"It was a tough game. We thought we could resist as a team. We knew the opponent was experienced. We played poorly. We have to accept it. In these types of games, so many mistakes do not go unpunished. As a team, perhaps we need to approach it correctly and move on."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan," who lost 0:4 to the Cypriot team "Omonia" in the first game of the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
- What do you attribute this result to?
- You will ask Igor Ribeyro about the answer again. He is a "Neftchi" football player. The Ribeyro issue is over for us. We played poorly. Not just the defenders, but we were faltering in the defense plan.
- Despite the quality of Omonia's attacking power, Araz-Nakhchivan played attacking football. If you had played a little more defensively, would the result have been different?
- There is no "a little" in football. There is an approach in football. From the first day, I want to see this team more on the attack. Preparation for this game was not just about attacking. We had prepared the team in two phases. But it didn't work out.
- What did you say to the players during the break?
- Sometimes you have to accept that you want to, but you can't make it happen. This was one of those games where no matter what changes we made, even if we wanted to give it to the team, the first half was no different from the second half. We lost as a team. We have to accept this.
- How serious is Boli's injury?
- His injury is not that serious.
- Do you think Patrik Andrade and Felipe Santos preferred individual play more?
- You asked a good question. In modern football, more emphasis is placed on individual qualities. I can't take that away from the players. If he has self-confidence, he will also want to get past the opponent. The individual actions of Felipe and Andrade alone did not affect the result.
- Was it because you were afraid of Omonia that this happened?
- There was no fear. We knew that the opponent in front of us was experienced. Sometimes you prepare, but other surprises happen. As a team, we had difficulty getting back into the game after conceding consecutive goals. This is not a weak performance by my players. You just sometimes want to, but it doesn't work out. You have to accept it normally.
- It can be said that the European Cup is over for you. How realistic is it to rally the team?
- We don't build our work on social media. Everyone is free to express their opinion. Before the first game, they were also asking if they were finished before they started. But as a team, we will calm down and prepare for the away game.
