In the 17th round of the Misli Premier League, "Karvan-Yevlakh" lost to "Sumgayit" at home. Sport24.az presents the report from the press conference of the head coach of the home team, Fizuli Mammadov, which started with a 10-minute delay.
- We had prepared very seriously. We played against a good team. We showed the players the mistakes in the last game. The management and coaches gave motivation. They work hard. We made consecutive mistakes. This also affects our game. They are psychologically challenged. We all did our best to win. I also congratulate the opponent.
- We watched two different halves. What was the reason for the team's poor performance in the first half?
- After the score was 1:0, we switched to "five" defense. But then we conceded a goal again from a gross mistake. There is a team mistake, and there is an individual mistake. Today, individual mistakes affected our game. The management is doing its best to get out of this situation. I can't digest the defeat. I work very hard. I will do my best. I will do everything to get out of this situation. The management leaves my side at 3-4 in the morning.
- Is the squad sufficient to stay in the elite?
- We were only able to make three transfers.
- Are you satisfied with Araz Abdullayev?
- He was preparing very well in winter. He felt pain in his leg, he was treated in Baku for 10-11 days. He is a quality player. One pass can decide the fate of the game. Today, he was a little tired, so I replaced him with Samir.
- Do you see progress in the team since you came? Answer not as the head coach of "Karvan-Yevlakh", but as an expert.
- To be completely honest, there were tactical shortcomings in the previous games. I'm not throwing stones at the previous coach's garden, but there was a lack of physical condition. Whatever is needed, it happens. We are looking for the reason why we cannot win.
- Did you discuss with the management about "Kapaz" playing in Yevlakh?
- There were discussions. "Kapaz" playing here does not affect us.
- What was the reason for your late arrival to the conference?
- We had a meeting with the players. I explained the mistakes.
