Azer Bagirov: "The opponent's lack of defenders was our advantage"

"Kapaz" defeated "Turan Tovuz" with a score of 5:2 at the Tovuz city stadium in the 19th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that Azer Bagirov, the head coach of the Ganja team, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:

- I apologize to the Tovuz fans for the minor misunderstanding. It was a difficult game. The opponent's lack of defenders was our advantage. We might not get such an opportunity again. We prepared the kids well for the match. We fought until the last minute, and the team carried out what we wanted.

- Will it be possible to continue this in the match with "Sabail"?

- Time will tell. In recent matches, the team has been showing good, competitive play. The players already know what we want. It is necessary to fight and minimize mistakes. We are not doing anything anymore.

- Is this victory the success of the players, or the footsteps of the expected sponsor?

- It's the children's success. No matter how many sponsors and coaches come, the players are the ones who carry out the assignments on the field. The real success belongs to them.

- What positions will there be transfers to?

- We have players we want. It is impossible to name anyone with 100% certainty in winter. There were reports about a Maltese football player. We are waiting for him. There are things that are likely to fail when revealed.

- Did "Sabail's" victory yesterday make your team play?

- We watch our own game. We didn't talk about that. We are just trying to prepare the team from game to game.

- How do you assess Turan Manafov's current situation?

- I can't say whether he played badly or well. He scored our goals. Turan needs to work hard, he is a promising player. He should be more confident and more determined. He is one of the best left-footed football players in Azerbaijan. He just needs to work harder.
