"We go into every game aiming for the maximum result and try to show our game regardless of the opponent's identity."
This was stated by the head coach of "Karvan-Yevlakh" Fuzuli Mammadov in an interview with sport24.az.
We present that interview.
- How did the national break affect the team?
- We tried to use the national break with maximum efficiency. During this period, there were aspects that we worked on both physically and tactically. At the same time, a good opportunity arose to restore some players and re-establish the balance within the team. I think that this break will have a positive impact on the team and we will see the result of this more clearly in the upcoming games.
- The next game is against "Qarabağ". Can we expect a surprise result?
- We go into every game aiming for the maximum result and try to show our game regardless of the opponent's identity. We all know that "Qarabağ" is a very high-quality and stable team. But the development of our team and the performance shown on the field in recent games gives us hope. The players are already adapting better to the requirements and there is progress in terms of game discipline. I think that if we can continue this dynamic, it is possible to achieve better results in the upcoming matches.
- What should you do for the team to stay in the League?
- We correctly assess the current situation and understand the reality. Our main goal is to approach each game as seriously as possible, work on small details and increase stability as a team. To stay in the League, the main conditions are, first of all, disciplined game, concentration and fighting to the end. At the same time, we think not only about short-term results, but also about the overall development of the club. We will try to maximize our point reserve in the upcoming games. I believe that the team understands this responsibility and will try to reciprocate it on the field.
- If you are relegated to the First League, will you continue with the team?
- Currently, all our attention is focused on the current season and upcoming games. As a club, our main goal is to stay in the Premier League and we have mobilized all our strength for this. Decisions about the future will be discussed with the club management after the end of the season. The main thing for me is the interests of the club, and whatever decision is made will be in accordance with the club's development. At the same time, I would also like to note that the club has a long-term development strategy and serious work is being done in this direction. The infrastructure has already been brought to the maximum level and reconstruction processes are continuing. In addition to the base we are currently using, our previous base is being thoroughly renovated for the academy. A field with natural turf and a stand are being prepared here. In addition, two new natural turf pitches have been laid in the area intended for the academy. This shows that the club is building a healthy and sustainable foundation not only for today but also for the future.
- If you had been appointed head coach at the beginning of the season, could there have been a different result?
- It is not a correct approach to talk with "ifs" in football. Since I joined the team, I have accepted the current situation and started working and focused all my attention on building the process correctly. Of course, every coach would prefer to lead the team from the beginning of the season, because this gives a wider opportunity for selection, preparation process, and the formation of a game philosophy. But this is part of football and we must be able to work with the existing conditions. Currently, our main goal is to create stability in the team, improve the quality of the game and gradually reach the level we want. We correctly assess the course of the season and the current situation, and at the same time, as a club, we take a broader perspective. The main goal is not limited only to the result of this season - we are working on forming a more sustainable and competitive team. I believe that the work done and the steps taken will allow the team to have a stronger say in the next stage.
