In the 14th round of the I League, "Sabail" drew with "Shafa" - 0:0. Sport24.az reports that after the match, the coach of the guests, Elgiz Keremli, spoke at a press conference.
The expert said the following about the meeting:
"I thank our fans. They supported us until the end. My players did their best. It didn't happen. It's a game. It's difficult for us too. Every round we face major rivals. We have to get used to such games. There are important games ahead. We will try to maintain our position in the first place".
- You got 1 point in the team that played in the Premier League last year, but you are sad...
- We were the dominant side in the game. Unlike the match with "Baku Sporting", we were superior in this match. I am sad that we could not win.
- What can you say about the penalty episode that was given in the last minute and then canceled?
- I can't get out of that episode. I tried to behave calmly. I have never approached a referee. I have not protested. I approached this time. But the referee said that the linesman saw the episode clearly. Later we looked at the episode. We are saddened by this decision. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
- What can you say about the referee management in the game?
- I really like Rashad's refereeing. He managed our game with MOIK. If the opponent doesn't waste time, he doesn't allow the speed to die. I really like Rashad Ahmadov's refereeing.
- You haven't been able to win for 2 rounds now. Is there any pressure on you from the management?
- There is no internal concern. We have not lost. We are the team that scores the most goals and collects the most points. I think we are good. Normally there should have been tension today. Both teams are in the leading group. It was a derby. We are maintaining the point difference with "Baku Sporting". Our claim continues. We want to rise to the Premier League as champions. Unfortunately, we lost 2 points.
- You transferred Ibrahim Aliyev to increase productivity in attack. But he hasn't scored in 2 games.
- Our "toothlessness" in attack has been felt since the beginning of the championship. 5 of our players have scored 4 goals. I would also like to have a striker who takes over the game. Both Ibrahim and Nahid are trying. Nothing can be said about Ibrahim. He joined us 2 months ago. But we will try to solve this problem.
