"Imishli" defeated "Karvan-Yevlakh" with a score of 3:0 in the 5th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that Jorge Casquilha answered journalists' questions at the post-match press conference.
- The game was played with our advantage. Although the opponent put pressure, they could not score a goal. We were able to dictate our game. When the score was 2:0, we started playing comfortable football. We knew that if the opponent scored, the fight would be different. But we didn't allow it. We scored the third goal as well. We could have done more. I have something to say to the referees: We should have had a penalty, it was not given. Elvin Yunuszade played roughly against Almeida. Viegas' episode was not more dangerous than this. I ask them to be more careful.
- This is the third game in a row that you have left the field as a winner. Has your goal changed?
- No, our goal is constant. Three wins is a great achievement for a team coming from the 1st league. That's our goal. Thank God, we can do it. There are more financially powerful teams. We go out to every game not to lose, to win.
- Was it difficult to prepare the team psychologically?
- No. It wasn't difficult. The problem didn't concern us. We thought about it one night, and it was over. Then we prepared for this game.
- Were you surprised that "Qarabagh" defeated "Benfica"?
- I congratulate "Qarabagh". It was a historic victory for all of us. I was rooting for "Benfica". The ball is round. Anything can happen. "Qarabagh" played a better game.
- Could the interest in the Azerbaijani championship increase in Portuguese society?
- Of course, it will have an impact. Everyone was expecting "Benfica" to win. This victory shows the level of the Azerbaijani championship. "A Bola" newspaper also talked about "Imishli". The interest of the Portuguese media will increase. Portuguese coaches work all over the world.
- Would you rather believe in "Qarabagh"'s victory over "Benfica" or "Imishli"'s three consecutive victories?
- Which one would you believe? (laughs)
- None of them (laughs)
