After the match between Karvan-Yevlakh and Gabala (1:1) in the 1st round of the Misli Premier League, Azer Hashimov, the head coach of the home team, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first expressed his views on the meeting...
– The first game is always difficult. It was a game that took place in the context of dual struggles. We won a point today. I wish Gabala success. The Gabala club also contributed to my being here today. I have played and worked there for many years.
– You made your Premier League debut as a head coach. How did you prepare yourself for the game?
– We have tried to form a team that plays persistently against every opponent. Just as I was persistent when I was a football player, I expect the same from my team. The coach is the face of the football players. We wanted to win a point or points in the first game.
– Is Araz Abdullayev the main captain? How ready is he for the games?
– The opponent expected Araz to be in the main squad. Therefore, he made a tactical change. True, Araz is not fully ready either. He will be better in the future.
– What is the goal set for you?
– The goal is to strengthen in the Premier League, form a persistent team, and not be easily defeated. We will try to do our best as much as we can.
– Will there be a foreign transfer?
– I guess not. We have 12 foreigners. During the week, we look at who performs well, and they take the field.
– Will this squad help to stay in the championship?
– I think so.
– Before the season started, Karvan-Yevlakh was also listed among the outsiders...
– The season has just started. None of our clubs participating in the European Cups can easily say that we will easily defeat Karvan-Yevlakh. We will not surrender easily to anyone.
– Maybe the hero of the game was your goalkeeper. How did you find him?
– Not only the goalkeeper, but the football players also played persistently. He was offered, we looked at him and liked him. There is a long marathon. Everyone will get a chance.
