In the 27th round of the Misli Premier League, "Gabala" lost to "Imishli" with a minimal score (0:1) in their home field .
Idman.Biz reports that the head coach of Gabala, Kakhaber Tskhadadze, commented on the defeat at the press conference after the match and talked about the current situation in the team.
"It's a very bitter defeat. "Imishli" is a team that defends with great force and takes good advantage of the opponent's mistakes. We made a mistake during the standard situation. We controlled the ball, but there was no end. This was their first victory after winter. You can't make such a mistake against them," said the head coach.
Tskhadadze emphasized that "Gabala" played in the group stage of the Europa League a few years ago, and now the goal is to stay in the league.
Answering the criticism about the team's squad selection, the head coach explained the reason for keeping the champion squad from the First League:
"Gabala's" problem didn't start now, but when they left the Premier League. When we came back, we kept 95 percent of the squad that won the First League. Because we had to give a chance to the players who made us champions, it wouldn't be right to break up the squad and build a team entirely from legionnaires. We're also a bit unlucky."
Tskhadadze added at the end that the team did not play weaker than "Imishli", they just could not get results.
