Ayxan Abbasov said it is impossible to play without aggression against "Qarabag"

After the match of the XIX round of the Misli Premier League "Shamakhi" - "Qarabag" (1:2), the head coach of the home team Aykhan Abbasov answered the questions of journalists. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his views on the meeting…

– It was a disappointing defeat. Considering the weather conditions, it was necessary to show character today. The first half was more difficult. Overall, we didn't fight badly. Unfortunately, we concede goals at the end of the game. In the first half, and in the second… We warn the players about this, but unfortunately. We wanted the players to keep this in mind. In the end we gave space and lost. We will prepare for the upcoming games.

– You played an aggressive game against "Qarabag" in the cup match. Will we see a more aggressive team in the second leg of the cup?

– We get to know each other better as we play. They want to take advantage of the gaps. It is impossible to play against "Qarabag" without aggression. I want to be in shape in all games. Overall, "Shamakhi" shows character in every match. We have to play more aggressively in the return match of the cup.

– To what extent did the substitutions in the last minutes affect the defeat?

– I wouldn't say that the substitutions were wrong. Oruj himself asked for a substitution, Karim Rossi was tired. At that moment, a gap was created in the defense. As a team, we lacked concentration.

– There is an episode of the second yellow card not given to Bahlul. What do you think?

– I think it was the second "yellow". There was also an elbow episode, which can be discussed. I haven't looked at it exactly. Maybe it's within the rules.
