Elmar Bakhshiyev: The Defeat Happened After Our Mistakes

"We witnessed an interesting game. Both teams on the field preferred attack to defense. It was a heavy defeat. If we react correctly as a team, the upcoming matches will be useful for us. We could have finished the game comfortably. The defeat simply happened after our mistakes. Football is a game of mistakes. The championship is tough for everyone. If we eliminate those mistakes, we can be closer to victories in the upcoming games."

Sport24.az reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan" Elmar Bakhshiyev at the press conference held after the match with "Sumgayit" of the 10th round of the Misli Premier League.

He answered journalists' questions:

- "Araz-Nakhchivan" has always been distinguished by its reliable defense. Today it seemed that something had happened to the defense line. What was the reason for your giving gaps?

- We don't want to blame it solely on the defenders. As a team, we were giving gaps that the opponent was taking advantage of. There were individual mistakes. If we eliminate them, we will be even better in defense as a team. These are mistakes that we need to work on. As a team, we need to do more so that we don't finish the match we are playing superiorly with a defeat.

- Qara Garayev has been staying in reserve more often lately, what is the reason for getting less and less chance?

- There is competition in that zone. There is good, healthy competition. Qara will also get a chance in the upcoming matches. It just so happens that he gets less chance. Qara is a football player who works to the maximum on himself.
