"Araz-Nakhchivan" drew 2:2 with "Imishli" in the 17th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the "red-whites", Andrey Demchenko, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- Weather conditions and the condition of the stadium did not allow to show a good game. We tried to show a good game. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal from a standard situation. We were in control of the game. Football is like that, if you don't score, they score against you.
- What was the reason for giving Tarlan Ahmadli a chance in the goal?
- We are looking at the players. We are trying to check the best option. There are football players who fulfill the given tasks faster.
- After the 60th minute, the advantage passed to the opponent. Don't you think you were late with substitutions?
- We tried to control the game on the pitch in this situation. Sometimes you can't play dominantly for 90 minutes. This was due to our mistakes.
- Have you seen a worse pitch in your career?
- "Imishli" was also playing under the same conditions. In such a situation, the team must show its strength. There have been such stadiums in Ukraine.
- There were many Azerbaijani football players in the starting lineup. Was this a forced step?
- I do not separate football players as local and legionnaires. We have 20 players. Whoever is better in training will play. The important thing is to win the result.
