"I thank our fans. They support the team even when we lose. We will try to play better in the next matches and justify their trust. As for the game, we could not realize what we planned in the first half. Perhaps we concede the cheapest goals in the championship. It's frustrating. We need to be more serious and responsible."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Azer Bagirov at the press conference held after the match "Kapaz" – "Neftchi" of the 20th round of the Misli Premier League.
The head coach of the Ganja representative also answered journalists' questions.
- To what extent are the goalkeeper's mistakes in the conceded goals? Are you considering giving Mammad Huseynov a chance in the next matches?
- Before each game, we consult with the coaches about the squad. Especially with the goalkeeping coach. Of course, Yusif Imanov made mistakes today. He should be more responsible. He also made a mistake in the game with "Turan Tovuz". We analyze everything. Measures will be taken.
- You talked to Yuri Vernidub for a long time. What were you talking about?
- There is a former Ukrainian coach. We talked about him. I also welcomed him.
- Ryonosuke Ohori has not been on the field in games with "Neftchi". What is the reason for this?
- He had a bit of a problem with his eye. We decided to let him rest today. He was at the doctor in Baku four days ago. If you want, I can show you the papers.
- Do you feel the support of the management for the team?
- We have no problems. The club fulfills its obligations. I can't say that we are missing anything. Everything is in order.
- Why did you make so few transfers in winter?
- Ceferson Bento's departure was a big blow to us. You know the fee. We cannot risk the club by taking a legionnaire for 3 months. "Kapaz" will not be relegated from the Premier League. We made transfers taking into account our strength. If anyone expects points from "Kapaz" in every game, I have questions for that person. Today is difficult. Are the capabilities of "Neftchi" and "Kapaz" the same? Maybe with "Sabah"? If you give a legionnaire 250 thousand and stay in the championship, it is not right to waste money for nothing. It is a risk. A player can come and get injured. If Ceferson had stayed, we would have considered transferring a winger. Ceferson's departure was a situation we couldn't understand. I have never encountered such a thing. Vitor Fejao said that his wife is pregnant. He cannot have a child here. We allowed Fejao. If Ceferson had asked for permission, it would have been given to him as well. He was such a confused football player that he left without permission and put the club in a bad situation. The club owes him nothing. All bonuses have been paid.
