"Gabala" coach stated that the goal scored during the game was within the rules

After the match of the XX round of the Misli Premier League "Gabala" - "Sabah" (0:1), the coach of the home team, George Chikhradze, answered questions from journalists. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the meeting...

– "Sabah" and we are fighting for different goals. They are playing for the championship, we are playing to stay in the league. We played passively in the first half. The main thing is that we didn't concede a goal, we created dangerous episodes. We played better in the second half. We conceded a goal from a normal situation. It was an episode where a goal shouldn't have been conceded. After the goal, we started playing actively and aggressively. We also scored a goal at the end of the game, it was canceled. It's a controversial episode. In the end, we lost.

– Was it a controversial episode, or was "Gabala"'s right violated?

– We lost, in my opinion, the goal was clean. Someone can also watch and evaluate. I think the goal was scored within the rules.

– Are you not thinking of changing the flank defenders in the starting lineup?

– Turan Manafov is new, not in full form. He is slowly starting to get in shape. There are Nijat and Eshgin on the right flank. Sometimes one, sometimes the other plays. Sometimes we also play Nugay in that position. We try to make maximum use of our resources in that flank.

– What is your plan with Rufat Ahmadov?

– When we transferred him, we thought he would help us on the flank. Rufat had played here before and we knew him. We thought of him to strengthen that position. But it didn't work out.

– Does he not want to leave?

– He was training with the reserve team. If he has an offer, he can leave. It's just that the situation was such that he stayed in the team.
