"I don't know the reason for the defeat."
Idman.biz reports that Micho Kuzmanovic, a football player of the "Araz-Nakhchivan" team, said this in his statement to AZERTAC while talking about the match in the return match of the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup, where they lost to "Qarabagh" with a score of 0:3.
The Bosnian and Herzegovinian midfielder stated that despite the defeat, they prepared seriously for the match: "We knew that the game against "Qarabagh" would be difficult. The opponent is a good team. They have players in their squad who can change the course of the game. We had some losses. If we could have used our chances in the first half, everything could have been different."
The 29-year-old player said that Aghdam club gave preference to physical play: "Qarabagh" scored when needed. After that, it was difficult for us to fight. Now we don't know whether we will compete in the European or Conference League. The most important thing for us is to go further in the competitions we participate in. We are trying to improve our performance in every game."
It should be noted that the Nakhchivan club said goodbye to the cup, losing to "Qarabagh" with a score of 1:3 based on the results of two matches.
