In the 18th round of the Misli Premier League, "Kapaz" lost to "Shamakhi" - 2:0. Azer Bagirov appeared before the media at the post-match press conference:
- We knew the game would be difficult. Shamakhi's defeat in the last round led to a more serious approach. We made mistakes on the field. There is good in everything. It was an unwanted defeat.
- It seemed like we saw a "Kapaz" that couldn't get out of the euphoria of the victory over "Qarabag"...
- There may be traces left. It would be naive to deny it. We have been talking about this for several days. We made cheap mistakes.
- You played better in the second half. Why didn't it work in the first half?
- There was a gap in the middle. We saw it. We were able to fill it in the second half. Our game was also good until the goal.
- Is Mate Abuladze at a level to replace Jefferson Bentu?
- He has performed well in two games. Time will tell.
- What percentage of the team is Yusif Imanov?
- He hadn't played for a long time. He has mistakes, but he can fix them.
- Why did Verdashka play poorly?
- I used to be a defender myself. Finding mistakes in them is the end of the job. Everyone sees the mistake there. We want the players to open up in the process. Ohori loses the ball on the flank, and we concede a goal. Maybe someone won't say it, but the mistake starts with Ohori.
- Abuladze and Verdashka seem to be in the same style...
- I am more dissatisfied with the defensive midfielders than them. Ba loses the ball, and Arsen scores a goal even though he is a central defender. So there is a gap in the center. We need to do everything to win results.
- How ready will your team be for the cup?
- My players are capable of playing every 4-5 days. We will try to continue our way in the cup as well.
