Azer Bagirov after the "Kapaz"-"Sabah" match: I know the reasons, but talking is not a solution

After the match of the XI round of the Azerbaijan Premier League "Kapaz" – "Sabah" (1:3), the head coach of the home team, Azer Bagirov, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his thoughts on the meeting…

– We cannot go to the field with the team we want. There are shortcomings for three games. Verdashka was not there today either. The game was difficult. We try to do something, but it doesn't work. There are mistakes on and off the field that we cannot fix. We concede goals we don't want.

– Last season, even though you took over the team in a difficult situation, you immediately made a turnaround. This time it doesn't work. What's the difference?

– Last season we had a victory after three defeats. This time it was the opposite, defeats started after two games. We were reduced to a minority in the game with "Imishli", we went to the match with "Neftchi" with losses, and Verdashka was not there today either. Last year was a different situation. I know the reasons, but talking is not a solution. We must look ahead and collect maximum points until winter.

– Last season, 30 points were enough to stay in the league. Do you think 15 points will be enough this time?

– We scored 32 points. After winter, we were in the "top four" according to the points scored. There are many teams this year. I think that 20 or 21 points will be enough to stay in the league.

– Which team has more potential?

– Yesterday, "Karvan-Yevlax" conceded a goal in the last minutes. Today we also had difficulties. There will be decisive games after winter.
