"We knew it would be a difficult game. We were familiar with the opponent's quality. They are high in the tournament table. My players fought hard. If we had scored our second goal in the last minutes, we could have celebrated the victory. Thank God we didn't lose. We will think about the upcoming meetings and try to eliminate the shortcomings."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Sabail" Elvin Mammadov said this at the press conference held after the 32nd round of the Misli Premier League match with "Araz-Nakhchivan" (1:1).
The specialist talked about the chances of staying in the Premier League: "We are not losing hope. There are 4 games ahead, anything can happen. Why not? We have to give them confidence that we can get out of this situation thanks to them. We are hopeful. We will fight to the end. Every game is difficult for us. In the next round we have a game with "Shamakhi". Aykhan's team is ready both physically and tactically. It is difficult for us for every game. We are aware of it. We can only get out of this situation by speaking positively.
The head coach stated that they were superior to the opponent in goal episodes: "Let it not be disrespectful to the opponent, but today we had more goal episodes. If Madi had scored in the last minutes, if we had won three points, it would have been better. We are not giving up hope. Anything is possible in football. Let's get out of this situation, and then we'll have other conversations. We are not giving up hope. If it is in our destiny, it will happen."
