"Turan Tovuz" defender Faig Hajiyev gave an interview to Sportal.az.
- "Turan Tovuz" lost to "Zira" in the 33rd round of the Misli Premier League. What was the main reason for the defeat in that match?
- Actually, we prepared very well for this game throughout the week. We knew the strengths of "Zira". That's how we conceded the goal. Although we had prepared for those episodes. But we conceded a goal due to a momentary lack of attention. That mistake led to our defeat. In other words, a momentary lack of attention caused our defeat.
- The strange thing is that "Turan Tovuz" could not create an episode in front of the opponent's goal when they were outnumbered. Can we say that "Turan Tovuz"'s inability to score goals in matches against outnumbered opponents is due to the lack of a Plan B, or are you unable to increase the pressure?
- We knew that "Zira" defends well. This is one of their strengths. After being reduced to 10 men on the field, they focused more on defense. This made our job difficult. In fact, it is always difficult to score against an opponent with 10 players. Because they only defend and there are many people in their penalty area. In this case, it becomes difficult for the team that wants to score.
- "Turan Tovuz" is now in 4th place and has fallen a little further behind "Araz-Nakhchivan" in 3rd place. "Sabah" in fifth place also has a chance to reach you. What do you think your situation will be at the end?
- We are approaching the end of the championship. We will try to do our best. We will play the remaining last games like final matches. Then we'll see what happens after that.
- Next round, the opponent is "Neftchi". The opponent has no claims left. Will it be possible to defeat them?
- We know that a difficult game against "Neftchi" awaits us. Our preparations are in this direction. If we go to the match against "Neftchi" with the ideas you say, we will not be able to defeat them. As with every match, we must approach this meeting with maximum seriousness and concentration. Otherwise, we will make our job a little more difficult.
- In any case, "Turan Tovuz" must wait for "Karabakh" to take the cup in order to go to the European Cups. Will you support them in the "Karabakh" - "Sabah" final?
- Of course, it will be good for us if "Karabakh" takes the cup. But the final consists of one match. We will see what happens on the game day. God willing, everything will be good for us.
- This season, you are one of Kurban Berdyev's main trusted players and one of the team's main players. There will be no limit in the Premier League next season. Will Berdyev trust you again?
- I thank Kurban Berdyev for trusting me and giving me a chance to play. I am also doing my best. I try to live up to expectations. Everything will be in my hands in the new season. A lot depends on how I am in shape. I will try my best to be a regular member. I have never shied away from competition. This will be good for my development.
