"We were aiming to win. After falling behind in the score, we pushed forward with even greater force."
This was stated by Turan Tovuz midfielder Filip Ozobić in an interview with futbolxeber.az.
We present this interview:
- You narrowly defeated Karvan-Yevlakh in the IX round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. How would you comment on the 2:1 victory?
- We knew it would be a difficult game. Karvan-Yevlakh played good football. Nevertheless, we were able to win. The artificial turf made our job a bit more difficult. Despite all the difficulties, we finally achieved our desire and won the important 3 points.
- Although it was expected that you would win an easy victory in the match with the outsider, you faced many difficulties. What was the reason for this?
- We didn't expect an easy victory. Regardless of their position in the tournament table and how many points they have collected, Karvan-Yevlakh is a good team. They proved it too. In general, it is impossible to win an easy victory in any match. All teams fight until the end.
- Your team seemed to wake up after conceding a goal...
- We were aiming to win. After falling behind in the score, we pushed forward with even greater force. Fortunately, we equalized the score quickly. Then we managed to score the second goal.
- You have risen to the leadership again. How long will it be possible to maintain the leadership this time?
- Yes, we are currently leading. However, we shouldn't look at the tournament table. We should only think about the next match. Every game is important to us. Therefore, we must prepare seriously for the next matches.
- Next week you have a game in both the cup and the championship. Are you ready for a tight schedule?
- Yes, first we will play in the cup. Although the opponent is the second league representative "Dinamo", we must take the match seriously. No opponent should be looked at with weak eyes. Then we will face "Shamakhi" in the championship.
- You will play the next game in Tovuz - at your home stadium. Will this make your job easier?
- It will be very pleasant. We will perform in front of our home fans. We aim to achieve a good result with their support.
- How do you assess the performance of your former club "Qarabağ" in the Champions League?
- "Qarabağ" is achieving very good results in the Champions League. This is a positive thing for both the club and Azerbaijani football. They scored 6 points in 3 games, and this is a very good result.
