"Sabah" does not show a stable game.
This was stated by Kerim Diniyev, the former captain of "Sabah", in an interview with Sportal.az.
We present that interview:
- Expectations from "Sabah" are high this season. 6 rounds are already behind. How do you assess the performance of your former team this season?
- The championship has just started and it would not be right to say anything. "Sabah" has played 5 games and has only 1 defeat. But that defeat was also unexpected in the meeting with "Imishli". If they beat "Shamakhi" and "Turan Tovuz", then a draw with "Neftchi" can also be written to the team's assets in a positive sense. Only the defeat to "Imishli" was unexpected both in terms of the game and the result. Such things happen in football.
- How do you assess Valdas Dambrauskas's work in "Sabah"? Do you think the Lithuanian specialist has been able to build his own game system in this team and can we expect a successful result from him?
- My personal opinion is that "Sabah" does not show a stable game. During the confident victory over "Turan Tovuz", there was a completely different "Sabah". The one who lost to "Imishli" was a completely different "Sabah". Time will tell whether it will be successful or not. In any case, the club management knows it better.
- However, in the time of Murad Musayev, "Sabah" played so effectively that it seems that there is no coach who can overcome that "bar". Do you agree that "Sabah" showed its best game under the leadership of Musayev?
- I completely agree. Probably everyone thinks that "Sabah" in the time of Murad Musayev was a completely different team. If there were 2 teams in recent years that were at the level of "Garabagh" and fought head-to-head with "Garabagh", one of them was "Sabah" in the time of Murad Musayev.
- Will this season's "Sabah" be able to compete with "Garabagh" for the championship?
- It seems difficult. Because there is no need to comment on "Garabagh" anymore. Indeed, "Garabagh" is the pride of Azerbaijan. It does not seem realistic for "Sabah" to join the championship fight. But it is certain that they will fight for European cups.
- Which position needs to be strengthened more in "Sabah"?
- The head coach and club management know this better. They are in the business. They have good players in every position. Probably, if they deem it acceptable to strengthen themselves during the winter break, they will make transfers.
