Interview of Bagali Dabo, former football player of "Neftchi", to Sport24.az
- Do you watch the team's games?
- Yes. I watch sometimes. Sometimes I look at the results. I can say that they play well under the leadership of head coach Yuri Vermidub.
- What do you think the Ukrainian specialist was able to change?
- We see that the team has recovered. They have gained many points after his appointment. Now they are also fighting for European cups. What place was the team in before? When we see where they are now, we can say that being in the European Cup race is a success so far.
- Will "Neftchi" be able to qualify for European Cups?
- Why not? Everything is possible. But it won't be easy. Because other clubs ahead of them also want this. Their main goal is also to play in European cups.
- The team lost the last match to "Qarabagh" with a score of 1:5. Do you think such a big defeat will affect the players?
- No. I don't think it should affect the team. Losing one game 5:1 is better than losing five games with a score of 1:0.
- Which positions in "Neftchi" should be strengthened?
- I think there is a need for changes in defense.
- Are the forwards at the desired level?
- The start of the season was not good for Bassala Sambu. But as time went on, he gained confidence and started playing well. Then he experienced failure with an injury. But this is also part of football.
