After the match "Shamakhi" - "Neftchi" (0:2) held in the XXIX round of the Misli Premier League, the head coach of the home team, Aykhan Abbasov, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the game:
– We wanted to win. But unfortunately, it didn't work out. We didn't play badly in the first half, we just couldn't take advantage of the goal opportunities. I would say that the opponent won today due to individual skill. We knew that such events would happen due to the weakness of our reserve force. We have many injuries. The absence of Rafael and Vladislav creates difficulties. Michael was sick. But we had to play him in attack. The only good thing was that Elmar made his debut. Hopefully we will recover. At the moment, we don't need to lower our psychological state.
– The point difference with "Kapaz" has decreased to 1, and with "Sabail" to 8. Will the end be tense for you too?
- I think so. Anyway, in a 3-point system, 8 points is not much. A lot can change in the upcoming rounds.
