"We should have been in a higher place and we were trying to do that. The first half of the season was up and down. We need to catch stability after the winter break."
Nuriyev emphasized that Zira's goal in the second round is to qualify for European cups:
"We know the mistakes we made before winter and we shouldn't repeat them. Our goal is to qualify for European cups."
