: As for Russia, it is also still do not know, because there is a problem with one club. If the issues are resolved, then I could also something more to say about this. I hope that in Salawat all goes in the right direction and I will ride in Russia.
R.Z: Let's get back to the SEC. In the next year, as a full member again you will be able to fight for the crown of European Champion. What are your expectations when it comes to the new season?
E.S: I would like to ride and win. Most important, however, is to append health. Then everything will be fine.
R.Z: If you could decide to award wild cards in the SEC, who would be assigned? Tell you that there are three places available, as well as a wild card accepted Andreas Jonsson.
E.S: It seems to me that Tai Woffinden certainly deserves the wild card.He did not race last tournament due to injury, and if it were not, he would have a good chance to win. In addition to Tai certainly deserves a wild card Tomasz Gollob, who suffered a injury in Stockholm. It seems to me also that the SEC should go to Jaroslaw Hampel.
R.Z: At the end, you want to say something to all the fans who are waiting for next year's edition of the SEC?
E.S: I wish the fans keep their fingers crossed for all to pray for our health, and then we will show a great prosecution. We want instead to give the fans a lot of fun.
R.Z: Thank you.
