Ayxan Abbasov: "Both teams deserved 1 point"

"It was known that it would be a tense game. "Sumgayit" had a very good start to the championship. We knew that they were very confident after defeating "Qarabag". We also wanted to win points. Real episodes only happened with shots. I was pleased with the reaction of the players after scoring an own goal. After the score was 1:1, the most real episodes were on our side. Both teams deserved 1 point. There will be a national break. We need to be better. We will fight with the players we have."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Aykhan Abbasov, the head coach of "Shamakhi", at a press conference after the 1:1 draw with "Sumgayit" in the away match of the III round of the Misli Premier League.

- The official matches of the U-21 national team are coming up. Isn't it difficult to prepare the team?

- I am not alone in the national team. We work with my assistants. We have analyzed the national teams of Portugal and Bulgaria. It's also a novelty for us. But it is a great experience. I hope we will come out with flying colors.

- After switching to two forwards, you created goal episodes. Will you use this in the upcoming matches?

- I like playing with two forwards. We also tried this in test matches. There will be such moves.

- Edgar Adilkhanov scored a goal today. Will this be an impetus for him to return to his previous form?

- I was satisfied with him in the match with "Sabah". Young players do not always have stability. Everything is under our control. Edgar has great potential. We believe that he will be better in the future.
