Dambrauskas shared his thoughts after the "Turan Tovuz" game: "I am a happy coach because..."

After the match of the V round of the Misli Premier League "Sabah" – "Turan Tovuz" (2:0), the head coach of the home team, Valdas Dambrauskas, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first expressed his opinion about the meeting…

– I congratulate the "Sabah" family, management, and players. We worked very hard and worked for this victory during the week. This is faith, our faith in our work process. We are getting better and better. True, it had been 3 weeks, we couldn't win. I dedicate today's victory to the fans. It is very difficult to create chances against "Turan Tovuz". They defend tightly. The opponent is a very well-organized team. It is important to keep our goal intact against them. All teams should take something from the defense of "Turan Tovuz". We did not give the opponent a chance today. We knew they were dangerous in counterattacks. Against such an opponent, you create 1-2 scoring opportunities and you have to use them. In the second half, we put more pressure and scored a perfect goal. After the goal, I felt that we were in control of the game. We were the ones who believed and were energetic. We deserved to win. Despite this, we still have a lot to improve. Mainly, the construction of attacks, positional attacks. We need to improve in transitions to attack.

– You play well against ambitious teams, but you lose points to weaker teams in terms of strength. What do you see as the reason for this?

– Of course, there is such a situation. It is very difficult to play against teams that are lower in strength. Because they "park the bus" in defense. Their game against clubs like us is more motivated. They rely on counterattacks and standards. This is the case everywhere in the world. We need to work on how to play against teams that play closed, how to break the defense. It is also necessary to play well in standard situations against this type of team.

– Are you satisfied with the squad, or is there a gap somewhere?

– I can say that I am the happiest coach because we have a very good squad and the players are motivated, want to develop and show themselves.
