"Gabala" lost to "Zira" with a score of 1:2 in the 2nd round of the Misli Premier League at home. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the "red-blacks", Kakhaber Tskhadadze, answered journalists' questions at the press conference held after the match:
- It was a very tense game. We need more experience. 19-20 year old children must develop. We expect them to improve from game to game. Overall, it was a good game. I believe that we will get better over time. The main thing is that our game was visible on the field. When we were ahead in the score, we also had opportunities to score. We couldn't turn those episodes into goals due to inexperience. We will be able to show a better game in the next matches.
- You strongly protested Nijat Aliyev before the goal. After that, the football player distinguished himself. Did you score the goal in a figurative sense, or Nijat?
- Nijat scored the goal himself. He is not a robot that I can control from the outside.
- The bench of reserve players is scarce. Is strengthening the squad on the agenda?
- Yes, you are right, there is a shortage on the bench. The management is dealing with this. We work with the team we have. Of course, if we compare with "Zira", our opportunities are less. We would like to have a lot of players.
- Can we say that "Zira" won due to the level of skill?
- Skill and inexperience are close words. If there was an experienced football player in Eshgin Guliyev's place, he would not have made that decision. But Eshgin is a very promising player. We believe in him. "Zira"'s defenders played simply. This shows that they are experienced. Today the football players worked very hard. But that was the result. Life goes on. Young players must have confidence in themselves. We must continue to work with young people and demand a lot from legionnaires. "Zira" is a team that has been playing together for a long time. Rashad Sadigov has been working there for a long time. The team has been participating in European Cups for 2 years.
- You conceded 2 goals in the first half while you were ahead in the score. Doesn't this bother you?
- We have to play simply. Everything will improve as we gain experience. We created the goal ourselves. We also scored an own goal in the match with "Karvan-Yevlakh".
