After the match of the XXIV round of the Misli Premier League "Araz-Nakhchivan" – "Karvan-Yevlakh" (2:1), the head coach of the home team, Andrey Demchenko, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his thoughts on the meeting...
– We won an important victory. The first half was good for us. We scored good goals. The goal we conceded in the second half was our own mistake. The end of the game was a bit tense. Compared to the game with "Qarabağ", there was fire in the eyes of the players.
– Simakala missed a lot of episodes. There was also an argument between you when he was substituted. After the last game, you said that there were players who didn't want to play. Is Simakala one of them?
– I won't name names. The players who don't play well know it themselves. Simakala is a striker, he has to score goals.
– Were you satisfied with Nuno Rodrigues' game?
– Yes, we changed his position. He played well.
– Do you feel that you are in the fight for European Cups?
– Of course. We are progressing more and more every day. They are starting to accept the materials better. We lost points against big teams, but our goal is European Cups. Every victory gives the team confidence.
