Azer Hashimov: "Our goal is to strengthen our position in the Premier League and form a team that does not shy away from opponents"

"The first game is always difficult. There was an equal struggle on the field. Today we gained 1 point. I wish "Gabala" success. This club has contributed greatly to my becoming a coach."

Idman.biz reports that Azer Hashimov, the head coach of "Karvan-Yevlakh", said this at the press conference held after the 1:1 draw with "Gabala" in the 1st round of the Misli Premier League.

- You made your debut as a coach in the Premier League. How are your feelings?

- We have tried to form a team that plays hard against every opponent. I am the same as I was when I was a football player, as a coach. I instill in the players that they should not be afraid of the opponent. Thank God, we gained 1 point today.

- Is Araz Abdullayev ready to play?

- The opponent could have expected Araz in the starting lineup. That's why we didn't play him in the first 11. He is not fully ready now. He will be in better shape in the future.

- What will be Karvan's goal?

- Our goal is to strengthen our position in the Premier League and form a tenacious team that does not shy away from opponents. We will try to be in a higher place as much as we can.

- Will it be possible to reach the goal with the squad you have?

- I think it will. No one can say that we will easily defeat "Karvan".

- How do you rate the goalkeeper's performance?

- Not only the goalkeeper, but all our players played well. The championship is a long marathon, other goalkeepers will also have a chance.
