"Araz-Nakhchivan" defeated "Imishli" 2:0 in the 7th round of the Misli Premier League at "Liv Bona Dea Arena". Sport24.az reports that Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of the representative of the Autonomous Republic, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- Although we won, it was a tough match. We played a good game as a team. Unfortunately, we could not take advantage of all the episodes we created. I congratulate my players. We will get better in the attack plan from game to game.
- What are your goals for this season?
- Today's opponent is one of the toughest teams in the championship. "Imishli" is a team that defends well. We were ready for the game as a team. It is gratifying that the players were trying to carry out the given tasks correctly. This is not the full potential of my team. I think we have a good chance of getting better when the full team is available. When it comes to the goal, it is still the beginning of the championship. We are not thinking about the goal now. We are only thinking about the next opponent. We have a healthy team. I believe that my players will do a good job this year as well.
- The team has scored 10 goals and conceded 9 goals. Does this statistic bother you?
- If we approach the matter with statistics, we will be deceiving ourselves. Sometimes statistics mean nothing. We could have finished the game more easily today. But the dynamics and excitement continued until the last minutes. It is the beginning of the season, it is normal to have problems. We have added new players to our squad. We will become a better team over time.
- Do you think "Qarabag" will be able to continue their victories in the Champions League?
- "Qarabag"'s success is the success of all of us. We are happy for them. The game they showed gives hope that they can do more.
