"Imishli" lost to "Qarabag" with a score of 0:1 in the 20th round of the Misli Premier League at the Quba Olympic Sports Complex stadium. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the home team, Jorj Kashkilya, answered journalists' questions at the press conference after the match:
- It was a very difficult and competitive game. Both teams wanted to win. My team played well tactically today. We could have prevented the attack line of "Qarabag". In the second half, a mistake in a standard situation resulted in a goal. That was the winning goal. I was satisfied with my team's game. "Imishli" played well and fought to the end. Defeat is part of football. A draw would have been a fairer result.
- It can be said that almost everyone in the stadium was rooting for "Qarabag". How is it to play in such an atmosphere at home?
- It didn't have a big negative impact. This is the first time that so many fans have come to our home game. Their support for "Qarabag" motivated our players. It didn't create any problems for us.
- How would you comment on Diogo Almeida's unnecessary red card?
- We will analyze the episode after the game. Action will be taken regarding Almeida.
- Gurban Gurbanov expressed negative opinions about the pitch. Will any measures be taken to improve the grass cover?
- The head coach is not responsible for the condition of the pitch. It would be better to ask this question to the management.
- Don't the players complain about the condition of the pitch?
- If a coach like Gurban Gurbanov is complaining after only playing one game here, would our players be satisfied? We have to play 16-17 games here. Of course, the impact of the pitch is great. Yau Moses was injured in the last game, and Mehdi Tahirov was injured today. The players also feel the impact of the pitch. Playing here does not depend on me or the players. We have to do our best.
