"As we expected, it was a very difficult game. "Neftchi" is a team that plays for the championship. We learned our lesson from the last game. We drew conclusions from our mistakes, trained well and came to this match. We knew that "Neftchi" would come to the field to win. We achieved our goal and got our point."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Imishli" Jorge Casquilha said this at the press conference held after the 0:0 draw with "Neftchi" in the II round of the Misli Premier League.
- You worked in the Czech III League. Can you compare that championship with the Azerbaijan Premier League?
- It is impossible to compare. The Azerbaijan Premier League is of course superior to the Czech III League.
- Have you met your compatriot Fernando Santos since you came here?
- He came to one of our test matches. We met there. But we didn't have such a wide conversation about Azerbaijani football.
- You face ambitious rivals in the first three rounds. Can it be said that you were unlucky in the draw?
- We knew that three difficult games awaited us. Knowing this, we were preparing the team. As you can see, "Imishli" did not lag behind any opponent. Our preparation went well. "Sabah" is a team that plays fast football. We will prepare for them both physically and psychologically.
- There is a feeling of failure in the dual fights in your team. How will you eliminate this?
- Our team is physically well prepared. We have many young players. Such cases can be observed. But this does not mean that our football players are physically weak. We are working on the shortcomings.
