Interview with Faiq Hajiyev, a football player of "Turan Tovuz", to Sport24.az
- You lost points in the 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 gained is important for us. The points gained distance us from our rivals in the standings. I would say we gained 1 point. If I say we lost 3 points, I would undermine the efforts of the Ganja team.
- You got a chance after a long time. How do you evaluate 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 God, the head coach gave me a chance.
- Gurban Berdiyev said at a press conference that the team has difficulty focusing on matches against teams lower than themselves in the standings. What can this be attributed to?
- It is true that we are losing points in matches against underdogs in recent games. I wouldn't say there is complacency in the team. The opponents 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 shouldn't be any relief. In the 3-point period, for every point lost, the opponents can reach us in the standings. There is no big point difference between us and "Zira". The championship is a long marathon. You can't relax.
