After the match of the XVI round of the Azerbaijan Premier League "Sumgayit" - "Sabah" (1:3), the head coach of the visiting team, Valdas Dambrauskas, answered journalists' questions.
Futbolpress.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the meeting…
– I congratulate my team, the "Sabah" family. It was a very important victory. We needed this victory. True, we could have played better. After the goals, we suffered a little towards the end of the game. The victories in recent times were important for us. I thank the players, they have developed a lot in recent months, they have improved. After the New Year, we will prepare for the second round of the season.
– After a long time, the name of the winter champion has changed. How did you manage to do this?
– It's only half of the season. There are games ahead. "Qarabag" is a very good team. It is a coaching team, they have caused a stir in Europe. We need to improve and grow a lot to be like them. We only focus on the next matches. The winter championship does not give medals.
– When speaking at one of the conferences before, you said that there was an important game with "Turan Tovuz" and "Neftchi". You did not mention "Sumgayit". Was this because you thought you would win easily, or had you forgotten?
– Maybe there was a misunderstanding. Every game is important to me. You usually ask questions about "Qarabag". But for me, the important match is the next one.
– You were against the drone shooting. What was it interfering with?
– How can I answer this question? I came here to talk about the game, not about the drone.
