"Garadagh Lokbatan" head coach talks about championship ambition

The "Garadagh Lokbatan" club, which plays in the Azerbaijan II League, enters every game with the determination to win.

This was stated by Gazanfar Abbasov, the head coach of the settlement's representative, in his statement to "Report".

The specialist commented on the match against "Imishli" in the II qualifying round of the Azerbaijan Cup, which they lost with a last-minute goal:

"We knew that the game against the Premier League club would be difficult. The opponent was one of the teams currently in the middle of the championship standings. They won the last game against "Kapaz" with a big score. We analyzed that match and it seems that our players fulfilled the given tasks correctly. True, the difference in level was felt, and this is normal. Despite the fact that "Imishli" had more possession of the ball. But we also attacked fearlessly and scored our goals. We really witnessed an interesting meeting. The opponent won with a goal scored in the 90+6th minute. We congratulate them".

Gazanfar Abbasov said that they want to be the winner of the II League:

"We always prepare for games like a I League team, not a II League team. Our current goal is to finish the II League as champions and return to the I League. It doesn't matter whether it is the Premier League, I League, or II League, we enter all matches with the determination to win. After the match with "Imishli", I congratulated my players for the great game. I believe that we will become the champion of the II League with this squad".

It should be noted that the game "Garadagh Lokbatan" - "Imishli" ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of the latter.
