In the postponed match of the 14th round of the Misli Premier League, Gabala lost to Turan Tovuz 0:3 at home. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the red-blacks, Kakhaber Tskhadadze, shared his views on the game at the press conference held after the match and answered journalists' questions:
- I will not talk much about the game. First of all, I congratulate Turan Tovuz. We started the game very badly. We conceded 2 goals in the first minutes. It is difficult to recover the game later against an experienced team like Turan Tovuz. After the opponent's 2nd goal, we had several chances. Unfortunately, we couldn't realize them. If we could have scored, maybe the game could have been different. At the beginning of the second half, we scored a goal into our own net. After that, the team could not play as it wanted. Turan Tovuz plays very carefully in defense. It is very difficult to break their defense line.
- Can we say that this was Gabala's weakest game? Maybe you think that the upcoming match with Karvan-Yevlakh is more important?
- Every game is important to us. It is clear that the match with Karvan-Yevlakh is like a final. Prince Owusu is very young. He played too much. Sometimes he also needs to be replaced. We play a game every four days. This is also difficult. In such cases, rotations in the squad are important. Some players showed themselves well, some did not. We need to make rotations in a tight schedule. Those who appear on the field in the starting squad must understand that they have to show themselves. Unfortunately, some couldn't show it. It is impossible to play the whole season with 11 players. Murad Musayev did not play in the previous match. Although he is the captain of the team. He came to the field today and was one of the most flawless players of the team in defense. Everyone should work on themselves like this. The team is not made up of 11 people. Other players should also contribute.
- Karvan-Yevlakh has not been able to win for a long time. You call the game with such a team a final. Are you afraid of your own team?
- We treat all opponents with respect. I can never say that we are stronger than Karvan-Yevlakh. They are also a good team. They try, they fight. Although they have few points, it will be a very serious game.
