"The game was tense. I think even 1 point is good for us. I believe that our self-confidence will increase as the rounds go by."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan", after the 1:1 draw with "Zira" in the first round of the 2025/2026 season of the Misli Premier League.
- Did you have a conversation with the management after the match with Omonia? In general, they stated that they were satisfied with the performance in the European Cups...
- Of course, they shouldn't thank us after the match with "Omonia". They can always express their objections. This should be taken normally. As a team, we worked hard for the next stage. But it didn't work out. This could also be related to the inexperience of the team. We tried to fulfill the minimum task assigned to us. These defeats will benefit us if approached correctly. Coaching is not permanent. We will be here and do our job as long as they trust us.
- After those defeats, wasn't it difficult for you to rally the team?
- Of course, defeats are psychologically difficult. It is gratifying that my team is strong. We can do better. Because we know this, we will assert our claim as a team.
