After the "Shamakhi" – "Qarabagh" match (0:0) of the XXVII round of the Misli Premier League, the head coach of the visiting team, Gurban Gurbanov, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the expert first shared his thoughts on the meeting...
– I thank the players and our fans. Despite the fact that we could not win, we watched a good fight until the end. These things happen, there is nothing to do. We have to look at the upcoming games. I congratulate the opponent.
– You lost two important points on the way to the championship, how will this affect the team?
– We are already quite affected. A 10-point difference with a competitor like "Sabah" is not small. We need to approach the upcoming games more positively.
– From your words, it was understood that from now on you will focus mainly on the cup to win the title.
– No, we still have interesting games in the championship. Meetings with "Sabah" and "Neftchi" are coming up. There are also unsuccessful seasons. In any case, we must show our fans good football until the end.
– Are radical changes expected in the team for the next season?
– Everything doesn't always go the way we want, but we would like to make some changes. There is a need for new players and to strengthen the squad.
– How much impact have the successful results achieved so far and the incoming offers had on the players' thinking?
– Of course, it had an impact. In any case, we had a successful season. Most of the squad has received various offers, but it is a negative nuance for us that this affects the new players who have joined the team.
