Amina Bibosynova is one of the young Kazakhstani footballers playing in the German Bundesliga. In her interview with the KFF press service, she told how her career began, why she chose football, what surprised her about Germany, and what goals she has, both in her club career and in the national team of Kazakhstan.

- Amina, would you tell us how you were engaged in football, where did it all start?

- Since my childhood I played in the yard and at school. From the 7th-8th grade I started to go to the football trainings. Then everything went gradually, and after the first successes my parents began to take it seriously.

- You were also engaged in rhythmic gymnastics, taekwondo, but why did you end up more interested in football?

- Gymnastics was in my early childhood. Then I did taekwondo, but I had to stop because of Schlatter. When I entered high school, I wanted to play football. Playing in the yard with kids, I enjoyed both the emotions and the process.

- Your father four years ago said: "If it continues to develop and go further, I think that, God willing, the success of the Kazakhstani national team will be guaranteed. He has always believed in you?!

- I think so. Whatever I started to do, he always supported me.

- You are one of those players who plays abroad, and in Germany. Would you say that the level of women's football and organization there is ideal?

- I would not use the word “ideal” - there is no such thing as ideal. It all depends on how we look at it. But if we talk in general, then yes - the level, organization and attitude to women's football there is quite different. In Germany they invest a lot and develop women's foootball. But we should not idealize it too much.

- What are the peculiarities of the local league, what caught your attention first of all?

- The first thing is the level of play. No one should be underestimated. Even if a team is in last place, it doesn't mean that taking three points will be easy. Every team plays at a high level. Very clear organization: already in the pre-season we know the whole plan for the season - dates, venues, friendlies, opponents. And, of course, the fans. No matter what league - there are always fans. People really support their clubs, they come to the matches. This gives a great incentive and affects the development of football. I hope our fans in Kazakhstan will also attend all the matches.

- Would you tell us how about your transfer to FFC Turbine?

- I went to study in Germany, and the club was in the same city where I study. Through an agent I got to the preview and the club took me.

- How do you live in Germany in terms of everyday life?

- I have only one day off - Saturday. During the week - as usual: training, classes.

- Four years ago in your interview you said that the dream was to meet Cristiano Ronaldo, does it still exist or are there other priorities?

- Actually, I didn't say that. I guess the journalists themselves decided who my favorite footballer was and who I wanted to meet. But Cristiano Ronaldo is a fotball legend. I think, if there was an opportunity, everyone would want to see him.
