After the match of the VI round of the Misli Premier League "Shamakhi" – "Araz-Nakhchivan" (1:1), the head coach of the visiting team Elmar Bakhshiyev answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his thoughts on the meeting…
– We played two different halves. Our game didn't work out in the first half, we couldn't see what we wanted on the field. We had difficulty in execution. "Shamakhi" put on good pressure. I think we played differently in the second half and were able to make a comeback, we won a point. We could have won, we could have lost.
– We see the loss of points by ambitious clubs. Have the outsiders become stronger, or are the contenders falling short of expectations?
– You can look at it differently. "Shamakhi" players know what they want to do on the field. This trip is difficult, and the field is artificial turf. The teams fought well. It was an interesting and dynamic game for the fans as well.
– Did the defeat to "Qarabağ" have an effect?
– We don't dwell on the defeat. We forgot about it and focused on the next game.
