"It was a tough defeat. As a team, until the red card, the players tried to play head-to-head. We also got into goal episodes. But after the red card, it's difficult to play against "Qarabag". There's not much to talk about. We need to forget this heavy defeat and prepare for the upcoming matches."
Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan", at a press conference after the game against "Qarabag" in the 5th round of the Misli Premier League.
He answered journalists' questions.
- Regarding the red card, do you blame Slavik Alkhasov or the referee more?
- There is no episode to blame. Aliyar Agayev's decision was harsh. You give a penalty, you keep the opponent in the minority... It was a harsh decision. He could have awarded a penalty without showing a red card. Yes, there was a penalty.
- Considering the two games with "Omonia", the match against Norway in the Moldovan national team, and today's meeting, Kristian Avram has conceded 25 goals in 4 games. Does "Araz-Nakhchivan" have any intention of searching for a free agent goalkeeper?
- You are looking at the statistics. We make a lot of individual mistakes. As a result, we concede goals. Although we started the game well, we lost the rhythm of the game after the red card. The opponent's skilled players took advantage of it skillfully.
- What is Ramon Machadon's condition?
- Ramon is an important player for us. But it's going on and on. We hope he will return soon. He has started training. But he does individual training. He probably needs to be fully ready to join the team. He has a problem in the muscle behind his knee. He was injured in the training camp.
