Demchenko: "I saw anxiety in the players"

After the match of the XIX round of the Misli Premier League "Sabah" - "Araz-Nakhchivan" (4:1), the head coach of the visiting team, Andrey Demchenko, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his thoughts on the meeting...

– We played against a good team. They were good in defense and attack. We conceded the goals we saw in our goal due to our mistakes. From the first minutes we tried to put pressure on the opponent. Pressing is a team effort. We made a mistake during the pressure and then saw a goal in our goal. We conceded three goals from counter-attacks and the children's mood was spoiled. You must have the desire to play attacking games. There was also anxiety in the players in the game with "Neftchi". We tried today, but it didn't work out. The more players you let close to you, the more desire you have. I saw anxiety in the players today. This anxiety is not a good quality in football. The players have difficulty passing accurately. We are trying to move the team from defense to attack. This takes time.

– Felipe Santos came on the field and was able to make a difference after the last game, and this time too. Is the training process still more important to you?

– Yes, it is a good indicator. Team play depends not only on attack, but also on defense. When we play both in attack and defense, we will be better. I don't want to single out any player. We lost as a team today.
