After the match of the XII round of the Misli Premier League "Neftchi" - "Imishli" (2:3), the head coach of the visiting team, Jorj Kashkilya, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist first shared his thoughts on the meeting...
– It was a beautiful, fantastic victory. We knew that "Neftchi" is a great opponent. We prepared well against them. We knew how "Neftchi" would play. We were able to take advantage of their weaknesses. We had a difficult start to the game. We fell behind with a goal from a penalty. This is a difficult situation in a game with a team like "Neftchi". Nevertheless, we recovered. After falling behind again, our character showed itself. I was satisfied with the game and my team. Winning away against "Neftchi" requires great character.
– Did you come to Baku today to win, or would one point be enough?
– When we talk to the children, we set them up for victory. If our opponent shows a strong game, the goal is not to lose. Every point is a gain for "Imishli". Today's three points are fantastic.
– If we put character aside, what else did you win with? What was missing in "Neftchi"?
– I can't say anything about "Neftchi".
– You couldn't score a goal against "Neftchi" in the first game. But this time you scored 3 goals, two of which were from a standard position...
– There are many differences between the two games. The first game was at the beginning of the season. We needed time to form the team. That's why it was a different "Imishli" in the first game. Now 4 months have passed and the team has found its game. "Neftchi" is not the first team to score three goals. Now our goals are higher. To score a lot of goals and play offensively.
– You replaced the legionnaire forwards in the last minutes. It was as if you were already satisfied with 2:2.
– Almeida and Juninho had run a lot. The team needed physical renewal. "Neftchi" had fast attacks. The reason for the change was to be able to resist physically.
– Will you talk to the management in the winter to increase the budget for transfers?
– It is more difficult to buy players in the winter transfer period. Especially for clubs like us. We are not at the level of "Neftchi", "Garabagh", "Sabah" to buy expensive players. We are not thinking about European Cups. We are a newly created team and we want stability. The goal is to achieve maximum results with this squad. The goal is to become a stable team in the elite. We are not thinking about transfers at the moment.
– There is a cup game ahead and the opponent is the last winner "Sabah". How will you approach the cup?
– We prepare the players to win in every match. Our goal is only to win. A lot depends on the opponent in front of us. "Sabah" is the favorite of the pair, not us. But "Sabah" sees that we beat "Neftchi", they will also start preparing seriously. Their goal is also to win the cup. Our goal is to win from game to game.
