An interview with "Neftchi"'s French right-wing winger Imad Faraj to Sportliqa.az regarding the away game against "Imishli" (0:0) as part of the 2nd round of the Misli Premier League.
- First of all, we would like to know your opinion about the game...
- It was a difficult game because the opponent was defending and waiting for counter-attacks. When we play against such teams, we have to be able to find gaps and create more transitions. Of course, we had two or three chances, but we couldn't score. We have to be further ahead.
- What do you think about artificial turf? Did this factor affect your game?
- Yes, I think it did, because I played on artificial turf when I was 15 years old, so I haven't played on artificial turf for about 10 years. But this is not an excuse. We have to improve in every game and make the most of the opportunities we create.
- After two games, you have only scored one goal, and that was from a penalty. What can you say about the difficulties you are having in scoring goals?
- We had chances, but we need to finish them and be sharper in front of the goal. We need to be better in the attacking line.
- What do you think about the team's goals and objectives for this season?
- "Neftchi" is a big team and we should have big goals. We will do our best to become champions. Of course, we know it will be difficult, but it's only the second game. I hope the next game will be better.
- What are your thoughts on adapting to Azerbaijan and playing football here?
- This was my first game because I was injured for two months. I played my first game after two and a half months. But there is no problem. I hope to get back to my best form soon and help the team.
