"We knew that a tough game awaited us. "Zaqatala" is a good team. Moreover, there have always been combative football players in that zone. Thank God, we scored a goal and won".
The head coach of "Sabail" Elvin Mammadov said these words in an interview with futbolxeber.az while talking about the game in the 5th round of the I League, in which they defeated "Zaqatala" with a score of 1:0.
He explained the reason why his team had difficulty scoring in the last 2 rounds as follows: "Many factors play a role in this. Opponents close in on us. Of course, we also have shortcomings. We are working on them. Such things happen in football. It's a long marathon, there will be point losses".
The expert does not see a problem in falling behind due to the points lost from "Shafa", who are their main rivals for the championship: "Only the fifth round is being played in the championship. There are many games ahead. We may be 3 points behind them, or vice versa, we may overtake "Shafa". The main thing is that we don't reflect this on the team. We are not interested in who loses points".
E. Mammadov said that they approach the match against "Shafa" in the next round as a normal match: "Every team is an opponent for us. We treat them all with respect. The match against "Shafa" is just another game for us. Yes, there is excitement around the match. Because the leading teams will play. But we have football players who will cope with this. I believe that everything will be good for us".
