After the match between "Sabah" and "Neftchi" (2:0) in the XIV round of the Misli Premier League, Valdas Dambrauskas, the head coach of the home team, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his views on the meeting...
– My players performed great. As a coach, there are still things I want to improve. I really liked today's behavior, approach. No player hid from the ball. We always want to see "Sabah" playing like this. It was also a very interesting game for the fans. The important key today was the desire to take the initiative from the first minutes. "Neftchi" was in a different formation, made changes we did not expect. After the break, we were the better side. We didn't allow "Neftchi" to play. The issue that worried me was missing episodes. We cannot take advantage of our goal opportunities. We create crucial opportunities in front of the goal, but there was no final pass, no final shot. We wasted a lot of goal opportunities in both halves. It is impossible to achieve everything in football. We have to increase. We need to solve the things we need to fix. There are two tough games ahead.
– There are games against "Turan Tovuz", "Qarabag" and "Sumgayit" ahead. Victories will take you to the break as a leader. Is there such an idea?
– I have answered this type of question many times. It is difficult to say what will happen in a month or two. What is important for us is to go through the recovery training, rest and prepare for the next match. I really can't say what will happen until January.
– How serious is Aleksey Isayev's injury?
– I don't think it's related to his previous injury. I don't know how he is yet. I have to talk to the medical staff. I hope it's nothing serious. Aleksey shows his quality on the field. He is an important player for us.
