"Qarabagh" defeated "Kapaz" 1:0 in the 7th round of the Misli Premier League at "Azersun Arena". Sport24.az reports that Gurban Gurbanov, the head coach of the Aghdam representative, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- I wish Azar Bagirov success. He has taken on a responsible job. In the first game, it was clear that there is a well-managed team on the field. Playing against "Kapaz" will not be good for the opponents. I congratulate the players. We won a very important victory. The quality of the game was a little low. The pitch factor affected both teams. We had to be more eager. None of the players who were on the field in the match against Copenhagen three days ago played in the main squad. It was necessary to be eager. It seems that the atmosphere of that game has not completely gone away yet. 3 points were very important today. I thank the fans.
- Could the low pace of the game be due to the team's fatigue? How many days will you give the players a rest during the international break?
- There may be fatigue. Players who don't play are out of rhythm. As I mentioned earlier, there was a pitch factor. It prevented the ball from going on the ground. The pitch has been very busy lately. Both "Turan Tovuz" plays their home games here, and our U-19 team played here in the UEFA Youth League. It will be better in the next matches. There is a big difference between the speed of the game in Europe and here. We will give the players 4 days of rest.
- How will the international break affect "Qarabagh", which is currently in good shape?
- It's hard to say. Sometimes collective rest is very important for us. Proper recovery and rest are very beneficial for the team. We will have some problems with the national team players. There is both physical and psychological fatigue. They will think that my teammates are resting, and I am training. We somehow eliminate physical fatigue. Sometimes we sacrifice a game. Psychological fatigue has always worried me the most. The program is the same for all teams. Our opponents' players will also go to national teams. Maybe the break is beneficial for us. In any case, we are less accustomed to such a pace.
- When you transferred Kamilo Duras, did you think of him as the main striker?
- We saw the player's potential. He has the ability to play both on the left, on the right, and in attack. Nariman Akhundzade as well. Such players sometimes give additional benefits to the team.
- Which of the legionnaires who played in "Qarabagh" would you like to see in a team participating in the Champions League now?
- Even if I have such an idea, it is useless. You have to look real. But believe me, I would like all of them. Each has its own place.
- Have you started analyzing "Athletic" yet?
- Not yet. We will rest for a few days and start analyzing it more closely.
