"Karvan-Yevlakh" lost to "Turan Tovuz" with a score of 1:2 in the IX round of the Misli Premier League at the Shamakhi city stadium.
Idman.Biz reports that Azer Hashimov, the head coach of the Yevlakh team, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match.
The specialist stated that they had 4 days to prepare for the game: "When we were ahead in the score, the opponent had no goal opportunities. It happens in football that you play well, but you lose. It is gratifying that our captain Araz Abdullayev took the field today. I don't like making excuses. After 14 years, "Karvan-Yevlakh" is back in the Premier League. There are many games ahead. We do our job honestly and with dignity, we try to do work according to the opportunities we have. Today the team played determined football. I thank them. We lost even though we didn't deserve to lose. We will try to do better. Individual qualities speak for themselves. The coach cannot go on the field and do something instead of the player. We will do our best for "Karvan-Yevlakh" to stay in the Premier League.
- Whose fault is the defeat?
- There are mistakes in any field. Today, my team's defeat was my fault. It is a pity that we could not score points, such things happen in football.
- What was the reason for replacing goalkeeper Kamran Ibrahimov?
- Kamran was not feeling well after the first half, so we made a change. I would also say that Emrah Bulud replaced him properly.
- How would you explain losing the advantage?
- It's just that maybe there was a little complacency when we were 1:0 ahead in the score. I would also like us to be the happy side at the end of 90 minutes.
- Are you not worried about being dismissed after unsuccessful results?
The coach's job is such that if he sees a setback somewhere and does not make changes, it means that he is not doing his job. I don't want to say it as an excuse, we are a new team. We will try to do our best as much as we can. There is also support from the management. We were just waiting for the conditions to perform in our own field, in front of our fans. But this issue is still not resolved. This factor also affects our results to some extent."
