"Imishli" lost to "Sabah" with a score of 0:3 in the 13th round of the Misli Premier League at the Quba Olympic Sports Complex stadium. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the regional representative, Jorge Casquilha, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- The game was very difficult. We are disappointed to lose at home. "Sabah" started the match well. Then we managed to equalize the game. We even scored a goal. In our opinion, there was no offside. But VAR made a different decision. This is not the first time that VAR has ruled against us in such cases. Until the first goal in the second half, the game was equal. After falling behind, the players worked hard to score. Although we had good chances, we couldn't score. I congratulate the opponent.
- Your next match is also against "Sabah" in the cup. What do you plan to change in the winter break?
- We will continue our training in the same way. Today my team showed a good game. There will be some changes in the squad because there are two matches in the winter period. Because the recovery process is important. We also have to think about the championship game with "Sumgayit".
- The head coach of "Sabah" said that this stadium is not at the Premier League level. What do you think?
- I respect my colleague's words. This is the stadium where we play our home games. Look at how we play at home and away.
- After the victory over "Neftchi", you lost to "Sabah" by a big score today. Did the pitch factor affect your game?
- We think more about our opponent than the pitch. "Sabah" has one defeat in the Premier League, and that was in the game with us. We came to this match to win as well. I won't say anything about the field. Because the main thing in football is the tactical approach.
- You entered the field with 10 legionnaires today. If you had the opportunity, would you have played a foreign player instead of Azer Salahli?
- Azer is our captain, a very important player for the team. His mistake today doesn't change anything. This is football, mistakes happen. Foreign players also make mistakes.
