"Sabah" drew 3:3 with "Qarabag" in the 22nd round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the Agdam club, Gurban Gurbanov, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
Today we had a very interesting game. There was a great atmosphere in the stadium. I thank the fans of both teams. The match was as the fans wanted to see. The opponent's attack line is very strong. Football has reached such a level that such a score can happen in every game. The appealing side of football is that you sometimes face unexpected situations. What worries me is the recovery of my players. We were playing in a very busy schedule. There was such a match after "Newcastle". In 3 days there will be a cup, then a championship game again.
- What do you think about the referee adding 6 minutes to the main time of the game? Don't you think it was too little?
- In such a match, with so many stoppages, adding 6 minutes was too little in my opinion. Sometimes there are games that no one wants to end.
- After the match, you had a 1-2 minute conversation with your colleague from the opposing team...
- The opponent's assistant coach was rude to us. Our conversation was about that. I told him that he should apologize to our entire team for this. He also said that he apologizes to all of us on behalf of the coach.
- What are your expectations for the last round? Do you think the team is psychologically ready?
- What worries me is the recovery of the players. We were playing in a very tight schedule. In general, our championship is going interesting. We will make slight rotations in the future to get the players fully ready.
- After the match, were the players happy, or were there those who were upset about the draw?
- After the game, there were those who were happy and those who were dissatisfied. I was satisfied with my players, they showed character. We cannot achieve a result without character. We are not obliged to be champions every year. There is no such term in football. We will fight to the end. Today we learned more about the power of "Sabah". If we want to win, we have to play better than today.
- In the absence of Bahlul, you were forced to make changes in defense. We saw that Dani Bolt lost to his opponent on the right flank, and Aleksey Kashchuk also performed poorly...
- I found it appropriate to put such a squad today. I wouldn't say that Bolt performed poorly. He had Maluda, one of the fastest players in the championship, in front of him. I think he performed normally against him. As for Kashchuk, maybe he was nervous. He could have played better.
- What are your thoughts on Musa Gurbanli? Do you think he is ready to play in the starting lineup?
- Musa is working very hard. If he continues like this, he can also take a place in the starting lineup.
