"Currently, every point earned is important for us. The points earned distance us from our rivals in the league table."
This was stated by Faiq Hajiyev, a football player of "Turan Tovuz", in an interview with sport24.az.
We present that interview.
- You lost points in an important match against "Kapaz". What can you say about the game?
- We prepared well for the match. We knew that the match against "Kapaz" would be difficult. The Western derby is always interesting. The result we wanted was to win. We came to Yevlakh for this. It was bad for us that we didn't win. We will draw conclusions from this and prepare for the next game.
- Do you think you gained 1 point or lost 3 points?
- Currently, every point earned is important for us. The points earned distance us from our rivals in the league table. I would say we gained 1 point. If I say we lost 3 points, I would underestimate the efforts of the Ganja team.
- You got a chance after a long time. How do you rate your game?
- It's true, I haven't played for a long time. I also want to get a chance to be in shape. Thank you to the head coach, he gave me a chance.
- Kurban Berdyev said at the press conference that the team has difficulty concentrating on matches against teams lower in the league table. What can this be attributed to?
- It's true, we are losing points in matches against outsiders in recent games. I wouldn't say there is complacency in the team. Rivals are more motivated against us. Their being more motivated affects us. Such matches will be a lesson for us.
- "Zira" lost points this round. Was there any relief in this regard?
- There should be no relief. In a 3-point period, for every point lost, rivals can catch up with us in the league table. There is no big point difference between us and "Zira". The championship is a long marathon. You can't relax.
