"Football is a game where you can't constantly maintain the same pace and play the same way."
This was stated by "Neftchi" defender Falaye Sako in an interview with futbolinfo.az.
We present the interview.
- You won 3:0 against "Shamakhi" in the 31st round of the Misli Premier League…
- I am very happy. Because it was important for us to win 3 points in this match. We did our best and achieved victory. I think it's a very important victory.
- Since "Shamakhi" is a closing team, it is usually difficult to play against them. But you seemed to have an easy match…
- Of course, this is the result of our head coach's work. Our coach prepares us for each team, gives us tactical assignments for each team. We spend almost the whole week preparing for that team.
- "Neftchi" was often criticized in previous matches because the team pressed the opponent in the first half, but could not continue it in the second half. In the match with "Shamakhi", the team almost coped with its work until the end. Can we say that the team has improved physically?
- As I mentioned earlier, each opponent has its own tactics, game philosophy. The head coach prepares the team accordingly. We analyze, that's why we play. It can be said that every game is the same.
- The team created many scoring opportunities, but could not use all of them. What do you see as the reason for this?
- The thing is, at the beginning of the championship, the players did not know each other, the team was not adapted. A new team was gathered. It took some time for us to adapt, for all of us to adapt. Now the situation is such that the team understands each other easily and plays comfortably.
- Do you feel an improvement in your game?
- Football is a game where you can't constantly maintain the same pace and play the same way. It is impossible to show this. There are times when you experience a decline, you cannot show the performance you want. But the main thing is that your concentration is always high.
- Your chances of getting into European Cups now depend only on "Sabah"'s victory. "Neftchi" has almost guaranteed 4th place.
- Our only way to get to the European Cups is for "Sabah" to win the cup. We can also finish the season in 4th place and join the Conference League. In addition, if "Sabah" wins the cup, it will give us more motivation to perform better in the upcoming games.
- Your next game is against "Sabah". Will you be able to defeat them too?
- I think it will be a very good game. "Sabah" is a very good team, they play well. We are not behind them either. It will be an interesting match.
