"We knew that "Qarabagh" approaches every game like a final. It's the end of the championship, every match is tense."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Shamakhi" Aykhan Abbasov after the game with "Qarabagh" in the 27th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
The match ended with a score of 0:0.
"I thank my players. They fought to the end. We knew that the opponent came at us in the last minutes. But we were able to withstand it. Every point is important for us. My wish is that our approach to the games remains the same until the end of the championship.
Today we played with a completely different tactic. We did this because of "Qarabagh", we are forced to. It is gratifying that the players quickly adapt to changes. Players need to be supported and motivated. Of course, team spirit is also very important," Abbasov said.
The head coach also clarified the rumors about his departure from the club: "Shamakhi" is dear to me. I would like to continue my work here. The team also needs to be strengthened financially. There have been many difficulties for two years. But we haven't talked about any difficulties. We have tried to cope with it. I think the club is on the right track. This needs to be continued. A lot of work falls on the leadership. I know their approaches. I believe they will make the right decision. "Shamakhi" will always be dear to me. Perhaps this is the first time I am leaving the club I work for comfortably."
