"We knew the game would be difficult."
"Imishli" player Azer Salahli commented on the match of the X round of the Misli Premier League, which they lost to "Qarabag" on the road:
"Everyone knows the strength of our opponent. Nevertheless, we played very well. We also had good episodes in the first half. If we could have taken advantage of them, we could have witnessed a different result. But overall, we made a good impression. You can't create many episodes against a team playing in the Champions League. But if you can do it, you have to use it. We tried to create episodes in the second half as well. It didn't work," he said in an interview with sport24.az.
The 31-year-old defender emphasized that they will prepare for the upcoming championship matches: "The next cup match will be in December. We will fight with all our might on both fronts. Time will tell how it will turn out."
The player emphasized that they were satisfied with the game: "We fought well against Qarabag. Everyone knows the opponent's skill. You all saw the first goal. You inevitably lose motivation. Then we conceded the second goal."
The defender wished "Qarabag" success in the Champions League match against "Chelsea": "They represent our country properly. Their results are incredible, these are historic moments for Azerbaijani football. We only expect successful results. We all support "Qarabag" in the Champions League."
It should be noted that the "Qarabag" - "Imishli" match ended with a 2:0 victory for the home team.
