Aykhan Abbasov, the head coach of "Shamakhi," commented on the match they lost to "Kapaz" with a score of 1:4 in the 8th round of the Misli Premier League.
Idman.Biz reports that he answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
The experienced specialist stated that it was a disappointing defeat: "I thank our fans. Unfortunately, we couldn't make them happy. I congratulate the opponent. Such games happen in the championship, nothing works for you, everything is on the opponent's side. Today was one of those matches for us. Although we started the game well and scored a goal, we felt a decline in the team after the 20th minute. The turning point of the match was the episode when Abdullahi Shuaybu received a red card. Maybe if we played with 11 people, we could have changed something. We need to prepare for the next matches. Such incidents have happened to us in the past season. There are injuries. We are having difficulty making rotations. But this is not an excuse. We need to recover as a team."
- How would you comment on the episode when Abdullahi Shuaybu received a red card?
- Shuaybu's fault is great. There is nothing to console. I had prepared the players for such episodes. "Kapaz" has players who can provoke the opponent's attackers. One of them is Diogo Verdasca. I don't forgive such red cards. Because he put the team in a bad situation. Maybe he wants to show himself to his former team.
- What did "Shamakhi" lose to "Kapaz" in?
- Everything worked out for the opponent today. It is also necessary to say that they were more willing than us. It was necessary to maintain the game we played in the first 20 minutes. We also scored a goal. Of course, today the opponent was superior to us.
- Could your two weeks in the national team have had an impact on today's result?
- After returning from the national team last month, we played our best game, we won against "Karvan-Yevlakh". My presence or absence does not affect the defeat. When some players are not there, the level of our game drops. We need to look ahead.
- How does three defeats in two weeks mentally affect you?
- Of course, it's difficult. You have to be stronger after defeats. I have been in the Premier League for many years. There have been consecutive defeats and victories. Right now, we need to build self-confidence in the players. We know what we are fighting for. Yes, defeat in matches against opponents that suit us is unacceptable. But anything can happen in football.
