Ilham Yadullayev: "1 point in 4 games is deplorable"

I congratulate "Shafa". We are preparing seriously not only for this game, but for all matches. The opponent has given the maximum result in the last 3 rounds, and has not conceded a goal."

These words were said to Sport24.az by Ilham Yadullayev, the head coach of "Ordu", a representative of the First League.

The 49-year-old expert commented on his team's 4:1 defeat to league leader "Shafa" in the 4th round:

"We knew that they are a strong team both in defense and in attack. We conceded a goal in the first minutes of the match. After that, the players did not drop out of the game, we scored a response goal. At the end of the first half, we received a red card. After the card, we made changes and wanted to play from defense. It didn't work, we lost. 1 point in 4 games is deplorable. We are not happy about this either. We prepared well for the championship. The players were determined to achieve maximum results in 3 games. We lose because of the mistakes we make in defense. We try to turn the game around and win, but that leads to gaps in defense. Somewhere luck is not on our side either. After each game, we talk to the players and analyze our game. We support the children to get them out of the psychological situation. The players also fulfill what we want. As I said, bad luck and the red card we received in the last game disrupted our plans. Our next opponent is "Jabrayil". There will be a break in the championship, we have enough time to prepare. We do not agree with this situation. We will try to win our first victory."

It should be noted that "Ordu" has 1 point in its asset after the 4th round of the First League.
