"Zira's" strength worked. They have good, fast attackers on the counterattack. Despite warning our players, it didn't work." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by Kurban Berdyev, the head coach of "Turan Tovuz", at a press conference held after the match with "Zira" in the 33rd round of the Misli Premier League.
He commented on his team's 0:1 defeat.
- If "Turan Tovuz" qualifies for European cups, what can it hope for?
- Let's first think about going somewhere. Of course, it is difficult to go somewhere with such a game. As for whether I am satisfied with my team's game, I was satisfied in certain moments. But not overall. We were enthusiastic. That satisfied us. I had warned my players about counterattacks.
- Both "Zira" and "Araz-Nakhchivan" were in the minority in matches with you. Why can't you take advantage of this? Why does the opponent's red card work against the team?
- Of course, this is not hockey, so 100 percent absence will not manifest itself. True, it gives an advantage somewhere. But sometimes there is no complete advantage. "Zira" also defended intelligently. We practically had no chance.
- "Tractor" became the Iranian champion for the first time in its history. What do you think about them?
- I knew that a lot depended on the result of "Tractor's" opponent. I am hearing that they became champions now. I congratulate "Tractor". I also congratulate Mohammed Reza Zonusi, he has been moving in this direction for a long time. Thank God this happened. I will definitely congratulate him.
- Do you see any other way to qualify for European cups besides cheering for "Qarabag" in the cup final?
- Of course, that will be the case. But we will also wait for "Araz-Nakhchivan" to stumble. We have three games left that we have to win.
