"We played well. The defense played well. It's hard to concede goals in the last minutes. It's disappointing. This is football. In the first half, the game was in the midfield. The teams were exploring each other. In the second half, we played better tactically, we had chances. In the last minutes, the injury of our goalkeeper and defender affected the game. We had difficulties in extra time and conceded a goal."
Idman.biz reports with reference to Futbolpress.az that this was said by the head coach of the home team, Jorge Kaskilya, after the match of the I round of the Azerbaijan Premier League "Imishli" - "Turan Tovuz" (0:1).
– Your main players were injured. It seems that goalkeeper Sinenko's condition is more serious. Are you thinking about a transfer instead of him?
– We will wait, we will decide what to do after we know the latest situation. We hope they come back soon. We are not thinking about a transfer.
– Last season, Turan Tovuz usually scored winning goals in the last minutes. Were you aware of this?
– Of course, we had analyzed the games. We knew that the opponent was playing aggressively and preferred long passes.
– You made your debut in the Premier League. What are your initial impressions?
– I had watched it before coming here. There are 4-5 quality teams in Azerbaijan and the championship is at a good level. There are legionnaires in the clubs, there is good competition. The level is good. Initial impressions are pleasant.
– Do you believe you can make sense of the Premier League?
– I want to achieve results here, to show my professionalism. My team was tactically good in the first game. It is possible to win with "Imishli".
– When you were appointed to the club, there were some criticisms that you worked in the lower league. Were you aware of these?
– I am not interested in such comments. My main focus is on my team being good. We are working on it. Today we played normally against a team that wants to play for the championship, we showed better football in the second half. This means that the coach's tactics are working.
– Although the team represents Imishli, it prepares in Baku and plays in Shamakhi. How does this affect you and have you encountered such situations in your coaching career?
– Despite the problems, the main goal is to work on the team. Such factors do not have a big impact. True, we would like to play in our native region, but the management is dealing with these matters. Our job is with the team. This is the first time in my career that this has happened. I also thank our fans, they came from a long way. They didn't leave us alone. We are grateful to them. We promise that we will be more prepared for the game with "Neftchi".
