"I told the players that the game would be difficult. Because "Karvan-Yevlakh" had nothing to lose."
Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by Andrey Demchenko, the head coach of the Nakhchivan team, at a press conference after the match with "Karvan Yevlakh" in the 21st round of the Misli Premier League.
He first shared his thoughts on the match:
"I told the players that the game would be difficult. Because "Karvan-Yevlakh" had nothing to lose. They would fight to the end. In the first half, we could not fully realize what we had planned tactically. In such a situation, you need to be patient and wait for your chance. We took advantage of our opportunity to score on a counterattack. In the second half, we played a little differently and tried not to give the opponent empty zones. I thanked my players. They did everything for the win. But we can't relax yet, we have games ahead."
The head coach also commented on the question about Felipe Santos' position in the main squad:
"We explained to Santos that he is a good player and his qualities are high. He worked harder on himself and returned to the main squad."
It should be noted that the match "Karvan Yevlakh" - "Araz-Nakhchivan" ended with a 2:0 victory for the visitors.
