Elvin Jamalov from "Neftchi": "Decisions are often against us"

"After the limit was lifted, the competition has increased significantly. There was a struggle from the beginning, but we had more chances due to the local player limit. Now, we must always be ready in a competitive environment to take advantage of every opportunity."

Idman.biz reports that these thoughts were expressed by "Neftchi" footballer Elvin Jamalov in an interview with futbolinfo.az.

The experienced defender emphasized that they lost two points in the game against "Sabah": "The game was mainly under our control. Although we had enough attacks, we could not take advantage of the episodes and the score was not opened. As a result, the match ended in a goalless draw. In my opinion, today we did not gain a point, we lost two points. Because we were the superior side on the field from the start to the end. There was also a penalty episode, but the decision is up to the referee, he did not find it necessary to give it. I think like our head coach Samir Abasov – if that situation was the opposite, the penalty would probably have been awarded. Because the ball was clearly directed towards the goal. Unfortunately, we also see in the analyzes that decisions are often against us."

Jamalov finally stated that this situation can be overcome with the support of the fans: "The fans always expect the best game from us. Although we drew today, we feel as if we have lost. Because the fans only want victory and we are very upset that we cannot give it. But I believe that we will overcome this difficulty by getting together. Our team has been renewed this season and everyone expects us to be at the top of the tournament table. We talk about this often among ourselves. We have not been able to score a goal for two games now, despite being superior on the field. We just need a win. After that, everything will be fine."
