Azerbaijan, Baku, 2 December / Trend corr. R.Ergun/ The President of the Azerbaijan Professional Football League (PFL) has been satisfied with level of the first round of the Premier League.

Four or five footballers of the substitutive team of Neftchi club have begun to play for a main team. These footballers play for the National team, as well," Musayev said.

The PFL President said that referees were unbiased during this championship.

"Everybody claims that referees have been biased, whilst nobody can speak basing on facts," the PFL President said.

The first round of the Azerbaijani Premier League has finished. The second round will start in February 2009.
