Jorge Casquilha: "We didn't expect to concede so many goals in two games"

"Imishli" lost to "Neftchi" 0:6 in the 25th 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:

- I apologize to our fans for the result. I take all the blame and responsibility. Of course, logically, our mood is bad. I congratulate "Neftchi" on the victory.

- It's Novruz and Ramadan. Usually, head coaches congratulate journalists and the public on this occasion. I would like you to be aware of this...

- I understand, thank you very much. I congratulate you.

- Last round "Sabah" scored 5, and today "Neftchi" scored 6 goals. The next game is against "Turan Tovuz". Are you ready for the seventh goal?

- You are disrespecting the head coach with this question.

- After the match of the 22nd round of the Premier League with "Turan Tovuz" (0:0), I asked if you might have difficulties due to the lack of a large squad. You also said that yes, we will suffer, but we are ready for it. Can we say that you are already entering that difficult period?

- Of course, we are going through a negative phase. We conceded 11 goals in two games. It was a bit unexpected. The team's psychological state was good. We didn't expect to concede so many goals. The indicator of two games is that after we conceded early goals, the team loses itself emotionally and in terms of focus. High-level teams like "Sabah" and "Neftchi" take advantage of this. Despite this, my players do their best. The same players are playing. We will continue our fight until the end. The current break will be beneficial for us so that the team can recover psychologically after such defeats.

- After their last victory, "Kapaz" is close to reaching "Imishli". Do you feel the danger of not being able to stay in the Premier League?

- I have never doubted that we will stay in the Premier League. We will recover, rebuild and move towards our goals.

- At the beginning of the season, "Imishli" was distinguished by playing more local players. But later, more legionnaires started playing. Is it possible to think that locals are more quality than foreign players?

- It's not about that. We cannot say that someone is stronger than someone else. We have injuries among our legionnaires and locals.
