"Qarabagh" lost to "Kapaz" 0:1 away in the 25th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the Aghdam team, Gurban Gurbanov, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- I congratulate Azar Bagirov's team. They were eager, they achieved a very good victory. There were a lot of people who supported us. I thank them. We lost. It's football, these things happen. There is nothing to say.
- What is the main reason for the defeat?
- The opponent simply won. The players were eager, we were not poorly prepared. There was a good tempo in the game. We had a lot of scoring chances. We couldn't take advantage of them. One episode of the opponent resulted in a goal. Today was not our day.
- How did the turf affect your game?
- A field with artificial turf is not the same as a field with natural turf. Yevlakh city stadium is not worse than some fields.
- You lost to "Kapaz" for the second time this season. Is the opponent more motivated against you, or is there complacency in your team?
- We are definitely not relaxed. In the previous game, the team was a bit tired. We prepared very well for today's match. We were also eager, and so were they. There is nothing to say to my players. They put in a lot of effort, they wanted to win.
- What are your thoughts on the episode where you expected a penalty?
- When I complain, the conversation gets too big. It seems Rauf Jabbarov was at VAR. The referee on the field didn't see it, and Rauf looked at it three times and didn't see it either.
- Have you watched the episode?
- I watched it. I think it was a penalty. I also asked Kamila, and he said that he touched my foot. If there is no penalty there, then nothing. Let's see what they will say. Thanks to Rauf Jabbarov too.
- Rahim Hasanov usually confirms the decisions of the referees...
- He will confirm it. That's why you don't have to put too much pressure on him.
- Is the championship fight still going on?
- We will definitely continue. We want to give our fans a victory in every game. The championship is such a thing that not only winning, but also the loss of points by other teams gives you an advantage. Our point losses have given Sabah a big advantage. It seems difficult for them to lose so many points. They have built a very good game system. In any case, we will go to the field for a good game and a good result until the end.
- Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev has been invited to the national team. What is his fitness like?
- Have they invited him? He is not fully ready.
- Is he training with the team?
- He does technical training. He is not in game training. Maybe he was invited because of his experience.
- When can he appear on the field?
- He was supposed to be in full training with the team during the break.
- What is the reason why you give young players little chance?
- We were in a period where there was no need for risks. After the Champions League, there was fatigue in the team. We were trying to improve the fitness of all the players. We can give them a chance in the upcoming games. In any case, everyone must be ready. Whoever is ready will be on the field.
