"Scoring a goal against a team like "Qarabag" is a pleasant feeling for every football player. I haven't watched the episode again yet, but I think it turned out well. I hadn't scored a goal for a long time and that's why I'm very happy."
These words were said by Aykhan Huseynov, a football player of "Turan Tovuz".
The 26-year-old midfielder commented on the 1:2 away defeat to "Qarabag" as follows.
"We didn't make a bad impression in the first half. But our entry into the game after the break was weak again. This is a problem that repeats itself often. 'Qarabag' also took good advantage of this and scored two goals in a short time. Later, although we tried to turn the game around, it didn't work. There was more struggle in the first half, and we mainly preferred counter-attacks. The opponent was also dangerous in attack. But the beginning of the second half was very weak. Although the goals we conceded were beautiful, we should not allow such episodes. It was as if we were not fully prepared for the game.
In the end, we missed scoring chances. We almost lost 1 point. We had real opportunities in the last minutes. I also had an episode, but I couldn't use it. We need to work more on such moments. Now we should focus on the next game," he said in his statement to futbolinfo.az.
Huseynov also spoke about the expectations of the fans:
"The fans always expect the maximum result from us. Before the game, the point difference was small and it seemed possible to rise to the second place with a victory. But our main goal is to qualify for European cups. In this regard, the third place is not a bad result either. Now the main goal is to maintain this position. If we can keep the third step, it will be a successful season. It will be one of the best results in the Premier League for "Turan Tovuz".
He clarified why they could not win against "Qarabag" this season:
"Something was missing in every game. We lost all three games with a minimal score. 'Qarabag' is a strong opponent, it is difficult to play against them. Luck also plays a role. Last season, luck was on our side in some games, but now it is the opposite. The season is very difficult. We are currently only focused on the remaining games. After the championship, you can think about European cups. Our head coach Kurban Berdyev has a lot of experience in European cups. He achieved good results in his previous teams. This experience will also help us. We believe that the team will be better prepared under his leadership".
