"Imishli" lost to "Araz-Nakhchivan" with a score of 0:2 in the 7th round of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the regional representative, Jorge Casquilha, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- It was a very difficult and high-quality game. We know that "Araz-Nakhchivan" is fighting for European Cups. We started the match well. My team was applying high pressure. It was an even game. "Araz-Nakhchivan" made good use of the standard situation in the first half. We motivated the players at halftime. We started the second half very well. We spent a lot of time in attack. We did our best to equalize the score. We couldn't take advantage of the penalty in the last minutes. In the end, "Araz-Nakhchivan" scored the second goal.
- You made a lot of changes. What was the reason for this?
- This is normal. Because we were losing. That's why we released attacking players on the field.
- Are you worried that the penalty was not executed accurately?
- We prepare football players not only for penalties, but also for free kicks. Missing a penalty is normal in football. There have been times when Messi and Maradona could not score.
- What needs to be done to win in the next games?
- Victory and defeat are part of football. There is no team that always wins. "Araz-Nakhchivan" is a very strong team. It is positive that "Imishli" showed such a game against them. The defeat will not reduce our motivation. We will go to the match with "Gabala" to win. We will continue our training in the same way.
