"We lost, we played terribly, this is a disgrace." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by "Neftçi" captain Emin Mahmudov.
The experienced football player shared his thoughts on the XII round match of the Misli Premier League, in which they lost 2:3 at home to "Imishli":
"If we score a goal and then concede from a throw-in or a set piece, that's a problem. We had good chances. We can't score into an empty net. Then we concede from a throw-in. "Imishli" has a good playing style. They counter-attack from defense, they use set pieces. But we played very badly. If we lost, I can't talk about the goal I scored."
The captain emphasized that they did not play badly in attack: "We have opportunities, we score goals. But we play weakly in defense as a team."
Mahmudov emphasized that it is difficult to talk about the chances in the championship: "The expectations of the fans are different."
He also touched upon the match against "Turan Tovuz" away in the next round: "When we say it's a difficult away game, we can't even win at home. There is not much to say. We will try to achieve a good result away for our fans."
The player also reacted to the fans' resignation slogans: "I cannot answer the question about changes. I would like us to continue with Samir Abasov, let there be good results. But I don't know how it will be. May it be beneficial for "Neftçi"."
